oldrichH	Tell us, what are you trying to do? I've changed the size settings and the total set of generated thumbnails for the existing template. Is there any documentation that you are following? https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/remove_image_size/ https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/ Is there a similar example we could see? hidden link - requested images does not exist anymore (they are loaded from CDN cache) hidden link - original language is updated OR hidden link What is the link to your site arc.cz Simple. The entries for the duplicated media for translation in the postmeta table have not been updated by the wp CLI process wp media regenerate. I have no idea how to update these records for existing image sizes. The question can only be answered by someone who is familiar with WP database architecture and WPML. The problem does not need to be replicated, it is a general question on how to proceed in the situation. I don't need to use WP CLI but I need to solve the situation and update image size information in copied and translated media meta data. I need to be sure that already translated meta data will stay untouched. I am asking a second time because the previous answer was not a solution at all.

oldrichH	Is the option "Clear Media Cache" tool in WPML the possible solution? This clears cached translated media files and forces WPML to freshly duplicate them. I hope all metadata translations will stay in database.

oldrichH	Clear Media Cache tool seems to be no longer available in WPML. Based on the suggestion of Shekhar Bhandari I reinitiated WPML Media Translation using START button again. There were only few images images fixed, but this function didn't update saved media metadata thumbnail sizes stored in postmeta table. When I search: SELECT * FROM `arc2018`.`wpweb_postmeta` WHERE (CONVERT(`meta_id` USING utf8) LIKE '%00002-detail_map_of_tynska_street-417x589.jpg%' OR CONVERT(`post_id` USING utf8) LIKE '%00002-detail_map_of_tynska_street-417x589.jpg%' OR CONVERT(`meta_key` USING utf8) LIKE '%00002-detail_map_of_tynska_street-417x589.jpg%' OR CONVERT(`meta_value` USING utf8) LIKE '%00002-detail_map_of_tynska_street-417x589.jpg%') I will get 5 wrong records, one for each language. WPML is not able to manage its own records in the database...

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, I do sadly not see any example at the moment. Did you solve the issue already? I do so far see the identical image sources and sizes here: hidden link hidden link You can sync the media library at WPML > Settings > Media Translation > Start. Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/#id5 If this will not solve the issue, then the right way to solve the issue would be by applying the translations again. Anything apart would be custom work and this is not covered by our support policy. https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/ Best regards Andreas

oldrichH	Hello Andres, you don't see missing images at link hidden link or hidden link ? Probably I have broken computer and my client too. I preformed some analytical SQL queries and there are over 31000 duplicates with completely wrong image sizes... There is nothing about updating image sizes in WPML media duplicates which are managed by WPML in your guide. If this is not implemented at all, please ask developers for an SQL query to update duplicated metadata from originals.

oldrichH	I made a complex SQL query to fix this problem by single click. I like to apply for a job, contact me at norbou.com 🙂

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, The sync setting is not at WPML > Media. As I said earlier, it is at You can sync the media library at WPML > Settings > Media Translation > Start. Guide and Screenshot: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/#id5 Best regards Andreas

oldrichH	Hello, I would like to say to all audience, that I have tested suggested solution: sync the media library at WPML > Settings > Media Translation > Start ...before creating this ticket. It does not work and I see in the database that wrong media sizes stay in duplicated records after completing this "sync". It only creates new duplicates which are missing but without any update function. I thing this is uncovered situation by WPML management.
