If you’re encountering issues with incorrectly sized images in your blog posts or custom post types, you’re not alone. This problem often arises when you’ve made changes to your site’s theme, altered image dimensions in the media settings, or migrated your site. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward solution that can save you from manually resizing and re-uploading images.

Why Do Images Appear the Wrong Size?

When you upload images to your WordPress site, it generates multiple versions of each image in different sizes, based on your theme’s specifications and the settings in your WordPress dashboard. If these settings change after the images have been uploaded, the existing images won’t automatically adjust to the new sizes, leading to issues such as stretched, cropped, or incorrectly displayed images.

The Solution: reGenerate Thumbnails Plugin

To address this issue, we highly recommend installing the reGenerate Thumbnails plugin. This handy tool allows you to regenerate thumbnail sizes for all images in your media library, ensuring they align with the current settings and theme requirements.

Steps to Install and Use Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin:

1.Install the Plugin:

Go to your WordPress dashboard.

Navigate to Plugins > Add New.

In the search bar, type “Regenerate Thumbnails”.

Locate the plugin developed by Alex Mills and click Install Now.

Once installed, click Activate.

2.Run the Plugin:

After activation, go to Tools > Regenerate Thumbnails.

Here, you’ll see an option to regenerate thumbnails for all images in your media library.

Click the Regenerate Thumbnails for All Attachments button.

The process might take some time depending on the number of images in your library.

3.Verify the Results:

Once the regeneration process is complete, visit your blog posts and custom post types to check if the images are now displaying correctly. They should now fit perfectly with your theme’s design and the specified dimensions.
