### About this Plugin

Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to regenerate all thumbnail sizes for one or more images that have been uploaded to your Media Library.

### Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin regenerates image thumbnails via AJAX/REST API calls, which require a live WordPress backend. The thumbnail regeneration process cannot work on a static site as it needs PHP to process images and update the media library. Consider running thumbnail regeneration before static generation, or use a different approach for image optimization.
