Hi,
I am using newsmag theme, and it creates image variants (thumbs) for different active modules/blocks which i have activated from “Block settings”. It should only create the variants for the feature images. However, it creates those variants for all the images that are put inside the post which causes the theme to create too many images that are never used. How can I stop it from creating thumbs/image variants for the image(s) other than the feature image? I am only interested it to create image variants for the feature image.
Hello m0re,
I suppose that you are referring to this option from here -> http://screencast.com/t/zExXYWivy, right? You should turn off all the thumbnails size which you do not use.
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have already limited my options from here. I’ve activated only 3 thumbnail sizes from the ‘Block Settings, ‘ but it creates those sizes for all the images in a post. However, it should create those 3 sizes for the feature image that are to be used in various modules. It should not create variants of any additional image/images that I upload in the post other than feature image.
For example if i upload 4 additional images other than feature image it will create useless variants of 4 images too i.e 4 (images) x 3 (thumbs) = 12 (images). This will keep increasing the folder size in an undesired way. What is the way to stop it? I hope i am a little better in explaining this time…
Hello m0re,
Please keep in mind that for each activated thumb from theme panel, the theme will prepare properly thumbs,
whether it is used as featured or not. Notice that this is the general theme behavior.
Thanks for your understanding!
