Hi,
I have a substantial amount of images that I have published on my site, of which, there are a large portion that I need to replace. I can see that the Newspaper theme is creating ( 10 ) alternative images. I would like to replace each image without going through the process of deleting in WordPress, then uploading again. Can you please provide feedback on the following:
1. Is there a strategy for doing this where the replacement image can be uploaded in place of the current image and the Newspaper theme recreates those ( 10 ) alternative images?
or
2. I found the Enable Media Replace plugin, which allows the replacement of the current image, but I am not sure how the Newspaper theme would handle the recreation of those ( 10 ) alternative images. Here is the plugin link:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think you are referring to the feature image thumb .
The theme make a thumb for each thumb module/block you have activate in theme panel.
Please read about this here: -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Once that you change the feature image and you update that post all thumbs that are enable in theme panel will be generate automatic.
If you want just to Fix strange looking images on blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
In order to remove the thumbs that are no more use, you can use a plugin like Force Regenerate Thumbnails
Force Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to delete all old images size and REALLY regenerate the thumbnails for your image attachments.
Hope this will help you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
Thanks for providing me with this information, it does help in understanding the process, but the images that I am referring to are not the “Featured” images. I should have given you more precise details.
I have multiple posts that operate as guides, where I have 10’s of images in the post content, or even 100+ images in the post content. In the past, if I needed to update one or all of the images, I would start by deleting the image in the Media Library, then adding the image from the post content. I would do this to ensure that all the other ( 10 ) alternative images are being created.
#1: I hope this makes more sense as to my problem, I am looking for a way to replace the images in the post content, without having to delete them from the post, just to ensure that the thumbnails are being recreated when I upload the updated image.
#2: After reading the answer, just to be clear about the need for the ( 10 )
alternative thumbnails, they serve the purpose of readjusting to the theme when it is resized or in a mobile format?
#3: For the Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin, and I noticed that the plugin that I suggested, they also have a software that regenerates thumbnails, reGenerate Thumbnails Advanced, do these plugins work with the current procedure embedded in the Newspaper theme? If I use one of these plugins, I would like to not create duplicate images or thumbnails, apart from the procedure already used by the Newspaper theme.
I appreciate the help that have been given.

Hi,
So if I understand correctly you only one to make sure that all image you have in posts have all thumbs that you have enable in theme panel.
If you have some image that need to be recreated and delete the the old version of them you can use Force Regenerate Thumbnails , if you only want to make sure that all thumbs are in good conditions use Regenerate Thumbnails.
Also every time when you add a new image in posts and you update or public the posts all enable thumbs size will be create.
Thank you.
