Hi, after creating several post templates I realised that in Media Library many copies of the same jpgs showed up. This reffers to the logo mainly. It seems that every template saves it’s own jpgs – istead of using one file in many places. Is it normal or maybe there is domething wrong? Now I have several copies of the same file in the library.
Hi,
Yes, the theme create thumbs for all images when these are add in media library.
What you can do is to use the Regenerate thumbnails and delete unused thumbnails plugin -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails-and-delete-unused/ or this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/ there are many plugins that can do this.
Or you can add only the images for featured image using the media library and the rest of them you can upload using ftp in this way it will be upload only the original size.
Thank you!
Ok thanks – it’s pitty the theme generates all those copies. None of the plugins you suggested works with current version of WordPress. Nevereless I decided to use the first one but my site crushed after this. I had a backup of course but these plugins don’t work properly. Isn’t there any other way to change it? If I create another several templates I’ll have my media library full of duplicated logos etc.
Hi,
So you can chose from theme panel the thumbs you want to be created -> https://i.imgur.com/LD8QXWM.png also the WordPress create some thumbs -> https://i.imgur.com/7SnVN9C.png also you can make a backup and go in wp-content\uploads and delete manually the images that you do not longer want; do this only after you deactivate the thumbs you no longer want to use.
Another plugin for thumbs is Thumbnail Regenerate plugin you can get it from our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ unfortunately this will not remove unused thumbs.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
