Massive image versions

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, can you tell why there are so many image versions of just one picture that we upload?
There are folders for every day of the month. This causes redundancy:

mysite/wp-content/uploads/2023

568 May 8 10:24 05
633 May 8 10:20 04
19 May 8 10:19 ..
457 May 1 16:34 02
7 May 1 00:00 .
568 Apr 30 00:21 03
388 Apr 29 17:38 01

Q: Would be better if just one image (the original uploaded) gets its display dimension thru CSS, according to the format of the template it is displayed in?
Q: If we remove a post, will this image and all of its versions be deleted as well? How do we maintain this?

Thank you!

Hello!

Set up your thumbs from Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Block settings -> Thumbs on modules/blocks. If you deactivate a dimension from there, next time when you will upload an image, it will not be resized to that dimension.
After changing the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Q2: No.

Thank you!

Thanks for this, Bettina.

Additional
In order to reorganize my thumbnails to only the ones that I need with current template configuration, I
– Disabled all ‘Thumbs on modules/blocks’ settings (and saved setting).
– Browsing the pages, Newspaper signals missing thumbnail dimensions
– Enable these in the ‘Thumbs on modules/blocks’ configuration.

After this, I launched the installed ‘Regenerate Thumbnails’ plugin.
If someone of you has a procedure on how to remove images/thumbnails of non-existing post or pages, we would really appreciate your input.

Thank You!

Hello!

Try to do this with the help of a plugin, for example: media cleaner plugin.

Thank you!
