                (int) $size['width'],
                (int) $size['height'],
                ! empty( $size['filesize'] ) ? esc_html( size_format( $size['filesize'] ) ) : '&ndash;'

        }
        echo '</tbody></table>';
        $missing = array_diff( array_keys( wp_get_registered_image_subsizes() ), array_keys( $sizes ) );
        if ( $missing ) {
            echo '<p class="description">Not generated: ' . esc_html( implode( ', ', $missing ) ) . ' (the original may be too small).</p>';
        }
    }, 'attachment', 'normal', 'low' );
} );
```

## Notes

Sizes registered after the image was uploaded will be missing until you regenerate it.
