Regenerate Thumbnails

Regenerate Thumbnails recreates image sizes for all existing images in your media library. When you change image size settings, switch themes, or add new custom sizes, existing images do not automatically get new thumbnails. This module processes your library to generate the new sizes. Run for all images or select specific ones. Essential after theme changes or when fixing image size inconsistencies.
