  Hello. Last month, I uploaded some pictures to my media. Recently, I made a few changes to the pictures. Rather than re-upload those pictures affected, I removed all of them, and re-uploaded with different filenames. Now, I can view then in Draft mode, logged into WP, but not when logged out. I am not sure exactly how to solve this specific issue.

  Hi there, if you’ve deleted the media file or changed the name of the file without also updating your posts with the new image link, the image won’t show up in the post.

  The only thing I can think of as to why the images are still showing up in drafts is that the cache of your deleted images hasn’t yet been emptied. That will happen about three days after deletion.

  Can you give us a link to a published post where you see this happening so we can take a look?

  Is it easy to update the posts with the new image link?

  Thanks Aleone, it does. When Jennifer referred to the cache, I wasn’t sure exactly what she was referring to. I know how to clear my browser cache, and just did so. Thanks for the help, both of you.

  Just checked the pics, they show up fine on my Firebox browser.

  Hi, no worries about the cache thing. Let’s focus on posts where you’re seeing this problem.

  You mentioned this post:

  Now, I can view then in Draft mode, logged into WP, but not when logged out. I am not sure exactly how to solve this specific issue.

  I’m seeing one image of an avatar on that post whether or not I’m logged in. Is that what you’re seeing too? What browser are you using when you do not see an image on that post?

  Are there other posts that are affected?

  Also,

  As easy as editing each post, sure! Just add media, and re-insert from your media library.

  Hello again @jennifernicoleellarose – my apologies! I was actually referring to a different cache, but @aleone89 was on the right track.
