Existing images – regenerate

Hi all!

I am a new happy user of NEWSPAPER Theme and i need your help 🙂
I’m trying to set up the theme on a existing content (in a demo server). We have thousands of images uploaded and as you understand is too difficult to regenarate all of them (Considering time need and hard disk space).
Also as i understand when i upload a new image there is no need to generate all those new images (13!) except from the featured image. Correct?

Plz let me know:
a. If i can regenerate only the featured images from the old contet
b. If i can generate images only for the featured image for the new content and not for all the other uploaded.
c. In wordpress -> Settings -> Media -> Sizes i deactivated all dimessions (S,M,L) because this is a job of Newspaper. Is this correct?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, a lot of thumbs, do we need them all?

Sotiris check this link https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/just-2-thumbnail-sizes/

Ok. I disable WordPress thumbs.
Settings–>Media and set each box for width and height to 0.

Hope it works..

I found it’s better to set the three sizes in the WP admin > media sizes to the three sizes you plan to use the most from the modules used by Newspaper.

The regenerate thumbnails plugin is not part of the theme, so likely good idea to review the documentation for that plugin before you use it; also download and backup all your images before you do anything, since you cannot “undo” using it on existing thumbnails. However it doesn’t touch your existing “main” uploaded image.

Thanks Christopher for the info, I’ll try your approach too.
I had 13 thumbs per upload and by disabling WP Media, I now have 11 thumbs.
Just two thumbs less …

Maybe, I’ll disable a few sizes from functions.php
Haven’t decided yet.
