Regenerate Thumbnails – All previous thumbnails are now full size, what a mess!

Did you change any thumbnail sizes in functions.php? That plugin should run through and create any new sizes that it finds. Your theme just calls the images by a name so. Is this the plugin? https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

my functions.php:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 100, false );

graphical_force, i just want to undo what i just did with RT plugin and start to tackle again why my featured images were not res-zing anymore, this plugin just made it a lot worse by making all the previous thumbnails full size too.

Is that the correct thumbnail being called on your front page?

Can you post the code from your home page? I’m guessing it may be index.php?

the thumbnails i am looking at are my blog posts in chronological view, this page:

my index.php:

<?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */

get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
            	<div class="post_date">
                    <span class="day"><?php the_time('d') ?></span><br />
                    <span class="month"><?php the_time('M') ?></span><br />
                    <span class="year"><?php the_time('Y') ?></span>
                </div>

                <div class="post_content">

                    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

                    <div class="entry">
                        <?php the_post_thumbnail('gallery-thumbnail') ?><?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
                    </div>

                <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> </p>
                <div class="read_more"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">read more</a></div>
                </div>

			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) {   ?>
        <div class="new_pagination">

        </div>
        <?php

        </div>

        <?php } ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
		<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

The post is calling ‘gallery-thumbnail’. Did you delete that or what settings are they? It looks like you are not calling the actual thumbnail.

‘gallery-thumbnail’ – does this have to match anywhere else in my templates like functions.php?

Yes. You can have several sizes of images in your functions.php file. Your theme may use different sizes in different places. All the plugin did was create the sizes that your functions.php file said to. The issue is that your home page is not calling one that exists so it is showing the full sized version.

Try replacing the_post_thumbnail(‘gallery-thumbnail’) with the_post_thumbnail()

ur a genius! that worked fine! how can i make sure that all future thumbnails/featured images are auto-resized to my thumbnail settings in Media> Settings>??

Thnaks, nearly there!

All uploaded images will be sized to the settings in your functions.php. If you change the settings in the media settings it will not resize past images. That is what a plugin like you are using is for. It will resize new ones moving forward. The issue really is what is being called in the code. If the code is not calling the thumbnail then it does not matter what you change the thumbnail setting to since you won’t see it.

Got it! Thanks a bunch, bit of a panic-mode there but such is life. Appreciated!

No problem. Good luck! ??
