Built-in Repair & Diagnostic Tools
<ul>

<li>Fix Thumbnails — Finds offloaded images where thumbnail sizes are missing from the cloud. Common after bulk offload interruptions or when WordPress generates new image sizes. Uploads missing thumbnails and stores their cloud URLs so all image sizes load correctly.</li>
<li>Fix URLs — Detects when your CDN URL, bucket, or region settings changed but stored media URLs still point to the old location. Bulk-updates all stored URLs to match current settings without re-uploading. Essential after migrating between providers or changing CDN configuration.</li>
</ul>
Each repair tool follows a Scan > Review > Fix workflow with real-time progress tracking.
