Hi, TY for your reply!
No after I posted, I stopped working on my site since I was so frustrated. I was still only seeing 2 images as of just 30 minutes ago.
I think the image src with wp was because I was using a Jetpack plugin feature that loaded the images through the WP content delivery network to save bandwidth and load the site faster. Nothing had been changed in that regard, but once I saw your reply, I thought maybe there was a glitch there, so I disabled that feature. After a few minutes of having it deactivated, all of the images came back.
I don’t know what caused this. Jetpack hasn’t had an update for sometime now, and it was working fine until June 5th. Very weird!
Any idea if it could be a new conflict with the theme or a mix of that plus a problem with the newest WordPress? The downside of turning the WP content delivery network off is now when I try to share the pages on FB, most of them won’t load the page featured image.
Definitely don’t want to change the theme though!
