Magistar

By now I tried manual deletion. So I had to sort through 10 versions of 197 files= 2000 images. Took me hours(!).

Seemed to work until I visited the media library. Apparently the wordpress back end uses the 60×60 version. So I had to re-upload that version.

Would be nice if I could just prevent the non-featured images from being generated.

Thanks for your interest!

Let’s say I have used an image of 81,2 KB in my post (440×327). Now the additional formats generated add up to 217 KB. Total size used is 299KB instead of 81,2KB. This is 369%.

Another image. This one was a screenshot about tesselation so it had to be bigger. It is 363KB for 1280×720. I scale it down on my website to 850 so it stays sharp. Now the Thumbnail generated are 719 KB. So again only 363 KB should be used but 1,05MB is used! This is 289%.

To explain myself why this is an issue:

All my images can be split into two categories.

Category 1: Featured image set at the “Featured image” option for each post.
Category 2: Images uploaded into a post that will never be featured.

Each guide I usually write has 1 featured image and 4-6 additional images. I do not need 10 different sizes for my additional images. I do need them for the featured images (so I cannot disable more).

So I am worried about two things now
1) If I delete an image using FTP will this cause errors? After all when you insert an image through the media library all types are shown in a dropdown box. Will it crash because the file was removed?
2) Is there some special way to drag them into WordPress so they DO NOT get processed? It does seem to know “uploaded to this post”.

ps I have found 5 images on one post (my latest) that were not Thumbed but I have not been able to reproduce this effect. Each time I upload and check with ftp there are versions generated.

Thanks for caring!

(ps I threw awawy the”hack”

$tempImage = get_thumbnail();
		$imageEnd = substr($tempImage['thumb'], -4);
		$tempImage = substr($tempImage['thumb'],0, -4);
		$tempImage .= "-1280x400";
		$tempImage .= $imageEnd;

		$bg_image = $tempImage;

😀 ).

My issue is two fold
1) normal way to get thumbnail to display did not work
2) cropping with “renegerate thumbnail” resulted in WRONG width in the filename

Issue2: It appeared my original files were sometimes 1100 width. When cropped to 1280 it somehow decides to keep it at 1200.

Issue1:

The Codex wax keeps returning the FULL image url.

{
			$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() ), 'sdk-featured' );
			$bg_image = $image[0];
		}

It completely ignores sdk-featured and just outputs the default image url.

I added this code in footer.php

<?php if (in_category( array(6,7,8,9 ))) { ?>
					<script src="http://static.rifthead.com/tooltips.js"></script>
					<?php } ?>

Thanks for the info.

Will try that plugin:).

(ps: I did set a password using the “security” setup from XAMPP).
