Hi,
I am using Newmag. It creates thumbnails for all the images that are uploaded inside post. I want to limit those thumbnail creation which theme creates to the feature image only. Is there a way to stop the theme from creating various thumbnail sizes for rest of images inside post, other than feature image?
WordPress creates 3 thumbs for each image uploaded, and found on the WP media settings panel. Theme doesn’t manage those.
For theme, you can disable any thumbs you don’t need from the theme panel, which are made from the featured image.
I know that wordpress handles 3 images from the “setting” area. I want to turn couple of more images sizes from the theme ‘block setting’ area but i only need it to create multiple images for ‘feature image’ of the post But not all of the images inside the post.
There should be a piece of code to deactivate from somewhere to disable this option for all the post images except the ‘feature image’.
Hi m0re,
Sorry for this but please notice that our theme does not have any such an option for this regard. You only can turn off the thumbs which you will never use in your theme from theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/FvdjaZfXQ
For example, if you do not want to use the 218*150 thumbnail, you simply turn off the option from the panel and then, the theme will do not cut your images after this size/thumb. Another option does not exist.
Thanks for your understanding!
Might not be best solution, but what we did on one website was actually upload supplemental images via FTP then only did featured image via the WP media manager.
In theory you could likely ‘hack’ the theme function with an ‘if featured image, then make thumbs’ element. Might be useful “suggestion” for future update, actually.
Yes true, please do consider it for future releases as this will let us (users) use the theme without fear of generating too many redundant images that only pile up and consume the storage. Suppose, if a post has 15 images and there are half the thumbs active from the theme option panel, the theme will create hundred of images that wouldn’t be used.
