Overview
This WordPress plugin, tailored for developers, introduces a versatile function named `thumbGen()` designed to dynamically generate image thumbnails in specified sizes with various customizable parameters. This function enables users to set image dimensions, cropping preferences, alignment, rotation, and effects such as grayscale and sepia. The generated thumbnails are cached to prevent server overload. The function's parameters include specifying the image URL, desired width and height, with additional options for filename customization, cropping alignment, rotation angle, background color, and image quality. This facilitates efficient thumbnail management and produces optimized images tailored for different needs without straining server resources.
