Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

Some context from #core on Slack:

add_image_size() should be called on the after_setup_theme action hook. It's not clear from the inline documentation, but there's a comment on the developer hub detailing that.

Let's use this ticket to clarify the inline documentation :)

@audrasjb here we have some sample code,

<?php
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_size', 0 );

function custom_post_size() {
add_image_size( 'custom-size', 220, 180, true );
the_post_thumbnail( 'custom-size' ); 
}

@audrasjb @SergeyBiryukov

It's also not working with the code as well. We also need to find something alternative. is it possible to work it around?

This ticket was mentioned in Slack in #core by xhtmlpoint. View the logs.

Replying to arpitgshah:

@audrasjb here we have some sample code,

<?php
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_size', 0 );

function custom_post_size() {
    add_image_size( 'custom-size', 220, 180, true );
    the_post_thumbnail( 'custom-size' ); 
}

Hmmm, looking at this example, what is the purpose of the_post_thumbnail() call there? This function is used to display an image (usually) on the front-end, see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_post_thumbnail/. Calling it on init is "wrong" :)

It's also not working with the code as well. We also need to find something alternative.

As far as I understand the bug here is that when calling add_image_size() from a theme's functions.php, it has to be done on the after_setup_theme action hook. That needs to be added to the docblock there.

Is there another problem/bug?
