The petition, which had 28 signatories, has been backed by exploitation survivor Sammy Woodhouse.
Ms Woodhouse, who was groomed and raped when she was a child in the town and later went on to waive her anonymity, said the picture should have been removed immediately.
She added: “It shouldn’t be this difficult.”
Mr Wright had faced repeated calls to step down in the wake of the report by Alexis Jay before his eventual resignation.
The Home Affairs Select Committee later referred two complaints to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) after allegations Mr Wright had lied to MPs in Parliament over the scandal.
Mr Wright denied that he had lied, and in 2018 the IOPC said that there was insufficient evidence for a referral to the Director of Public Prosecutions after finding there was insufficient evidence to back up the allegations.
