Hello 🙂
If I download the images with same filename from the server, they are identical and same size.
Very strange. Typically they are created in a different sizes. Could you tell what is the path to the folder where you see those copies? Is it wp-content/uploads/apollo13_images or /wp-content/uploads/2019/…
With kind regards.

Hi.
Thank you a lot for the response. Yes I also find it a bit strange.So this time about the same thing happens, not so fast and there is slight differences. Its a totally new site, only with WP, Rife and Elementor pagebuilder. The folder is the default folder, wp-content/uploads/apolli13_images
I see now that the number of copies rices fastest for those images that are both used inside a gallery and as it’s selected image. I will upload a image to show what I mean. The Nature16 image is used in a gallery, as selected for that gallery and in a 2x thumbnail in the gallery list. As you can see it is now present 10 times, most in same kb. The original image is the 44 kb. and is present 5 times. It is 600 X 339 px. The 41 kb. image is 600 X 337 px. and the 50 kb. version is 600 X 600 kb.
It seems like the amount of copies slowly increases. The old site was about 1 month old and during that time all images counted 20+
It all might be intended, but I can’t really see why. Especially not regarding the images who are exact the same size, both in kb and px. In the start I thought that it was about changing design regarding mouse over effects, but the gradient I guess will be added in ccs and not overwriting the picture?
Well here is the image: https://faelles.net/test/rife-files.png
Thank you.
PS.
Sorry, I actually made a mistake above. The original Nature 16 image is only 32 kb. 600 X 339 px. This looks like Rife changes it already as uploaded? Only the copy in the WordPress upload folder is 32 kb – all 10 copies in the Apollo folder is bigger.
Hello 🙂
Each time you will change settings for bricks album where this image is used, new size will be generated. So if you tweaked settings few times in the same album it will create few sizes.
Images here are scaled from the original uploaded image and their size depends on settings set for bricks album/ albums list/ works list. Settings that are taken into account are:
– Bricks columns
– Max width of bricks content
– Brick margin
– Brick proportion
Now, why old size isn’t deleted after theme/album settings are changed? Because it is not possible to know if this old size isn’t used anywhere else.
After you are done with all changes you can purge wp-content/uploads/apollo13_images
and only needed sizes will be used.
PS. If you imported a demo, and the specific image is used in a few albums, but with different settings in each, few sizes will be created of this image as you view all those albums.
With kind regards.
