    Hi @all,

    if I upload an image called image.jpg this one is stored i.e. in wp-content/uploads/2016. Virtue – WordPress thumbnails are disabled – will generate corresponding thumbnails i.e. named image-150x150.jpg, image-300x300.jpg, and image-1024x1024.jpg in the same directory.

    Is it possible to store the additional image sizes generated in a subdirectory, such as wp-content/uploads/2016/thumbs?

    Hello Kamath,

    I’m not sure I’m understanding what you’re trying to do, but the theme developer will know if that’s possible when he sees this thread. He should be on by the end of the day.

    Thanks for your patience,

    Hi Kevin,

    thanks for your answer.
    The “original” image image.jpg is stored in wp-content/uploads/2016 by default using WordPress´ uploader.
    All generated thumbnails – image-150x150.jpg, image-300x300.jpg and image-1024x1024.jpg shall be stored in wp-content/uploads/2016/thumbs.

    For example using a ftp-client you can differ between orignal image and thumbnail, just because there are stored in different folders.

    Hey,
    You would have to edit the core way wordpress builds cropped and resized images. This is’t something the theme would control. I’m not aware of anyone doing/wanting to do this. But I can tell you from a theme side that I think this would break a lot of differnet things and would be a bit of a nightmare to try and do.

    Hi Ben,

    thanks for your answer. I assumed that my project is easy to implement.
    Background: So far I have used Nextgen Gallery. There, thumbnails are created in a subfolder thumbs. But now I have discovered the beauty of Virtue gallery and I want to take this. What struck me in the FTP-view the folder structure due to the numerous thumbnails is pretty confusing. But maybe I have to live with it…

    Becuase the theme hooks into the WordPress structure and pulls images through the WordPress structure thats where creating a subfolder for images would get tricky, you would have to change how WordPress works at the core.

    Thanks for your explanation. This sounds really complicated…
