So this plugin was designed by morons, apparently. It caches images forever, with no way to remove or update them. Arguably this is sort of generous… but heaven forbid you ever want to change any image on your website. They claim that deleting images or purging the cache is somehow “difficult technically”, but obviously it’s not, at all. Except for the fact that they’re morons.
Anyway, it seems the only way around this is to give the file a new name. But guess what, wordpress may also have been designed by morons and doesn’t make renaming files possible.
But fortunately, someone by the name of Milan Dinić was not a moron and wrote a nice little plugin for renaming files. That was three years ago, but it still seems to work. Thank goodness.
Anyway, if you see any filenames that start with something like fuckjetpack1-, now you know why.
In other news, I’m starting to lose patience with all this (could you tell?), so I’m just gonna turn the real theme on again and hope for the best. Worst that can happen is they ban me and I have to rebuild my site on some better host. That would be a pain, but so is getting stonewalled by these guys.

Ban you for what?
Using their CPU too much. But that’s not really gonna happen, potentially my hosting will get suspended again, if this theme really is murdering the CPU for some reason, but I’ll just have to ask them to turn it on again.
It’s super annoying though, basically CPU time is the main thing I’m paying for, yet they simply do no provide any way for me to see how much I’m using. It’s starting to feel pretty unfair.
