Decrease number of images created when uploaded

By beachguy, 6 years ago. Last reply by Alex S, 6 years ago.

When I upload a featured image to a blog post that is 1200×700 in size I notice that six additional size images are created:

272×182
450×263
720×380
768×448
960×480
1080×380

I assume the Vantage theme is creating all these extra sizes because in my WordPress Media Settings I have everything set to “0”, which I understand is a fix that stops WordPress from creating lots of different size images.

So if Vantage is making these extra images, are all the different sizes absolutely necessary? The blog I’m working on will probably contain many images so having all those duplicates will start to eat up lots of space over time.

Is there something I can add or change in functions.php to address this? (I’m using the Vantage Child Theme).

Or should I change the size of the featured images I create? I’m not 100% tied to 1200×700 but I would like to stick with that general proportion if possible.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Beachguy,

    Vantage adds the following image sizes:

    vantage-thumbnail-no-sidebar
vantage-slide - used in the post loop slide template
vantage-carousel - used in the post loop carousel template and the Vantage Carousel
vantage-grid-loop - Potential blog setting, or post loop template

    The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle adds the following image sizes:

    sow-carousel-default - Used by the SiteOrigin Carousel Widget

    I would use Simple Image Sizes to manage the image sizes. Once installed, please navigate to WP AdminSettingsMedia and you’ll have more options.
