Solved here too. Refreshing the page with F5 was not good enough, CTRL + F5 solved the problem!

Solved. I've cleaned the cookies on the browser. Can anyone explain why I need to do this?

Thank you

I'm experiencing the same issue. I've changed my avatar picture once, and although it has changed in the "profile", it hasn't "populated" to any of my posts. This has happened after I've uninstalled the cache built-in cache plugin by wordpress. I wonder if these are related.

Thank you

This is a browser cache. When you change the image it's already changed but you see the old avatar, you just need to refresh it. In future releases we'll add a last-mod attribute in image to reset cache automatically.

I'm having the similar issue here. it seems like when a user changes its profile picture for the second time (and so on), it doesn't change at all.

The weird thing is, if I go back on the website on MS edge or explore, it's changed. it's weird, because edge STILL 'briefly' loads and shows the old profile picture and then quickly switches back to the new one. So it doesn't seem to be purely 'cache' issue on the browser.

Then, if I go to my website with any other browsers with no cache or data on the website, it still shows the old one. It seems like the server has both of the pictures and the program is having a hard time which one to show or something lol. I've been deleting cache all the time and tried a bunch of different devices while I was testing with it so it's not browser cache issue I believe.

Hello, I am experiencing the same issue regarding profile picture only being able to change once. First time setting the profile picture everything went fine. Second time around it seems as if the new picture doesn't load everywhere and instead the first one used (old) is displayed.

Below are some screenshots all taken on the same website with the same user at the exact time of new picture was uploaded.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate any help.

Hello

Just a heads up i use managed WP on godaddy with Generate Press theme no such issues.

But i recognize godaddy managed wp is very limited they recommended shared hosting with cPanel.

And try to add something like this into functions.php file at the bottom of it,and i recommend to make child theme because with updates the file will be replaced.

@ini_set( 'memory_limit', '256M' );
@ini_set( 'upload_max_size', '64M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '64M' );
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );
