Image sizes created

[this_is_gav]

Hi, having come from another theme to Dante, I’ve got eleven million sizes of each image (may be a slight exaggeration.

I’ve got the following image sizes for every image:

94×70
96×72
150×128
220×150
250×250
350×262
600×450
800×600
900×675
1024×768
1200×630
1280×720
1280×960

I don’t know if this is carrying over from the previous theme, but this is rather excessive (each image uploaded is converted to 13 other sizes), making, for example a 244kb image take up an additional 1.2mb as well as the original image.

I know some of these sizes are necessary, but why are there so many other sizes, and is it possible to reduce the number?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

This does not happen for us, it must be something else you have installed. Check your plugins, maybe it’s one of them.

Hi,
These size of images are from previous theme because we did not created these sizes for dante theme . Dante create images on the fly .

I’d just like to reopen this, as I’ve decided to restart my site from scratch, and this is still happening.

To test this, I’ve made a brand new, pure WordPress install. No plugins, only installed Dante and the child theme and enabled permalinks.

I’ve added 2 photos to the “Hello world!” post to test it, and I’ve got the original 2 photos (beach-clean-up-1.jpg and beach-clean-up-2.jpg), but I’ve also got 10 different sizes of each image (see the attachment).

I assumed it was one of my plugins, but I couldn’t narrow it down – that’s not a surprise when it’s clearly the theme itself which is generating them.

Hey, that’s strange, as in functions.php the image sizes created are only the eight following

	/* THUMBNAIL SIZES
	================================================== */  	
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 220, 150, true);
	add_image_size( 'widget-image', 94, 70, true);
	add_image_size( 'thumb-square', 250, 250, true);
	add_image_size( 'thumb-image', 600, 450, true);
	add_image_size( 'thumb-image-twocol', 900, 675, true);
	add_image_size( 'thumb-image-onecol', 1800, 1200, true);
	add_image_size( 'blog-image', 1280, 9999);
	add_image_size( 'full-width-image-gallery', 1280, 720, true);

so the 1024 size for example is not part of the theme’s code. Maybe it’s wordpress’ core image sizes then.

Cheers
