Seems to be a dead plugin

By mmk175 on May 16, 2024

No replies to support queries for over a year so it seems like a dead plugin. hopefully you backup your site before trying this.

This should be in Core

By Jasper • I Make Webshops (studiotwee) on March 8, 2024

This is a great plugin, easy to use and it should be in Core in some way or form. It's ridiculous that Woo does automatic thumbnail regeneration, but WP Core doesn't. Thanks for this.

Best option if looking for Regenerate Thumbnails

By spulut (spult) on April 30, 2022

It did what Regenerate Thumbnails can't.

Has this plugin been abandoned?

By 802jan on November 3, 2021

Wordfence is giving 'abandoned' warnings since there have been no updates in three years. Excellent plugin though.

So nice

By Wabbitt83 on March 12, 2021

Nice plugin, very useful, efficiency top. Make it automatic for every new photo or drawing in medias, it will be giant !!! ;)

Only one that worked in my situation

By digitalrenewal on September 9, 2019

My site has 7600 images, no other regeneration plugin would come close to finishing the process. This did the trick! Even though it hasn't been tested with the latest three updates of WordPress, it ran perfectly fine. I hope the developer keeps this one alive. It saved me! No other plugin would work in this situation. Word of caution as stated in the description. Do not close the window, or allow your computer to hibernate. If you have a lot of images, leave the window open, turn off sleep mode in your control panel settings and play movies so images dont burn into your screen. Thank you so much! I can't stand bloat on my server. This really did its job. and it was a big job.

Great Light Plugin

By esmodev on March 25, 2019

This plugin works great, big thanks to the developer.

Perfect

By Maxime_13 on February 8, 2019

Very useful, works perfectly with WordPress 5.0.3. A big thanks to the devs :)

Great!

By BeeTeam368 (beeteam368) on August 23, 2018

A great plugin. Look at it from a developer perspective. Would be foolish if for this plugin a low rating!
