Broken images from deleted MonsterInsights plug-in

Hello WordPress community,

I recently discovered an issue on my website (https://gadgetgalore.org) where a previously used MonsterInsights plug-in left behind broken images on most of my pages. I’ve since deleted the plug-in, but the broken images are still detected when I’m logged in as an admin.

Here’s a link to the broken image that appears on most pages: https://gadgetgalore.org/wp-content/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/assets/images/monsterinsights-badge-light.svg

Since the image is part of the WP-content, you won’t be able to view it directly, but it’s the MonsterInsights badge that used to appear at the bottom of my site.
here is a screenshot I did:

I’ve checked my Elementor footer and there’s no reference to the MonsterInsights plug-in there.

I’m not sure how it’s still being detected as if it’s present on my site even if I deleted the plugin weeks ago….

To make matters worse, my SEO crawling tool has identified this as a problem on hundreds of pages such as:
https://gadgetgalore.org/travel-and-outdoor/types-of-fish-finders
https://gadgetgalore.org/home-and-kitchen/smart-home-gadgets
and many many more… but I can’t see the image from the pages as a user…

I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance on how to completely remove all traces of this MonsterInsights plug-in from my entire site. I want to ensure that my site is free from any broken images or other issues that may negatively impact my SEO.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards, Mose

[SOLVED] Broken image from deleted MonsterInsights plug-in – New Issue with Image Caption Shortcut

Hello WordPress community,

I wanted to share an update on my previous support request regarding the broken images caused by the deleted MonsterInsights plug-in. I’ve managed to solve the issue myself by updating the caption and description of every image that used the shortcut “#image_title”. After doing this, the broken image error was gone.

However, I still don’t understand how this shortcut was referencing the deleted MonsterInsights plug-in. Now, every time I upload a new image, the same “#image_title” shortcut appears in the caption and description, which I need to manually edit each time to avoid the issue.

Does anyone know how to remove this reference or disable the “#image_title” shortcut from automatically appearing in the caption and description fields for new images? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Thanks so much for updating your post with this information. Can I ask, does this same issue happen when Worth The Read is deactivated?

Thank you for responding,

I apologize for the confusion – I found this forum through a Google search and saw a similar post here, so I mistakenly created my topic here. As it turns out, this is not the correct forum for my issue. If someone could kindly move my topic to the appropriate forum (i.e., “Plugin: MonsterInsights”), I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
