How Do I Regenerate WooCommerce Thumbnails?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:36 am

Are you having issues with your WooCommerce thumbnails? If so, don’t worry, as this is a very common problem that can easily be fixed.

In most cases, all you need to do is regenerate your thumbnails. This can be done using a plugin or by manually regenerating them yourself.

There are two methods that can be used to regenerate WooCommerce thumbnails:

1. Using a plugin
2. Manually regenerating them

Using a Plugin:

The easiest way to regenerate your WooCommerce thumbnails is by using a plugin. There are many different plugins available that can help you with this task. Some of the most popular plugins are:

– Regenerate Thumbnails
– WP Smush
– EWWW Image Optimizer
– Imsanity

To use one of these plugins, simply install and activate it on your WordPress site. Once activated, the plugin will automatically start regenerating your thumbnails.

This process may take some time, depending on how many images you have on your site. Once the process is complete, your thumbnails should be fixed.

Manually Regenerating Thumbnails:

If you don’t want to use a plugin, you can also manually regenerate your WooCommerce thumbnails. To do this, you will need to access your WordPress site’s files via FTP.

Once you have accessed your files, go to the /wp-content/uploads/ folder. Inside this folder, you will see a folder for each year and month in which you have uploaded images. For example, if you have uploaded images in March of 2016, there will be a folder called /2016/03/.

Inside of each monthly folder, you will see all of the images that have been uploaded during that month. Find the image that you want to regenerate the thumbnail for and delete it.

Once the image has been deleted, upload the image again and it should automatically generate a new thumbnail. You can repeat this process for each image that you want to regenerate the thumbnail for.

Once you have regenerated all of the necessary thumbnails, check your website to see if the issue has been fixed. In most cases, Regenerating your WooCommerce thumbnails will fix the issue entirely. However, if the issue is still not fixed, there are a few other things that you can try:

– Deactivate and reactive all plugins – sometimes an issue with one plugin can cause problems with others

– Switch to a default WordPress theme – This will rule out any theme-specific issues

– Contact your host – There may be an issue with your hosting account that is causing problems with your WooCommerce thumbnails
