Regenerate Thumbnails doesn't work

[TomPuja]

Hi All!

 

I am running a web-shop with a default theme. After a while I decided to have a greater magnifier. Therefore went to BO at Preferences>Images and changed thick-box default from 600x600 to 1000x1500 to have it bigger and, obviously, regenerated thumbnails to fit the new measurements.

 

The new products with new pictures that I added after this change appear as they should. However, older products that have been in the shop already doesn't show up in correct size...

 

Could you please help?

 

Example:

 

This one is maximized correctly: https://norwayshop.com/en/arctic-circle/243-arctic-circle-hunter-unisex-sweater.html

 

Whereas, this one is not: https://norwayshop.com/en/arctic-circle/242-arctic-circle-ice-sweater.html

 

Thank you!

Once you change the picture size, it will regenerate all the pictures within that group. In order for it to display correctly, all your images must fit that new size. 

 

When you added the old photos in, it automatically re-sized to fit the previous size you had. When you edit this products pictures, https://norwayshop.com/en/arctic-circle/242-arctic-circle-ice-sweater.html and re import the pictures. Does it show up correctly?

Hi!

 

Before the change with pixels the pictures were showing on 600x600 thickbox "correctly" (stretched) even though they were 300x451...

 

Now, when I re-uploaded the same 300x451 picture on this product https://norwayshop.com/en/arctic-circle/242-arctic-circle-ice-sweater.html it shows "correctly" (stretched) - the way I expected on the moment I decided to go for 1000x1500 and planned to change pictures gradually later on...

 

Is there a way to have them stretched into 1000x1500 without re-uploading one by one?

The problem is that when you first uploaded the picture, it was resized accordingly. When you changed it again, the pictures won't automatically resize because the original picture you uploaded was already resized.

 

The pictures need to be reuploaded when this happens because the source image is already at it's max, as defined by your previous Image pixel setting.

 

The fastest way would be to either use a CSV file to import the pictures again, or use a import module.

Thank you very much!

 

I opt to do it manually. Just needed a confirmation there is no a shortcut

I recently upgraded my shop to 1.5.6.0 from 1.5.4.1 and am running the Autumn theme. I have copied all of the contents of the /img/ folder to the new install along with the old database and modules and everything else is running perfectly. Upon completion of the theme installation I changed the images sizes and names to match that of the specifications of the documentations and tried several times to regenerate images.

 

Problem is that some of the images did not load and I got an error after waiting a while for the images to regenerate. So I followed some advice of posts prior saying to regenerate the images size by size. This helped some as a bit more of the images loaded. I also changed the permissions on the /img/ folder and all sub folders to 777 then tried to regenerate again but the same two sizes won't regenerate which are large_default and thickbox_default.

 

I don't know what else to do can someone help please. My shop is www.maftrade.com

 

Thanks
