Multiple files when uploading an image

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,
I am having a problem when I am uploading an image.
I have switched off the selector for the sizes I am not using, but it is generating 12 images per image uploaded.
They are so much files and it is occupying all the space.
There is any solution or some method in order to not creating so much image clippings?

Many thanks,

Hi,

In addition to the WordPress created thumbnails, the theme will also create thumbnails when you upload images. These thumbnails will be used for theme elements like blocks and grids. You can disable the sizes you do not use if necessary

Then they will not be created anymore by the theme from the moment you disable the thumbs sizes.
Leave only the sizes you use if you want to display thumbnails on the theme elements used.

Plugins or other implementations could also create thumbnails, check what sizes those images are and compare with the theme sizes.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer.
In this case we are using diferent kind of modules so we need all the clippings we have active. So, could we disable any kind of thumbnails and make a module use another one in order to do not generate them?
If I disable some of them now we see the default thumbnail with the size instead of the image.

Kind regards,

Hi,

You could use the same blocks or modules, to reduce the number of thumbnails that are created. Each module is predefined to show a specific thumb size, this could only be changed in the code.
However it is not recommended to do so, this will affect the module design and cause layout issues. Here you can see which modules each block and grid use

Thanks
