Changing Image Sizes: And regeneration

So I cant change the image sizes. Not sure if this issue is WP standard or SG Optimizer… or I just dont understand

I have iPhone images. 4×3

In the “Media Gallery” or just the image size selector when in the content…

Default it sets Med to 300×225. Large is 980×735

For me, one is too small. the other too large

So I want 600×450

I change that in the standard WordPress Medium settings section. It now says 600 and 450 for medium.

I regen’d all

Back to “Add Media” pane or inserting.. still shows Medium at 300x 225

Very frustrating. Can someone help me understand?

Seems nothing I do can get me an image that is 600×450

Marking as resolved. But for those who are confused by this.

Challenge: I wanted to change size of Medium Image. I chose to use that as my in-content size (some posts I had to edit after all this was done)

Changed the WordPress value: Under Settings | Media

This will NOT change your existing images. SG Optimizer will not do it.

Downloaded free plugin: Regenerate Thumbnails. I chose the setting to blow out my unlinked images. I checked manually and did have a couple busted articles. I simply brought up the little image editor, changed the size from med, to something else, and then back.. and it worked.

So now I have resized images.

NOW I ran the SG Optimizer “Existing Images Optimization” to generate even smaller default images.

Then I ran “Generate WebP Copies of New Images” and creatd the webp versions

Use this at your own risk!
