Why is WordPress creating 16 separate images?
-
When I upload an image, WordPress is creating 16 separate images in different sizes. In Settings > Media there are 3 sizes: thumbnail, Medium, and Large. But it is creating many more. How can I modify or fix this? Thank you

I guess we’re supposed to just magically know that. I found it thank you. Ok with that search I can see that some are created by my theme, but I don’t know where to modify what images it creates.
Overall though I don’t really know how to interpret or act on the results it is showing me.Well, you asked where they’re coming from. There they are. Ask your theme developer whether they’re all necessary and whether you can easily disable any of the sizes.
You could write a quick plugin that uses remove_image_size() to remove some of them.
