I had an issue using WPML where some images would not return the correct size of an image, despite the image actually being there. It has been described more in detail here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/regarding-missing-thumbnails-issue/#post-5726525 and here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/correct-size-of-media-attachment-not-being-returned

I noticed the plugin author recommends using the WP Cli to regenerate images, and that’s what I initially did (3 or 4 times), however, the issue still persited. When I finally took time to try the plugin, and have it run for a whole day, the issue resolved it self.

It wonders me, shouldn’t this plugin and the WP Cli do the same thing? Apparently this plugin does something different (and better) than the WP Cli.

I’m glad to hear that Regenerate Thumbnails worked to solve your problem!

I agree that the CLI tool does essentially the same thing as this plugin, but obviously as a CLI interface rather than a UI within WP Admin. I am unsure what the underlying differences are. Sounds like the problem you experienced could be an issue in the integration of WPML and the wp media regenerate command. Perhaps it is even some functionality within WPML that is only loaded in the CLI environment? It could also be a bug in the CLI.

One thing you could potentially try is disabling WPML and seeing if the CLI tool works then?

In any case, it sounds like there isn’t an issue for us to resolve on our end, so I will mark this as resolved. Please feel free to post here if there are further issues we can help you with!

@mattiasf made a great point.
@alexsanford1, I’m curious, would you consider adding WP-CLI support for this plugin?

Hi @alexsanford1,

I believe the WPML team might have hard-coded some things into your plugin, or into WordPress itself, that doesn’t run in CLI mode (as your pointed out yourself – just the reverse).

Because running the WP CLI command didn’t work, but WPML told me to try your plugin, and then the plugin didn’t appear.

The issue was that some sizes of images in other languages was not correctly retrieved, despite the image actually existing in FTP and database.

WPML is just one great headache ??

@hubertnguyen I would use the native WP Cli method to convert images in general, as it is much faster. Simply use wp media regenerate (see more here https://developer.www.ads-software.com/cli/commands/media/regenerate/)
