As suggested, I’ve installed the plugin for Thumbnails Regeneration, it doesn’t work for me:
“Screen-Shot-2014-10-08-at-8.13.37-AM-e1412770509220” (ID 173059) failed to resize. The error message was: The originally uploaded image file cannot be found at /var/www/clients/client1/web14/web/foto/2014/10/Screen-Shot-2014-10-08-at-8.13.37-AM-e1412770509220.png
Any suggestion?
Make sure the images are actually there? If you paste the image link into a browser does the image come up? Obviously it cannot create thumbnails from images which are linked to from your posts, but are not on the server.
You obviously also want to disable any caching or systems like mod_pagespeed before doing the regen, in case there is some system in place loading cached images in your posts.
Hope that helped!
What if we have a lot of images? It’s really really slow, is there any alternative?
Hi,
In order to use the theme you need to regenerate the thumbs for the images and when you have so may images it supposed to take some time to generate all thumbs, unfortunately I can’t see any other solution for this, we recommend though to move your site locally then use the plugins regenerate the thumbs then upload the thumbs folder via FTP.
Hope this helps!
Thanks

This is a downside of WordPress. WordPress should not generate thumbs for formats unused.
My personal workaround is using a script to delete all custom formats (based on the 745×483 extention). You can do this on Linux (vps) or download them all and then use run a Windows .bat file like this:
del *-150x*.jpg
del *-160x*.jpg
del *-240x*.jpg
After that you can re-upload the files that were left “alive”. For me this reduces my storage used by about 70%. This is usefull if you keep daily, weekly and monthly backups of your website.
Now the issue: You will have to regenarate thumbnails for ONLY the featured images. So far I have not found a plugin that can do this AND respects the latest WordPress top,center commands. So I end up manually regenerating the images assigned to each post from the media library. So this can take a few hours.
hi lucian, I have the same question re 17 thumbnails, it is hard to believe that WP needs to create all of these. In my previous theme, WP did not create that many thumbs. How can we stop WP from creating all these thumbs which shoot disc usage through the roof? Thanks
Hi,
When you add an image WordPress automatically creates a thumb for each module the theme uses so, besides WordPress’s, we have added new image sizes in functions file: http://screencast.com/t/4XZAbtTQ1 in total creating all 17 thumbs are created which the theme needs and are used on modules/blocks and slides.
You can see here the thumbs usage on module/blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/ and the one you don’t use and therefore you don’t need you can remove from the theme’s functions file by commenting the add_image_siez() function.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!
Theme doesn’t take resized images that we made with Regen Thumbnails, and i cannot understand why…
on our test site was working fine
new.rnbjunk.com
on the main site launched online it doesn’t take the resized images… but the folders and files are the same…
http://www.rnbjunk.com
Please, we need urgent help because we are already online
Hi,
Make sure to have the GD library installed and also that you have writing permissions on /wp-content/uploads and also check your /uploads folder and see if the thumbs are created.
Thanks
Also check your server has image magick setup and configured; it’s what WP now uses as “default” image processing module.
We made the checks on our server side, Imag Magick is setted, also GD library, still having issues with thumbs, especially on the big slider
Hi,
I checked your site and I see you are using a CDN: http://screencast.com/t/g0yuenRS2DC
Please purge all files(from your CDN settings area), clear the cache and check if the issue is still there.
Another issue may be related to the original image size – http://screencast.com/t/ekEj0UFe
It’s width is smaller than the container and wordpress doesn’t upscale the images. For upscale use a combination of plugins Thumbnail Upscale + Force Regenerate.
Thanks!
