<p>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.</p>
<p><strong><em>Be careful!</em></strong>. Before using this plugin, backup your database! It doesn’t modify your files, only database.</p>


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.

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

<p>The Selective Thumbnail Regenerator plugin provides a convenient way to regenerate image thumbnails for WordPress media libraries. Unlike other thumbnail regeneration plugins that process the entire library, this plugin allows you to selectively regenerate thumbnails for images uploaded during a specific year and month.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Date-based Selection</strong>: Choose a specific year and month to limit which thumbnails are regenerated</li>
<li><strong>Progress Tracking</strong>: Visual progress bar shows the status of the regeneration process</li>
<li><strong>User-friendly Interface</strong>: Simple dropdown menu interface for date selection</li>
<li><strong>Resource-friendly</strong>: Built-in delay between each regeneration to prevent server overload</li>
<li><strong>Real-time Updates</strong>: Status messages show the current progress and any errors</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>In your WordPress admin panel, navigate to Tools > Selective Thumbnail Regenerator.</li>
<li>Select the year and optionally the month for which you want to regenerate thumbnails.</li>
<li>Click “Check Number of Images” to see how many images will be processed.</li>
<li>Click “Regenerate Thumbnails” to start the regeneration process.</li>
<li>Wait for the process to complete – you’ll see a progress bar and status updates.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>Error: “No images found for the selected period”</h4>
<p>This means there are no images in your media library that were uploaded during the selected year and month. Try selecting a different time period.</p>
<h4>The regeneration process is slow</h4>
<p>This is normal behavior. The plugin deliberately adds a 1-second delay between processing each image to prevent server overload. This might make the process seem slow, but it ensures stability.</p>
<h4>The process stops with an error message</h4>
<p>If you encounter an error during regeneration, check your server’s PHP error logs for more details. Common issues include memory limits, timeout settings, or file permission problems.</p>
