Hi @juanwp22
I hope you’re well today!
In general, such resizing only applies to “original size” images – not to all the additional sizes/thumbnails that WP generates and it would only resize images that are bigger than set sizes, not touching smaller ones.
But that only means that if you have a huge image which is not the “original, full size” image but one of the additional sizes, that wouldn’t be resized.
That being said, that’s a general response only. In your case I understand that those images are already uploaded as WebP to the site. Resizing (of “original, full size images”) is only a part of the “Bulk Smush” option and WebP images are not handled by such optimization – it won’t help here, I’m afraid.
Manually, you can resize (or rather scale) those images directly in media editor in Media Library but with that many images it would be a lot of work as they’d need to be scaled one by one.
As an alternative, this free plugin may be of help:
You can set maximum size (smaller images will not be enlarge) and either bulk-resize them all or resize only selected ones (but no need to do this one-by-one).
Note: I would strongly recommend NOT enabling the “Delete original” option as if anything goes wrong, you wouldn’t be able to restore images.
Best regards,
Adam
Thank you very much for the answer I will analyze the option you recommended.
