I completed re-sizing the images for use in the galleries and uploaded them. I then bulk deleted the problematic larger versions from each of the four initial galleries. I thought the problem was solved. As usual a new problem arose. When I uploaded the re-sized images thumbnails were present for both the older larger versions of the images and the newer smaller versions. Once I deleted the older larger files the thumbnails for the newer smaller files disappeared. Well not quite, one file in each of the four galleries showed a thumbnail. As there were about twenty images in each gallery this was not a high percentage.
I tried to get the software to create thumbnails. It tried but told me the process failed. In the end I tried uploading a second copy of the re-sized images to the galleries. Once the second copy was uploaded the thumbnails appeared. Attempting to delete any one copy of the images caused the thumbnail to disappear. I will have to see if I can find out why. In the meantime the site works again. The images display faster as one would expect with considerably smaller files.
Now I have to see if I can figure out how to make a drop down menu for the images item on the main menu.
