    Hi The Three,

    The actual image size would completely depend on the image file sizes available for WordPress to choose from. The thumbnail size would first depend on the settings you have under Settings > Media for thumbnail sizes, but even if the Thumbnail size setting is correctly set to 150×150, if there isn’t an existing 150×150 image file for that image then WordPress will pick a larger size to work with.

    Is the site live somewhere where I can review the output with you?

    The website is in localhost…

    i found the problem… It was at the settings as you said… The thumbnail it was set to 600×600 but why the wordpress generate and a 150×150 file?

    Glad you got it figured out!

    I’m not sure I understand your question here, but there are many ways that different file sizes can/could be created and WordPress will always pick the next largest size available for the size requested. So, if you request a 150×150 image and the only size available is a 600×600 version, than this the one it will use.

    There are tools like the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin that will check through your image assets (media posts) and for each one make sure the correct sizes are created based on the current image sizes defined by your site’s settings and the plugin & theme declarations for image sizes.
