it's making same sized pictures

  • Hi.

    I once used thumnail regenerator, but it leaves old size pictures and markup text included in posts.

    Does OTF Regenerate modify all file names like apple500x300.png to apple1000x600.png?

    it worked but not as I expected. It just made clones from old size. the new size I set up was not excuted.

    And I removed all add_image_size functions from nirvana theme because it generate 7 thumnails and takes much more space than necessary.

    OTF doesn’t actually touch anything on its own unless an image gets prompted for display. It will not regenerate thumbnails for images not being used. For example, if you have an apple.png previously uploaded and a theme/plugin requests for a size that doesn’t exist yet e.g. 1000×600, it prompts WordPress to create that size based on the original image.

    As for your other point, add_image_size really behaves that way. It makes your site remember a specific image size (along with its name) and every new image that gets uploaded generates all those sizes. If you remove those however, your site won’t know what dimensions a certain named size would be.

    OTF also uses the values specified by calls to add_image_size to check whether or not it should regenerate an image.
