Do you mean the thumbnails ? All themes create thumbnails at different sizes for use in the layout; this is how the small images come to be when you don’t upload them.
If you’re talking about a different issue, I’ve not seen this happen on any WP theme including latest version of Newspaper on my three installs.
I think so…
Here’s a screenshot which is of some of my uploads for this month: http://take.ms/YB9b1 I upload one and between 10-15 duplicates appear in different sizes.
You’re saying this is normal? How Will this effect my site?
Yes. That is how WordPress themes work. That’s how you have all those smaller size images for your sidebar, homepage, categories, related items bottom of post, recommended fly out, etc. — where did you think all those thumbnails came from? They are created by WP and the theme when you upload an image.
If you wish to remove the sizes you don’t use — meaning, if you don’t use certain modules, you can comment out those sizes in the functions.php file, I believe, and also a trick I’ve advised the past 10 months on the forum has been to choose the three sizes in the WP settings > media setting (not theme panel), to the three sizes you use the most (matching modules you’re using), to not make extra sizes.
You can see the sizes created to match each module in the documentation, which is highly recommended to read, here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
Without any theme at all, WP will always create three additional thumbnails. With each theme, thumbs are created to match the sizes you might possibly choose to use for the specific theme layout or module.
You can search the forum for tips and help on removing image sizes you don’t use, also.
Hope that helped.
