Works for me (PRO)
By lausianne on April 4, 2024
Fortunately I got the pro version in my Shortpixel subscription. I have not compared it with the free versrion. But pro has been working very well for me. Also, support has been friendly, quick and helpful.
complete disaster

It was a normal and useful plugin. Now it is completely useless. Hopefully I had a backup and kept the old version 2.4.1 that works.
Paid plugin now don't bother

After the last update, looks like the greedy bastards took away some of most needed features and now you have to pay for it. Plenty of other plugins that do this for free. WTF is Shortpixel thinking?
Used to be a good plugin

So all of the sudden they converted the plugin to premium and claim "You will find exciting features in the PRO version".
Well, there is nothing new, there are all the typical features converted to PRO version.
I would really consider buy the PRO version if you added some PRO features in addition to the already free features, but convert the existing features and renaming them as "PRO" is sad.
They have torpedoed this plugin
By whistlerdan on March 2, 2024
I'm a paid Shortpixel subscriber for their image optimization plugin. The regenerate thumbnail plugin was a useful companion plugin, but now they have removed many basic features from the free version and moved them into a "Pro" version for $50/year. I'm sorry, but this is a joke! What were they thinking? I get that there are development costs, but surely this plugin was always just a way to gather customers for the paid image optimization plugins?
Why would I pay this when other plugins do the same things for free?
I feel like, at a minimum, there should have been some combined license so that people who are already paying Shortpixel can still get these features. What attracted me to Shortpixel and caused me to leave Imagify was the ecosystem of useful plugins. Image optimizer, thumbnail regenerate, replace media, etc. Everything played nicely together. Now I'll lose that. Annoying users who never paid them is one thing, but it seems short-sighted to annoy users who are already paying them. It doesn't make me excited to keep paying them.
Should I expect them to start charging for Enable Replace Media plugin soon, too?
Extremely frustrated.
Was a good plugin, disappointed.

They moved some basic and needed functions to the Paid Zone now.
Now it has been transformed into a paid plugin.

They ruined the plugin by offering the same thing it did before but now they are paid options.
The funniest thing is that supposedly in their changelog they "offer new exciting features", of course that is a lie.
Maybe go back to the previous version or uninstall the plugin, probably the second option.
Works fine

Very useful
Doesn't work, don't waste your time...

This plugin pretends like it works, it even pretends showing you the process of your images being resized, and then it shows a success message where they promote their paid service, which is obviously the goal of this plugin.
None of my images were actually resized. I will restore a backup now because who knows - a broken plugin like this may have messed up some things behind the scenes.
I also tested the plugin 'Regenerate Thumbnails By Alex Mills (Viper007Bond)', and that one works perfectly. So you can safely use that instead.
Worked to fix my broken thumbnails
By Tecca on November 12, 2023
Awesome plugin. All I needed was to fix my broken thumbnails from a veeery old website that I've since transferred to a new server/domain.
For some reason, the medium sized thumbnails were completely missing, and although all the full-sized images were there, the site's media looked broken due to having non-existent thumbnails
I added a custom thumbnail size in the plugin based off what I was seeing in the Chrome inspector for the missing images, 780x572, and ran the regenerator. All of the images are now fixed. I believe the size is "approximate" based off how WordPress crops, so not all of the broken nor regenerated images were actually that specific size; the general dimension I put in seemed to fix almost all of the thumbnails. I input another dimension to fix the rest.
Saved me tons of time trying to find a workaround for this, thanks!
