I solved my problem by first upgrading my theme (enfold) & all my plugins and then upgrading WordPress to the lasted version. I am not sure where exactly the problem was but I have a suspicion that it was in the LayerSlider code that comes with Enfold as it was doing some funny stuff (loosing connections to image files used in a slider even though they were still in the media library). That is just a guess as I did not do any exhaustive testing once I got it working.

@wpyogi,

I had a backup of the 3.9.2 installation and when the upgrade to 4.1.1 did not go as planned I restored to the older version. I am in the middle of promoting the site to production. When I am done and have two secs, I will go back and recreate the upgrade problem and start to debug it as you suggested by disabling the plugins to see if one of them was the offending party. I will also try @jrcwp’s suggestion regarding editing the wp-options settings. Will post again when I have more info. Thanks
