 * Hi,
 * One thing that we were really needing is a plugin that compresses generated thumbnails.
   The TinyPNG plugin does that, but I’d like to use you guys if that’s possible.
   Does your plugin offer this capability? I’m using the free version now and it
   doesn’t appear to be possible.
 * Kind Regards.
    Mike

 * Hi [@mikequery](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikequery/),
 * WP Smush compresses all the registered image sizes(Thumbnail, Large, Medium Or
   if any other ), which thumbnails you are having issue with?

 * Hi, thanks for the reply. They’re the ones generated by my theme, I don’t believe
   they are standard WordPress sizes. For example, latest posts small, latest posts
   large, portfolio 3 column, 4 column, etc.
 * I understand these are not standard thumbnail sizes and probably not guaranteed
   to be supported by plugins such as yours but bringing it up in hopes that there’s
   a way to do it. I mentioned the TinyPNG plugin since they showed it was doable(
   of course I have no idea how hard it would be to pull it off, since I’m not a
   developer). With that plugin, they have a checkbox list of all the thumbnail 
   sizes, and you can select which it will compress.
 * Thanks!

 * Even if they are not standard WordPress size but are you using, [add_image_size()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/)
   function to register them?
 * That way all the custom size are listed with default WordPress sizes, and they’ll
   be smushed.

 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure, it’s a purchased theme (called Avada) and I’m not savvy enough 
   to tell (unless you could tell me where in the code to look?). Is there a way
   to check the thumbnails in WordPress somewhere to see if they’ve been smushed?

 * We are adding a easy way to check that, currently, you’ve to go to db and check
   that, which could be not very simple, so wait for the release, it’s coming up
   soon.
 * Will keep you updated.
