Dear Laborator Team, I have a question concerning Media upload. When I upload an Image, multiple copies of different sizes are being created. These copies are only shown in the ftp client. For one image, there are 14-18 different copies. Because I use a proofing tool for my clients, wordpress is creating a LOT of images. This is very problematic, because it slows the backend down massively if there are several thousand copies of images I dont need. How do I stop Kalium and Wordpress from creating all these copies? I tried changing the "add_image_size" css, but couldnt find it in style.css or functions.css. Changing the image sizes to 0 in the Media settings in the backend didn´t do anything either. Now I can´t delete thousands of images in the ftp client, every time I upload a few houndreds. Maybe you could help me with this issue? Best regards Christophe
Please check this article which explains how to disable WordPress feature to generate different sizes for your images, below you have the plugin which does the job:
Thank you for your fast reply. I installed the plugin and it did help a little. Now there are "only" 10 copies of different sizes created. Isn´t there a css code I can change or implement to prevent wordpress or kalium to create any copies of images?
Best regards
Christophe
Edit: If it helps, I have the Kalium Wedding Theme installed
That is a WordPress feature which helps reduce your bandwidth use and that is why it creates these image variants, so it does not come from the theme directly.
Regarding the CSS, this is not something that can be managed with it, CSS is only for styling fixes and issues, so the best fix that I could find was in that article which I provided.
