Perhaps if you gave us a link to the site, we may be able to help.

Wordpress has a habit of performing auto updates on itself and/or plugins if you allow it.  It is possible one of the updates has resulted in an issue.  If you have previous backups, I would take a snapshot of today and upload it to a testing area for us to examine and restore the backup.  Otherwise, as stated, if you give us a link we can take a look and give you an assessment, but you may also want to reach out to the Wordpress community and specifically the developer of your plugin to get their take on the issue as well.

Why don't you contact the theme creator?

[rayek.elfin · Accepted solution]

The wp-gallery-custom-links plugin is no longer supported or developed, and, based on the comments on Wordpress.org, the plugin seems to have compatibility issues with WP 4.7 and other plugins such as Jetpack.

I checked the code that is generated, and the image sources are not linking to the actual images - just to //3dms.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ - which means something is amiss with the plugin's code that generates these. The links still work, though - which tells me it is probably a compatibility issue with the newer version(s) of WordPress.

You may have to look around for an alternative plugin, or invest money in a WordPress developer who fixes this for you.

One of the biggest drawbacks to using WordPress is incompatibility with older themes & plugins  Not all themes are created equally.   Likewise, some plugin developers get lazy and stop improving their products. 

When your WP installation is updated, things can  break down.  It's time to find a new Theme and/or plugins.

Reverting to older versions of WP is not a good idea for security reasons.   WP is open source and as such an  easy target for hacking.  So it's important to stay current with latest security patches even if it's inconvenient in the short term.
