I know this theme regenerate a lot of image size for every block style but for other than featured image, it cause a ton of unused images in website.
My site collect over 60 – 100 images per post so increase inodes to limit faster, I use other ways to reduce number of crop size
• DNUI plugin – I used 2 month ago, good plug-in to remove unused image without update 2 years. but now it cause problem to database and slow my website to crash.
• Image cleanup plugin – can’t remove because image “ref” to theme (see first image above)
• Free Host for Pic – Good choice but not answers.
Question
1. Possible regenerate size only feature image or not regenerate all images and use other plug-in create thumbnail instead ?
2. Is some plugin can regenerate thumbnail images (not featured) from upload file via FTP ? (prevent regenerate size by theme)
3. some plugin can remove unused image (except DNUI and image cleanup) ?
I think you can remove unwanted/un-used thumbnail sizes by editing functions.php
One trick is to regenerate thumbs with small/medium/large set to the sizes you want in theme to avoid duplicates.
One plugin can regenerate thumbs from first image in post, when files are uploaded via FTP, which is what we do on most of our sites. I’ve recommended it a few times and I should be getting a kick back for how many people have bought it by now 🙂
auto-post-thumbnail-pro
available cheap on envato/themeforest.
Worth a try.
