<p>A widget that permits blogmasters to share and exchange links to their posts based on common taxonomy, across their blogs (ie. posts having the same tags or categories). Each link is automatically associated to a thumbnail image.</p>
<h4>Share your posts!</h4>
<p>This WordPress plugin installs a <strong>new sidebar widget</strong> that can display <strong>links to relevant posts on other WordPress blogs</strong> with <strong>automatic thumbnail images</strong>.<br />
The links are chosen based on common language and taxonomy (ie posts in the same language having the same tag(s) or category).<br />
The plugin uses <strong>cache</strong> to avoid multiple database and RSS query.<br />
It has its own widget control pannel.<br />
The look & feel of the post2peer widget is very close to its cousin, the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/" rel="ugc">YD Recent Posts Widget</a>.</p>
<p>Please visit the <a href="http://www.yann.com/wp-plugins/post2peer-wordpress-plugin" title="Yann Dubois' Post2Peer Widget for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">YD Post2Peer Widget plugin support site</a><br />
 and the <a href="http://post2peer.com/about" title="Post2Peer posts and sites directory" rel="nofollow ugc">Post2Peer.com open posts directory</a> to get more info on the Post2Peer project and what’s it’s all about.</p>
<h4>Why share you posts?</h4>
<p>By using this plugin, you will automagically allow all your posts to be registered in the Post2Peer database (this uses you regular WordPress rss feed, plus a special crawler to generate thumbnails for every post).<br />
Once your posts are in the database, they will be elligible to be displayed as links on other person’s blogs (those using the plugin).<br />
Because the link selection algorithm is based on you posts’ taxonomy (tags and categories), links to your posts get to be displayed in a relevant context.<br />
This should draw new visitors to your site and improve your SEO.<br />
The inclusion in the directory is an added bonus, immediately generating deep backlinks to your site’s posts.</p>
<h4>Why display links to other’s blog posts?</h4>
<p>By enabling the Post2Peer plugin, you are able to present you site’s visitor with up-to-date, real-time info relevant to the subject the visitor is currently browsing.<br />
The links you display will very probably complement the info in your own post, so it is a way to position your site as a comprehensive reference on the given subject.<br />
The Post2Peer widget is like an enhanced RSS widget that will display relevant content agregated from a wide database of other WordPress blogs that publish similarly focused features.<br />
The fact that the content is always presented in a visual way (with a small thumbnail image next to each link) adds to the visual attractiveness of your page.</p>
<h4>It’s fun!</h4>
<p>Based on a peer-to-peer concept, the whole process will increase in quality and eventually grow to a wide community of bloggers supporting each other by automatically exchanging relevant links to posts across blogs.<br />
Even in the early stage of its deployment, this plugin is fun because it may link blog posts together in a way that you would never have expected.</p>

Post2Peer Widget

Allows to exchange and share post links + thumbnails across Wordpress blogs, based on matching tags and categories.

<p>Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to regenerate all thumbnail sizes for one or more images that have been uploaded to your Media Library.</p>
<p>This is useful for situations such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new thumbnail size has been added and you want past uploads to have a thumbnail in that size.</li>
<li>You’ve changed the dimensions of an existing thumbnail size, for example via Settings â Media.</li>
<li>You’ve switched to a new WordPress theme that uses featured images of a different size.</li>
</ul>
<p>It also offers the ability to delete old, unused thumbnails in order to free up server space.</p>
<h4>In Memory of Alex Mills</h4>
<p>In February 2019 Alex Mills, the author of this plugin, <a href="https://alex.blog/2019/02/27/from-alexs-family/" rel="nofollow ugc">passed away</a>. He leaves behind a number of plugins which will be maintained by Automattic and members of the WordPress community. If this plugin is useful to you please consider donating to the Oregon Health and Science University. You can find more information <a href="https://alex.blog/2019/03/13/in-memory-of-alex-donation-link-update/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h4>Alternatives</h4>
<p><strong>WP-CLI</strong></p>
<p>If you have command line access to your server, I highly recommend using <a href="https://wp-cli.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP-CLI</a> instead of this plugin as it’s faster (no HTTP requests overhead) and can be run inside of a <code>screen</code> for those with many thumbnails. For details, see the documentation of its <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/media/regenerate/" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>media regenerate</code> command</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Jetpack’s Photon Module</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://jetpack.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jetpack</a> is a plugin by Automattic, makers of WordPress.com. It gives your self-hosted WordPress site some of the functionality that is available to WordPress.com-hosted sites.</p>
<p><a href="https://jetpack.com/support/photon/" rel="nofollow ugc">The Photon module</a> makes the images on your site be served from WordPress.com’s global content delivery network (CDN) which should speed up the loading of images. Importantly though it can create thumbnails on the fly which means you’ll never need to use this plugin.</p>
<p>I personally use Photon on my own website.</p>
<p><em>Disclaimer: I work for Automattic but I would recommend Photon even if I didn’t.</em></p>

I can't even remember for how long I've been using this plugin from time to time... Miss you Alex... I'm sure you're smiling from up above 3> 


Thanks, Alex...

Regenerate the thumbnails for one or more of your image uploads. Useful when changing their sizes or your theme.
