Regenerate Thumbnails

Plugin Description:

Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to regenerate all thumbnail sizes for one or more images that have been uploaded to your Media Library.

This is useful for situations such as:

  • A new thumbnail size has been added and you want past uploads to have a thumbnail in that size.
  • You’ve changed the dimensions of an existing thumbnail size, for example via Settings ? Media.
  • You’ve switched to a new WordPress theme that uses featured images of a different size.

  2. What about ERROR::”function (){if(!d){var c=arguments,g,h,i,j,k;b&&(k=b,b=0);for(g=0,h=c.length;g” ??
    How can I fix it?

    • From my experience that means that the AJAX is returning an invalid response (invalid JSON). I think it’s a bug in jQuery.

      I’m not sure how to fix it. 🙁

      If you know how to use Firebug or Chrome’s developer tools, inspect the AJAX response and see what you’re getting back.

  3. Hi,

    I really love your plug-in but since WP 3.3.1 release, it isn’t working any more (same for 3.3.2).

    🙁

  6. Let’s see if I can explain this, the plug-in resized my thumbnails so when I am viewing them on the back end in the gallery they look right, but when I publish my site they have not changed. Any thoughts?

    • My plugin doesn’t go through your posts and edit them to reference the new sizes, not yet at least. If you have hard-coded references to images in your post, you’ll need to manually update those.

      Gallery thumbnails, attachment pages, post thumbnails, etc. will automatically be updated though.

  7. Thanks for a great plug-in. I’ve used it quite successfully previously but I’m wondering if there could be a possible enhancement where it could be selective on which image size gets re-generated. In my case I’ve added a new thumbnail image size of 80×80 used for post navigation. It seems it would be helpful if I could just re-gen all the thumbs for that new image size vs. re-gen all thumb sizes (site has a lot of images and several custom sizes).

  9. Hi, great plugin, however it’s not quite working for me.

    I’ve used the plugin and it’s created new resized thumbnails for all my images but for some reason it isn’t replacing the actual images on the website. What I mean is that although it’s created the new thumbnails it’s not replacing the images on the pages of my site.

    Any ideas? I’m using wordpress version 3.3.2

    • The URLs to your thumbnails are likely hard-coded into your content. My plugin doesn’t (yet) go through all of your posts and edit the HTML for them. You’ll need to do that yourself.

      • Hi Alex,
        I have a website (denimhunters.com) that I’ve been running for a couple years now and over time I’ve changed the “attached display settings” for my images from 628px width to 640px. Do you know of any plugin that can change the display size of the pictures that are displaying at 628px? I have run all my +8,000 pictures through your great plugin, but as Cian I thought this would do the job and change the displayed image size. But sadly it doesn’t. So once again, my question is if you know about a plugin that will do this job – if it’s even possible to make such a plugin? I have around 5,000 images that need to be changed so doing it manually is simply not an option.
        Thanks for you help.

        • The issue is the thumbnail URLs (complete with thumbnail size) are directly contained within your post’s contents.

          I worked on some code for this plugin that would loop though all posts, updating all thumbnail URLs to reflect the latest thumbnail sizes, but it was kinda buggy. I should probably revisit that though.

  10. Hi Alex,

    Great plugin, we’ve used this across loads of sites at work. I’ve hit a slight issue however. We have a multisite setup with all sites using the same theme.

    We released version 1 6 months ago and now we’re starting to improve it. Slight snag in that all of the images were defined and now we’d need to regenerate them in order to change the appearance.

    Any experience with this plugin on a multisite setup and would it be possible to trigger the regeneration process on demand for all sites?

    Any feedback would be great.

  13. Not sure why but the plugin stops on my WP 3.4.1 installation when regenerating thumbnails at 7.9% with the JAVASCRIPT error : TypeError: ‘null’ is not an object (evaluating ‘response.success’) on line 266 of tools.php. Any advice?

    • It seems to be something on this installation of WP. None of the thumbnails are generating in 3.4.1 for me. I even reinstalled WordPress. Nothing. Can i give you a login to the server to have a look?

      • Nevermind again, it seems to be a conflict with another plugin. Don’t have time to figure out which one right now either.

  20. Great plugin, indeed! I tried it allready and successfull at the first time. No error, neither problem… All my images where regenerated during preparing a coffee. I see it will be good now to connect this plugin with BuddyPress.

  21. Awesome. Just had a problem w thumbnails, and then I remembered this plug in (from another site I have). So I installed, and it worked like magic (on my photography website). Absolutely great. Love it, and thank you.

  25. I just wanted to say Thank you very much for your time and effort in creating this plugin. For a long time I wanted to move away from TimThumb and use the regular post thumbnail functionality in WP but was never happy with the way images were turning out. Then a friend of mine suggested your plugin. AWESOME!!! now I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Again thank you very much. Keep up the good work.

  31. Alex, is there anyway to adjust permissions for the different user roles? For example, only administrators have access to plugins on my WordPress site, but I’d like to enable editors to regenerate thumbnails after they upload and post.

    Thanks in advance, and great plugin!

  32. Alex, your plugin resize thumbnail images so you do not cut a piece?

    regenero when the thumbnails in my posts the pictures appears cut highlighted.

  34. Alex —

    Great plugin! Wondering if you know of a method to run this via the command line or a shell script? Have a site that we need to process this on to remove unnecessary images from the uploads for storage reasons.

    There’s currently 6500+ images and it’s just a very slow process to leave in the browser.

  36. Hi Alex. Great plugin.

    However, I am having some issues. My home page posts use dynamic function calls for thumbnails:

    the_post_thumbnail(‘small-square’, array(‘class’ => ‘wpp-thumbnail wp-post-image’));

    However, when I run the plugin in my media library, it gives a message that 10 images have been processed successfully. I don’t see any indication of specific image sizes being generated, and on my home page, you can see that the original image is sourced in the img tag for the recent posts, for example.

    This is true for the entire site. I attempted to fix this using CSS hacks, and it’s holding me over until this gets working.

    I have contacted the theme author, and he attributes this to your plugin. I couldn’t find anything related to a similar problem.

    My wp-content directory has full perms available when I run your plugin.

    What can be going wrong?

    Thank you.

  37. Heh, been using this plugin setting up my online store and noticed a familiar name 🙂 Greetings from a FinalGear regular! Thanks for the great little plugin.
