Hi,
currently i’m using v4 newspaper,
I read instructions to upgrade to v6 (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ ) but I saw that the images have different format from v4 to v6.
As I have over 2000 images, think is right and healthy to regenerate the thumbs in the follow way?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
or perhaps you need to regenerate the images only coming from another theme
and between v4 and v6 you do not have to do anything to the pictures?
thanks
I have 13,000 images and …. – any ideas ??
regenerate thumbnails works well for me …
we had a site with 10,000+ images (launched in Dec 2005 on WordPress), and the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin worked well.
We also used Auto Post Thumbnail PRO for the ooooold content first time to get a featured image and/or default featured image for really old stuff with TINY images.
Make sure you up your base memory limit in the wp-config.php file (WP defaults to 40MB, but really needs 128 or 256 these days), and make sure you backup your old image folder if you want to keep a safe copy of that (which, ahem, you should be doing periodically anyway).
If you want to do best practice:
a) check the sizes of the new layout and “know” which sizes you plan to use for your modules
b) change the 3 small/medium/large sizes in the WP media settings to match 3 most common; but make sure large is not larger than size files you plan to upload
c) look in the NEW theme panel at the modules image sizes control, and turn OFF the sizes you don’t plan to use (note possible need for the preview image in search box!)
d) regenerate thumbnails
make some coffee while that’s running. 🙂
Should work marvelously!
I have about 98.000 images in a database of 140.000 posts.
I haven’t attempted anything yet, I am just crossing my fingers….
@Bintmusic Regenerato thumbnails works very well 😀
@szysz If you are in shared hosting maybe you cant regenerate more than 10K images because it takes a hugh load of CPU. But you can download and install your site on your PC, install regenerate thumbnails, regenerate all thumbs and then upload all the content and Base data to your website.
