If the issue continues under the updated Twenty Twenty-Five theme, try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file just below the define('DB_HOST' line.

To do so, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and edit the file with a plain text editor.

Right, and as mentioned, I’m unable to reproduce the issue with WordPress 6.9 on Firefox 146, Vivaldi 7.7.3851.58 (Chromium 142.0.7444.228), or Safari 26.1. So, I’m not sure what “change in Javascript that apparently introduced an incompatibility” you’re referring to.

Are you using any sort of caching plugin, or do you see a “Clear/Purge Cache” button in your Dashboard or admin bar? If so, would you please try clearing the cache?

Note: You do not need to install a caching plugin at this point just to clear a cache you don’t have. If you don’t have a caching plugin or a way to clear a server-level cache, just say so. 🙂

This problem may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to deactivate all plugins and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-Four theme. If the problem goes away, re-activate them one by one to identify the source of the problem. If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to deactivate all plugins and change the theme for you while you’re still logged in without affecting normal visitors to your site.

Maybe individually, one could tick ‘generate smaller versions’, but I think the relevance is no longer here. Having to code it on functions.php, in a time of ‘let a wizard/UI’ do it doesn’t really seem user-friendly.

To disable WordPress’s automatic resizing, without code, visit Settings -> Media in your site’s Dashboard, and set width and height for all three sizes to 0.

I don’t recommend it though. Not everyone has gigabit broadband.

wordpress.com subdomains [probably a commercial multisite offerer for non-code-savvy people] cannot even use custom themes

To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and ww.wp.xz.cn are two different entities: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/documentation/article/difference-between-wordpress-org-and-wordpress-com/

WordPress.com has complete documentation and support contacts at https://wordpress.com/support/

Yes, there can be some benefits. For details, see https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/#optimize-software

Use a block theme, and simply either remove any block related to displaying the posts (the Latest Posts or Blog Posts blocks), change the Query Loop block’s settings if that’s used instead, or just avoid any templates designed to display blog posts.

Keep in mind that WordPress is a content management system, and posts are a type of content it manages. The functionality will remain in the backend, but it’s trivial to modify any block theme to never display posts.

These block themes are all free: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/tags/full-site-editing/

Block themes use the new Site Editor, meaning that how you can modify a theme is now almost limitless without even having to touch CSS: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/documentation/article/site-editor/

Therefore, the theme can display as much, or as little as you want, you have full control.

There’s also a video tutorial if you prefer that style: https://learn.ww.wp.xz.cn/tutorial/intro-to-the-site-editor-and-template-editor/

Who is your hosting provider? Also, are you using Cloudflare?

Oh, is the site fully local? Sorry, I had assumed it was public.

In that case, you’ll just have to right click and Inspect Element on some of the missing image items, make sure they’re a href="https:// and not a href="http://

If they are, try regenerating your SSL certificate.
