# Cross-Plugin Conflict

 * First-off, I use and love your cross-compatible WP Image Tools, and thank you
   for providing them:
    * ShortPixel Image Optimizer (with subscription) + reGenerate
   Thumbnails Advanced + Enable Media Replace
 * Now for the Bug (or “feature request” if you prefer):
    — The “Regenerate Thumbnails
   Advanced” plugin undoes the “Resize large images” resizing of “full” images that“
   ShortPixel Image Optimizer” originally reduced —
 * EXAMPLE:
    a) upload a HUGE image, wait for “ShortPixel Image Optimizer” to compress
   and resize it to the “Resize large images” settings b) go to any “Set featured
   image” dropdown in [Edit] page/post & confirm the “full” size matches the “Resize
   large images” settings c) run [Regenerate] in the “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced”
   plugin d) go to any “Set featured image” dropdown in [Edit] page/post & observe
   the “full” size is now reset back to the original HUGE size
 * SAD STORY:
    As it is now, I upload an image and get all the unwanted Theme sizes,
   then I have to get rid of them by running [Regenerate] in the “Regenerate Thumbnails
   Advanced” plugin, only to have the modified “full” image upsized back to its 
   original HUGE size. So I have to choose either too many image sizes with a downsized“
   full” image, or less sizes with a HUGE “full” image. NOTE: yes, I have de-selected
   the unwanted image sizes in “ShortPixel Image Optimizer” but that just prevents
   them from being compressed, and they still get added to the thumbnail options
   dropdown, even though I told “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” that I don’t want
   them
 * POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
    Good = Add a matching “Resize large images” feature to the“
   Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” plugin Better = The “Good” solution above with
   cross-compatibilty that matches the “Resize large images” settings in both plugins
   when you [Submit] them in either plugin Best = All of the above + IF an image
   size is de-selected in both plugins THEN they are neither compressed nor generated
   at all upon upload (they don’t show-up in the thumnail dropdown selectors)
 * Anything you can do to solve this cross-plugin conflict will be greatly appreciated.

 * Thanks [@wealthgizmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wealthgizmo/) for sharing
   with us this use-case. Indeed Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced is using the backup
   of the image, in order to ensure that it doesn’t generate thumbnails from already
   compressed images only to compress them again afterwards. But we didn’t think
   of this use-case.
    We will check how we can apply one of the proposed solutions
   to the Regenerate Thumbanils Advanced plugin.
