Too many images generated

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, my site (in a nice dedicated server) is suffering a lot of down these days.
Hosting staff says that the problem is that images folders have too many files and so seems correct: the april upload folder contain 6000+ images (almost all are duplicates of the original uploads images, with different size).

How I can fix the problem?
There is a way to do not generate thumbnails that I don’t need (if Any)?
I found this plugin, can help for the future? https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-upload-dir/

Thank you

Hello Reyad,

Unfortunately, your suggested plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the behaviour of the theme with this type of plugin. You can try this and see how it works for you but please notice that we cannot provide support for untested plugins. As a quick workaround, you can disable your unused thumbs from Theme panel to avoid the generating images for these thumbs. Also, occasionally you can use the Force Regenerate plugin because it will clear all your unused images for your website. You can check this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-manage-growing-image-library-and-file-size-on-disk/ for more information about this case.

Thank you for your understanding!
