Long time user with Tiger skin and I can't get the Theme Image to update reliably. I've even deleted the image from jalbum (the are linked, not copied) but the old image still appears across the top of the generated page.

I've deleted all files from the server and refreshed and FTP'd them up again without success.

There seems to be an issue that the new Theme Image sometimes looks fine on a desktop or phone but not an Android tablet or iPad. How it will show up is not predictable.

As these screenshots show I have 3 different versions showing up at the same time on a Win10 desktop.

There's only one way an image that isn't on the server can still be showing up in the browser - it's being cached somewhere. Refresh your browser cache while viewing the page - CTRL-F5.

And you're not using Cloudflare, are you? That will "helpfully" keep coughing up a cached image for days after you've changed it.

Thank you for the Cloudflare purge suggestion.

I recently added the Cloudflare option added to my WordPress website and that was the issue.

Weird how it would serve up different pages to different browsers and devices.

I tinkered with free Cloudflare for a while, and found that for visitors from the U.S., it actually made my site slower. Quickly removed it.
