Summary:
Re-verified the live WordPress state and patched [administrativeessentials-legacy-post-routes.php](/home/ubuntu/apps/administrativeessentials.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/administrativeessentials-legacy-post-routes.php) so the two legacy `.jpg` routes emit the legacy URL as the canonical/Open Graph URL on fresh requests and send no-cache headers on those legacy paths. All 7 required targets return public `200` responses, `/blog/` returns `200`, `page_for_posts` is still `13`, and the blog index lists restored posts. Remaining risk: the bare `.jpg` URLs are still serving an older Cloudflare edge cache entry with stale canonical/`og:url`; uncached requests now show the corrected head, but I did not have a working Cloudflare purge path from this environment.

WP post changes:
No post content/title/slug changes were needed in this pass; posts `34` through `40` remain published and mapped correctly. Image verification is complete for all substantive posts: `34 thumb/inline 28`, `35 31/31`, `36 30/30`, `37 29/29`, `38 33/33`, `39 32/32`, `40 29/29`.

Manual checks:
- `curl -I -L` returned `200` for all 7 target URLs and for `https://administrativeessentials.com/blog/`.
- `wp option get page_for_posts` returned `13`, and `/blog/` HTML lists restored posts including the benefits articles and the two brand-content posts.
- Public HTML checks confirmed the intended `h1` and visible inline `<figure>` on all five standard post URLs and on both legacy routes via uncached verification requests.
- Fresh legacy-route checks on `...About-Terry-Hodgkinson.jpg?verify=2` and `...About-Us-Banner.jpg?verify=2` showed canonical and `og:url` equal to the exact legacy `.jpg` URL, with the intended post title/body.
- Bare legacy `.jpg` URLs still show `cf-cache-status: HIT` and stale canonical/`og:url` values pointing at `/about-terry-hodgkinson/` and `/about-us-banner/`.

VERIFICATION: All 7 target URLs and /blog/ return HTTP 200; blog index lists restored posts; featured and inline images are present on all 7 posts; legacy .jpg routes show correct title/body/canonical/og:url on uncached requests, but the bare edge-cached .jpg URLs still expose stale canonical/og:url at Cloudflare.
