Number of Thumbs; A simple solution but you don't fix it

Hi,
I have gone through number of threads about number of thumbs being created by NewsMag and Newspaper theme and everywhere the staff member tells that to turn off the thumbs from the block setting area. Well this is one solution but even if i have turned on 5 thumb sizes the theme will create 5 variants of each image. The situation gets worse when i have multiple images in my post. Theme will create 5 thumbs for each image in the post. If i upload 10 images in my post for some reason, it will create 50 thumbs. Is it a good solution???? can’t you people just put a code or restrict theme from making/generating thumbnails for the images inside post but the feature image? Why the theme generates all these thumbs for images other than the “feature” image of the post? What is the use? I think a little fixing of code will resolve the problem.

Hello,
And only if we allow the feature image to create multiple thumbnails and stop the other images in the post to create further thumbnails. What small piece of code we will need to apply?

You can disable three of the images create by WordPress by going to admin > media > and then setting all the sizes to ‘0’ … these three sizes made by WP, not the theme.

@ Catalin – Is correct Chris S affirmation?:

You can disable three of the images create by WordPress by going to admin > media > and then setting all the sizes to ‘0’ … these three sizes made by WP, not the theme.

1. So, if I set from Settings -> Media all to 0 (zero) this will not create extra thumbnails?
2. And when create posts with Newspaper the theme have his builtin cropping feature?
