Thumbnail images not sharp

    Hi there,

    Since your last update where a number of things relating to product images / thumbnails were completely modified, we noticed that the thumbnail images displayed in the single product page image viewer were no longer sharp. The issue appears to be coming from your new “image regeneration” feature, which I believe was tring to create image sizes which were not required. We have disabled this with the snippet below and cleaned all redundant images from our database, and now the thumbnails are sharp again. Maybe this helps some other people….

    add_filter( ‘woocommerce_background_image_regeneration’, ‘__return_false’ );

    UPDATE – I just discovered the “regenerate thumbnails” button under WooCommerce tools, which I had not seen before. I am guessing this might solve this problem of images not being sharp.

    Can someone tell me if this “regenerate thumbnails” also removes unwanted image sizes, or just creats new image sizes based on your template requirements?

    He @dav74

    The regeneration process does a combination of the two by redeclaring the image sizes listed on this page:

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/image-sizes-theme-developers/

    Any issue with the image quality after regeneration is likely a result of the theme.
