    Hi, for older posts, the featured images gets resized to 120×120.

    My question is, is there a url for this resized image? are these different sizes stored in the database (as I am unable to find the resized images in the media library)?

    If I were to delete the original featured images from media library, will it also fully delete all these 120×120 images – like maybe in the database?

    My main concern is to restrict unwanted image storage in wordpress media.

    Thank you!

    that’s the one million question when handling theme thumbnail, each theme had their own add_image_size() set.

    my guess is your previous theme use or set the ‘thumbnail’ image to 120×120, which is good but more and more social media like fb or twitter accept an image arg around 250×250 for the share post to work properly.

    the mesocolumn theme use image arg of 300×300 for thumbnail.
    add_image_size( ‘thumbnail’, 300, 300, true);

    i would suggest use thumbnail rebuild wp plugin but wouldn’t recon if you have more than 1000+ post with small 120×120 thumbnail that need to rebuild to larger version.

    Thanks Richie.

    But do you know where I can find all these different sizes images (300×300 and 120×120)?

    Because they are not in my media library. Are they stored in the database?

    resized image won’t show in media library.
    if you check your images wp-content/uploads folder, you’ll find a group of image like this as example.

    – image.png (original upload)
    – image-120×120.png *this is thumbnail
    – image-300×300.png *this is medium
    – image-600×480.png *this is large
