too many images being saved

Posted in: Newspaper

My website is agitationrising.com. I use Hostinger as my hosting. I have 100g of disk space available through Hostinger. But 90% is being used. I’m largely tech illiterate when it comes to this stuff. The big issue I see when I look through the disk space is everytime an image is uploaded, it gets re-sized multiple times and all are then saved onto the drive taking up space. I think this is because of the settings in the Thumbs on Modules/Blocks in the block settings. I originally turned them all on so no errors would show up on the front end. But I don’t remember what the default settings are to change them back because it’s just creating too many files. I’m also using the tagdiv instagram widget. Everytime I upload something on instagram, a dozen images get saved on my website. Any help is appreciated.

Hello!

They are cropped automatically: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ ; that’s why you can disable the thumbs you are not using. Set up your thumbs from Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Block settings -> Thumbs on modules/blocks. If you deactivate a dimension from there, next time when you will upload an image, it will not be resized to that dimension.
After changing the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

A guide with the Instagram feature offered by the theme is here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/instagram-widget/

Thank you!

The problem ended up being I was saving too many backups on Hostinger’s servers. I moved them somewhere else. Problem solved.
