Assuming this was/is the problem how can I update the cache (in the cloud, I assume) where Jetpack was trying to serve the photos – the links to which were broken? Correct me if I misunderstand how this works.

I do have Jetpack installed and I did have what they refer to as “Speed up images and photos” in Plugins>Installed Plugins>Settings turned on. I turned it off and – presto chango, mirabile dictu! – everything seems to work. Many thanks! I will let you know I have further problems, but I think (fingers crossed) things are working now.

This may drive me mad. I had a few moments this morning and did the following: deleted an image from a post and the library, uploaded a new copy of the image, regenerated the thumbnail via Regenerate Thumbnails. I then added it back to the post (featured image) with the following results.

As seen from the wordpress editing program – Safari

Also as seen within the WordPress program. The image is not displaying.

The image as it appears in the media library.

But when I view in Opera, the image looks great on the slider, but is broken in the post.

Image is broken in post.

As before, your help will be appreciated.

I installed it and ran it. It may have helped. I’m not entirely sure because I haven’t tried to recreate the offending gallery. (It will be a few days until I can get to it.)

I do have this question, however. How is it that an image that appears to be properly loaded into the media library and displays on the post editing screen does not then appear on the browser screen? The post itself was properly updated and published. Screenshot 1 was done in Safari, 2 in Opera, whose cache had been previously cleared.

Thanks for your help. I continued to see problems in all three browsers (Chrome, Safari, & Firefox) even after refreshing and cleaning out my cache. My wife’s computer showed the same. The most frustrating part was not the errors, per se, but how they kept changing. For example, I could delete an image from the library, reload it with a different name, put it back on the page and everything would look fine. I would then look at on a different browser and a different image was then broken. I rebuilt and optimized the database – which I assume was the root of the problem, but to no avail. I then downloaded a backup – unfortunately somewhat out of date – and installed the site on my local computer. I found a few errors, but not the ones on the live site. I then uploaded the revised version to the live server and it seems to be mostly working. I say mostly because I could not get one image to work in a gallery, despite deleting and reloading it multiple times. I gave up and listed the items as a bulleted list and things seem to be OK.

Once again, thanks for you help.

FWIW, I checked the display on my phone and it was differently broken. On the phone the two outer columns display, while the center column does not. Several images on various posts are also broken.

FWIW, I just got one of the columns to work. I’ve been at this all day, but will keep trying. ??

Will do. Thanks again for your really quick reply. It is working perfectly.

Perfect! Many thanks!

Fixed it. The fraudulent message appears only when in the editor (Coda) which offers a preview of the blog. The message did not appear when Safari was started from the dock. Here is how to do it from Apple’s discussion forum:
