Hi
I’m exceding my hosting quota because I’ve uploaded a lot of images to my hosting.
As far as I know Newspaper theme converts every uploaded image to several images with different dimensions. Right?
Well, I think that’s right for featured images in order to show them properly in any block but not for every image. Around 90% of them are just for my posts.
So my question is:
Could I refresh my media content in order to get hosted only sized images except for featured images?
Excuse me for my bad english.
I hope you can understand me.
Thank you
Result (for example):
The only solution that works across all themes, is to simply use the FTP method for common images, and then use the media manager only for the ‘featured’ image for a story.
Hi Edward
Thank you SOOOOO much for your answer.
I didn’t know that alternative way to upload images and obviously that’s the best way (and the cleanest)
You saved my life!!
Lotsa thanks!
@JA – thanks to Chris S for this! 😉
What you can do, and what is commonly done in WordPress news portals, is upload images via FTP into an /images/ folder, and then put the explicit URL for the image in the HTML of the article, and don’t use the media manager except for the featured image.
Note that WP makes images from anything added to the media manager, per the default sizes shown on the settings > media page for *all* themes, defaulting to those most commonly used by the default blog themes included with WP.
So, *all* themes follow this behavior by adding additional add image classes to fit theme layouts, and for this theme they can be disabled based on the theme panel.
The only solution that works across all themes, is to simply use the FTP method for common images, and then use the media manager only for the ‘featured’ image for a story.
Anyway, that’s how we’ve done it the past 12 years on our news portals.
and I’m *still* doing this 😉
