   Great tip, i would just like to mention, that for many usages it might be better to simply do this via CSS filter, e.g.
   img.bw {
   filter: grayscale(1);
   }
   you can even e.g. show b/w by default and color on hover, or you can do animation from greyscale to full color and back, e.g.
   img.bw {
   filter: grayscale(0);
   }

   img.bw.grey {
   filter: grayscale(1);
   transition-property: filter;
   transition-duration: 1s;
   }

   i also do not think, that wp_generate_attachment_metadata filter is the proper one, that should be used because of its calling in meta creation not only image creation and making second image manipulation, but the proper solution would be much longer, so i understand why it is done this way

   It works nice but when uploading, WP 4.3 throws error in media library.
   i think have applied all fixes written in comments, but still error.

   my code looks like this:

   add_filter(‘wp_generate_attachment_metadata’,’themename_bw_filter’);
   function themename_bw_filter($meta) {
   $time = substr( $meta[‘file’], 0, 7); // <- get the correct time of the upload
   $file = wp_upload_dir( $time ); // <- locates the correct upload directory
   $file = trailingslashit($file[‘path’]).$meta['sizes']['slide-pic']['file'];
   if( $file ) {
   list($orig_w, $orig_h, $orig_type) = @getimagesize($file);
   }
   $image = wp_load_image($file);
   imagefilter($image, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
   switch ($orig_type) {
   case IMAGETYPE_GIF:
   imagegif( $image, $file );
   break;
   case IMAGETYPE_PNG:
   imagepng( $image, $file );
   break;
   case IMAGETYPE_JPEG:
   imagejpeg( $image, $file );
   break;
   }
   return $meta;
   }

   Will this change all pictures in word press to grayscale or only newly updates ones?

   I know I’m a bit late to the discussion, but I just had the same problem with an error (that others report):

   imagefilter() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given

   This happens when you try to upload image through media modal while editing a post, older than the current month which apparently confuses WordPress which directory the original image is in and which directory it should save the grayscaled image in.

   This is the solution:

   
<?php
add_filter('wp_generate_attachment_metadata','themename_bw_filter');
function themename_bw_filter($meta) {
$time = substr( $meta['file'], 0, 7); // <- get the correct time of the upload
$file = wp_upload_dir( $time ); // <- locates the correct upload directory
$file = trailingslashit($file['path']).$meta['sizes']['themename-bw-image']['file'];
list($orig_w, $orig_h, $orig_type) = @getimagesize($file);
$image = wp_load_image($file);
imagefilter($image, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
switch ($orig_type) {
case IMAGETYPE_GIF:
imagegif( $image, $file );
break;
case IMAGETYPE_PNG:
imagepng( $image, $file );
break;
case IMAGETYPE_JPEG:
imagejpeg( $image, $file );
break;
}
return $meta;
}

   One addition: I’ve added a few lines to get around the issue of having two images with the same file name, caused by having two add_image_size calls with the same size. The additional code was found here:

     @geertvdheide

     If you wanted to add multiple size support, try what I use:

     if ( function_exists( ‘add_theme_support’ ) ){

     add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

     set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true );

     add_image_size( ‘medium-thumb’, 660, ”, true );

     add_image_size( ‘large-thumb’, 960, ”, true );

     add_image_size( ‘small-thumb’, 100, ”, true );

     }

     (The height is not defined, only the width.)

     you would have to add the different names to make the function apply to them all:

     [‘medium-thumb’ , ‘large-thumb’ , ‘small-thumb’] in the filter code.

     Calling the thumbnail in your theme is the same listed in the article:

     Excellent idea, almost 10 years later this is still handy.

   Thanks for sharing this code! Except I’m running into a weird issue when trying to implement it. It’s related to the uploaded image’s size (pixel size, meaning its dimensions). Copied the code literally to my theme’s functions.php, and it works a charm with images larger than the size specified in the add_image_size call. But when using an image smaller than or equal to the size specified, the uploader in WordPress gives me errors and doesn’t process the image size (either from the media section of the admin environment, or from a specific post or page). The error:

   Warning: imagefilter() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given.

   Ssome other stuff in the error as well, but this seems to be the main cause. The image data given to the imagefilter function must not be valid or doesn’t exist?

   Any idea what’s causing this? The only real difference between my situation and a clean install is that I’ve also added a few other add_image_size calls for other purposes in my site. I’m also adding the same size twice (one black/white, one regular), but that doesn’t seem to be a problem with the larger images.

     @GEERTVDHEIDE

     and for others that need this:

     When the script is converting the image to greyscale and the file uploaded does not fit the file size, this causes the script to break. To prevent this, simply add a quick if() conditional to make sure you have the $file.

     $file = trailingslashit($file[‘path’]).$meta[‘sizes’][‘themename-bw-image’][‘file’];
     if( $file ) {
     list($orig_w, $orig_h, $orig_type) = @getimagesize($file);
     ——– remainder of code until ——–
     return $meta;
     }

     This will check to make sure the file size you have requested exists before it tries to convert it.

     Hope that helps!

    Note that people should change “themename” to be the name of their theme instead.
