Yes, I am unable to upload anymore images on wordpress. I contacted my host, godaddy, to ask them what was up because I have unlimited storage plan. They said there are too many images in one folder (uploads/2013/12). So I checked the folder and it appears for every image I upload to the newspaper theme it creates 15 images of varying sizes. Is there a work around for this where I can put images in a daily folder so they don’t fill up my monthly folder, because I have already filled it to the max evidently and I am only half way through the month and can’t upload anymore pictures without deleting some other ones.
Interesting. My install doesn’t create that many versions. I wonder if you’re using another plugin which also creates thumbnails like another related post plugin. One way to check is look at your pages and count how many different size images are actually in use, such as home, category, sidebar, footer, related, etc.
ONE TRICK: figure out the small and medium sizes made by the theme, and then change those sizes in the media manager in wordpress which creates thumbnails, so you’re not making three extra sizes from the WP install itself … (small/medium/large).
This is an oooold issue with WP creating S/M/L thumbnails “automatically” while the theme makes sizes it needs. So, idea is to have WP auto create sizes that match what the theme is doing.
Of course, if you have 100,000 images in any folder that may be a limit imposed by hosting provider.
Not sure that helped.
Hello,
Here we have a diagram with image sizes used by the theme: http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/
All this sizes are defined in function.php http://screencast.com/t/iCTBwKdQys
If you don’t use some blocks/module on your site you can disable some cropping by commenting each line // for the image size that are not used by you.
Also like @Christopher say you can use some image sizes instead of the default WP S/M/L like here: http://screencast.com/t/auw9kLA8Y
Hope this help.
Thanks for your message
This is exactly what I was looking for.
My site currently has around 3gigs of images, so the multiple copies the Newspaper theme creates is not a good idea for my site.
If I want to quote out the sizes I am not using, is this something I can add to the child theme?
Hello,
From Child Theme no, just edit the function.php file from the Parent theme.
