That does sound a bit strange. Have you already read through this article? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-6-9/
I see that an image called “topheading-blog.jpeg” should be displayed in the header. However, it no longer exists on the server under the specified path from 2022. Can you find the image in your media library in the backend?
Please also check under Tools > Site Health to see if there are any abnormalities there.
Since this happened after the WP 6.9 update, here are a few more things to try:
- Check if it’s an Eduma theme issue: Try switching to a default theme temporarily to see if images load. If they do, it’s likely an Eduma CSS or compatibility problem.
- Flush your image cache: Go to Settings → Media, then check if image sizes need to be regenerated. Use a plugin like “Regenerate Thumbnails” to reset all image sizes.
- Check file permissions: Make sure /wp-content/uploads folder has correct permissions (usually 755)
- Check .htaccess: Sometimes WP 6.9 changes need .htaccess rules updated. Try temporarily disabling it to test.
- Contact Eduma/Learnpress support: Since this is a specific plugin/theme combo, they may have known compatibility issues with WP 6.9.
Let us know what you find and we can dig deeper!
