When you insert images in WordPress, it’s always a specific image size. It can be an image size such as Medium, Large or something else set by your theme or another plugin. When you update your media sizes settings (or switch theme), you need to regenerate those images (with Regenerate Thumbnails, for example). But what about your posts content? They will be still using the old images, which aren’t actually part of the new metadata, and little by little your WordPress will become more and more broken. This plugin fixes this by regenerating the HTML for your thumbnails / images in your content and keeps everything clean. Once this is done, it’s a good idea to run a tool like Media Cleaner (https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-cleaner/) on your install to detect the useless files.
Be careful!. Before using this plugin, backup your database! It doesn’t modify your files, only database.

Regenerate Thumbnails HTML

Works well on my two plugins after switching to a new theme. Regenerate Thumbnails (after set up the new sizes) + Regenerate Thumbnails HTML (on all posts, for 2 or 3 sizes) + Media Cleaner (to delete the useless files). In one hour, the new installs are neat and clean.

It works well

Thank you!
After change WP media sizes for new theme we must use regenerate thumbnail plug-in. But I want apply new sizes in old post! After that I can clear old images!

Good work with "view-broken-links" plug-in.

Gold in ocean of wp problems

Update the HTML of the images contained in the post from one image size to another. Useful when switching between sizes and themes.

This plugin behaves similarly to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/" rel="ugc">Regenerate Thumbnails</a> except that images are resized automatically / on the fly, when they are used. Once created, they won’t be processed again.
Your thumbnails will now resize when:
<ul>
<li>Image Sizes in Settings > Media is modified,</li>
<li>Switching themes & plugins with different thumbnail / featured image sizes</li>
</ul>
No settings pages, just install and activate and things should work right away.

<h4>What are you talking about?</h4>
Test it out. In your normal WordPress website set up, create a gallery using the Add Media button while editing a post or page and use thumbnails. Afterwards, check out your gallery.
Notice the size of your thumbnails, most likely they’re 150 x 150. Do you see it? Great.
Now head over to Settings > Media and change your thumbnail size to something cooler, something rectangular, let’s try 400 x 200. Save it.
Go back to your gallery that you previously created and refresh your browser. Most likely you won’t be seeing 400 x 200 thumbnails there.
OTF Regenerate Thumbnails fixes this for you.
<h4>Usage</h4>
OTF Regenerate Thumbnails should work right away, and your images should get resized when the dimensions get changed.
For developers & tinkerers, ensuring your images get resized properly requires you to use WordPress’ image functions to display featured images and image attachments. Don’t worry, this is a good thing.
Make sure you use these WordPress functions every time you display images:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_get_attachment_image_src</code></a></li>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_get_attachment_image</code></a></li>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>the_post_thumbnail</code></a></li>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_post_thumbnail" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>get_the_post_thumbnail</code></a></li>
</ul>
You can also add size names using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>add_image_size</code></a>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Creates Resizes thumbnails on the fly</li>
<li>Handles Image Size settings changes in Settings > Media</li>
<li>Handles thumbnail / image size changes introduced by switching themes & plugins</li>
<li>Works automatically, no setup needed</li>
<li>All calls to <code>the_post_thumbnail</code> and other thumbnail functions are handled automatically</li>
<li>Handles image sizes created from <code>add_image_size</code>,</li>
<li>Handles <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail" rel="nofollow ugc">2-item array sizes</a></li>
</ul>
