    Does this plugin not generate thumbnails for PDF files? When attempting to regenerate thumbnails for a PDF, I get the error message:
    The current image editor cannot process this file type.

    Thanks!

    Only ImageMagick can create thumbnails of PDFs, not PHP’s GD extension. WordPress will default to ImageMagick but only if it’s installed.

    You can see which image editor is in use with this plugin:

    Go to Dashboard → Health Check → “Debug information” tab → “Media handling” subsection.

    Turns out that a recent yum update borked my install of ImageMagick. I tried updating/reinstalling/uninstalling/reinstalling all the pieces, but kept running into compatibility errors. Apparently, it’s the CentOS provided version of php-pecl-imagick that was the problem. Here’s what finally did it for me:
    sudo yum --enablerepo="remi-php56" install php-pecl-imagick

    Sorry for thinking it was your plugin. It has always worked very well! 🙂
