 * Hello there!
 * many themes and plugins are creating many image sizes
    so if a website has 600
   images with 11 size variations, we have about 11×600 = 6.600 images… i think 
   that these images are unnecessary so i removed some sizes with `remove_image_size('
   image_size_600x800' );`
 * now i have 4 variations
    thumbnail medium large full
 * but now wordpress cant find the “image_size_600x800” size, gives the “full”
    
   so i want to map the “image_size_600x800” to the “large” size
 * any idea?

 * What is possible depends on what is still causing the requests for “image_size_600x800”.
   If it is calls to `the_post_thumbnail()` or related functions that is causing
   it, you can use the ‘post_thumbnail_size’ filter to alter which size is requested.

 * i found a filter for woocommerce… can i use this for other sizes?
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'woocommerce_thumbnail', function( $size ) { 
           return 'thumbnail'; 
       } );
       ```

 * I don’t know WooCommerce very well. I’m guessing that sets the pixel size for
   the registered image size ‘woocommerce_thumbnail’. If so I don’t think it contributes
   towards your goal. I am quite possibly wrong.
