hi guys

I have upgrade from 4 to 6 and have run the upgrade script with no problems. Then I ran the thumbnail regeneration as instructed but as I have 9 years worth of images (around 65,000) the process generated about 50GB of newly resized images and my site fell over!

Do I really need all those different sizes? Can you advise what to do please as going back to a restore of the uploads folder prior to running the plug in means I seem to have a lot of missing images (or rather sizes).

thanks

Andrew

Hi,

I guess that you don’t use all the theme’s blocks or modules. So first please check what you use on your pages and enable thumbs only for what you need/use – http://screencast.com/t/y406KT7uEK then regenerate thumbnails. Also can do this process when the traffic is low on your site(night for example).

Thanks!
