  Hi,

  I’ve an external image that shows the actual weather of a town. This image gets updated every time you reload the page. I’ve seen from some time now that this image is stuck. I tried to change the url but nothing happens.

  I’ve googled it and I’ve found that the issue must be the Jetpack and the Photon option, that creates a url with a i0.wp.com that makes impossible to refresh the image.

  Is anyway to get rid of this?

  Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Adventure Journal theme you are using is a retired theme. Retired themes doesn’t support all wordpress.com features. The recommendation is to switch themes. You could choose one of the themes in WordPress.com theme directory.
  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/two-columns+responsive-layout/
  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function so that you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set-up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult.

  Regarding showing the actual weather of a town, Weather Underground widget would do the needful regarding displaying weather if the one you are using in your site doesn’t work even after theme change.

  Hope that helps.

  Thank you.
