Overview
Regenerate Thumbnails is a WordPress plugin designed to regenerate all thumbnail sizes for images in your Media Library. This functionality is particularly useful if you've added a new thumbnail size, changed the dimensions of an existing size, or switched to a new WordPress theme that requires different image dimensions. Additionally, the plugin offers a feature to delete old, unused thumbnails to conserve server space. Originally created by the late Alex Mills, the plugin is now maintained by Automattic and the WordPress community. Alternatives such as WP-CLI and Jetpack’s Photon Module are recommended for users with specific needs for speed or on-the-fly thumbnail creation. Support for Regenerate Thumbnails is available through WordPress.org forums and its source code can be accessed on GitHub.
