    I have some more specific details on the problem.

    I checked my pages after the recent version of WordPress was released, and it had no effect on any of the incorrect thumbnails I’ve been seeing. Since that failed, I did some experimenting and found that it is indeed the file names that are somehow being incorrectly called by the plugin. I don’t know why or how, but they are.

    I am an artist, and I post a lot of Work-In-Progress images of my work. For ease of organization, I always name the files artwork-name-wip#.jpg, and just leave off the -wip# on the finished image. The incorrect thumbnails are always pulling image files that start the same, then have a dash. I’ve found some other locations where it is also pulling incorrect thumbnails (not WIP) which have filenames that start the same, but have a dash.

    I was able to fix the problem on one thumbnail by deleting all the similar named images in my Media Library, re-uploading them with a different filename that does not use a dash, and recreating all the instances of those images everywhere on my site. I’m sure I could take the same approach renaming the intended thumbnail and replacing all of its instances. It took about ten minutes to fix just one problem thumbnail, so with dozens of incorrect thumnbs you can imagine that I don’t relish the idea of doing this for every single instance of an incorrectly called thumb.

    Simply replacing the media with a new filename did not work. The identifying filename at the top of the Edit Media page stayed the same even when the called filename was changed. That makes me think it is that identifying filename where the problem is happening.

    I can and will alter all my image files if I have to in order to have my web site appear as it should. However, I am hoping that this is a bug you have the time to address. If there is absolutely any other information I can give you to help with the problem, please let me know.

    Thank you so much for your time. I love the way your plugin works, and it has helped me tremendously in making my web site look the way I want it to.

    I’m not participating in the beta testing, so I’ll have to wait until the next release comes out to see if that fixes it. Thank you for your help.
