I was seeing weirdness sort of like this, where the images were not all the right size – turns out that I did not have the php-gd library installed, so the thumbnails were not getting created at all – might check to see if this is the case for you as well?

I ran into this problem as well, although for me the problem was not fixed by regenerating the thumbnails.

Turns out it was because the php-gd library was not installed, so the thumbnails were not getting generated either on upload, or on regerate thumbnails. Oddly enough through, neither one actually gives an error, it all appears to be successful.

I really appreciate how your theme warns for other things that need to be addressed, like setting the max posts to 9, needing to have the Options plugin installed, etc – if possible, it might make sense to have a check for the php-gd plugin being installed.

Thanks for the great Theme!

I second this! However I do wonder if this is more of a WordPress problem than a Regenerate Thumbnails problem, as without the library, thumbnails are not generated on upload, and no error is given then either.

Are the thumbnails actually getting generated (in the same directory as the original image is uploaded to)? For me they were not, turned out to be that I did not have php-gd installed, which is a library that WordPress uses to do image processing.

I had this same problem – for me it turned out to be that I did not have the php-gd library installed. Once I installed this, the regenerate thumbnails took much longer, and actually worked.

I have a feeling that this is a WordPress problem, not a Regenerate Thumbnails problem, since there is no error on the initial upload either…
