Doesn’t have any effect

    Some idiot suggested me to use a thumbnail deletion and thumbnail prevention plugin in order to make the site faster and lighter, but it actually broke the site.

    Now I have been trying to fix things, but nothing seems to be able to restore the thumbnails, not even this Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. I tried several times. This plugin has no effect, it makes no change.

    The woocommerce product thumbnails are randomly missing in cart and some even in wishlist, but most thumbnails appear in the shop. Some are missing even there, just randomly, which is weird.

    I tried to reset the product variation images to force new images to appear… Nothing.

    When I “View image” of an empty frame I get a 404 error, but the image file name looks odd, it ends like this: .jpg_300x300-600×600.jpg
    The thumbs that do show don’t have that 300×300 part in them.

  • I’ve just install and tried to use this plugin too. No effect for me either. I’m on WP 5.4.1. Running under local version 5.3.3+3248.

    This seems like a deeper issue to me. I have used this plugin on many sites when changing themes and never had any issues.

    As we speak I am using it on a WooCommerce store that we are re-templating. There are over 3,500 images on the site. The previous theme had a lot of custom images sizes and the other developer had changed the sizes of the standard WP images.

    I synced down all the sizes for several images before I ran some tests. I compared the results with what I had downloaded. All the image sizes no longer needed are gone and the standard WP sizes are back to normal. Also the images sizes needed for the new theme have been created. The site is on WP 5.4.1

    Even though we are working on an offline copy of the website I took a full backup before doing any of this, just in case. Always backup. ??

    @sgmax from what you say it seems you used a different plugin first. Is that the case? I’m not sure if you have checked what that plugin may have done to your images but it could have been the one that created the weird image filenames/sizes and messed up the image meta in the database. This plugin can only work with what it sees. If another plugin has broken the images this one can’t fix that.

    @dldave what exactly do you mean when you say it had no effect? Did it not create images or not delete ones? It’s hard to make suggestions without specifics.

    On a side note @sgmax I understand you’re frustrated but the idiots suggestion was correct. When we start working on an existing website the images are one of the first things we look at. As well as clearing out the junk, one of the best things you can do is use an image optimizer plugin.

    I downloaded one of the images from the link you posted above and ran it through TinyPNG (yes it works on JPGs as well ?? ). It reduced the image size by 45%. That’s a big saving especially if there are lots of images on a page. It’s all about page load speed. ??

    I have used the Imsanity and “Compress JPEG & PNG images” plugins with success. There are many others, Smush being one of the more popular ones.

    Thanks for the info. I’m a real nubie at this, so I missed an important clue: My site (running with Flywheel local) can only import 1MB files. The images I was trying to regenerate were smaller than the sizes I had specified, so no surprise, nothing happened.

    Can anyone guide me through increasing the limit of image imports?

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Do you have access to your .htacces file? If so you can add this and it should let you upload larger files. Set the size to be larger than the images you are uploading. ??
