How to add "Regenerate Thumbnails" plugin action to MLA interface ?

Thank you for your question. My search of the WordPress repository turned up several “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugins, and the answer would be different for each one. I am guessing you mean:

Regenerate Thumbnails version 2.2.6 by Alex Mills (Viper007Bond). Is that the plugin you are using?

It may be possible to use the hooks MLA provides to add the regenerate links to the Media/Assistant screen, but this depends entirely on how the other plugin works. If you can confirm my guess or tell me which plugin you are using I can investigate further. Thanks for your interest in MLA.

Thank for your answer, David. And sorry for my vagueness. Your guess is correct : “Regenerate Thumbnails” version 2.2.6 by Alex Mills (Viper007Bond).

Thanks for confirming my guess. I am out of town until Thursday night; I will continue my investigations when I return. I appreciate your patience while I’m on the road.

I have developed an example plugin that adds the Regenerate Thumbnails actions to the Media/Assistant item-level rollover actions and to the Bulk Actions dropdown controls. When any of the new actions is invoked the Regenerate Thumbnails screen is displayed and the action is executed. When the action completes you can click the link on that screen to return to the Media/Assistant submenu screen.

I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20160913 that contains the example plugin. To get the Development Version, follow the instructions in this earlier topic:

Shortcode not working in (special) widget

After you install the Development Version you can easily install the example plugin. Navigate to the Settings/Media library Assistant Documentation tab and click the “Example Plugins” button. You will see a new submenu that lists all the example plugins and give you a “one-click” action for installing them.

You are looking for “MLA Regenerate Thumbnails Example” plugin. Find that plugin and hover over the title in the left-most column. Click the “Install” rollover action, then go to the Plugins/Installed Plugins submenu and activate it.

Once the plugin is active the actions are added; there is no other user interface for the example plugin.

The Development Version also has a completely re-written Settings/Media Library Assistant Shortcodes tab with a more WordPress-like interface. I welcome any feedback you have on the new implementation.

I hope this works for your application. If you have problems or further questions, post an update here and I will help you get the results you need.

Thank you, David. I will try it.

I have released MLA version 2.40, which includes the “MLA Regenerate Thumbnails Example” plugin.

I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the example plugin.

Thank you, David. Indeed, consider the problem as solved.
