I am buidling websites for photographers, so with a lot of uploaded photos/ Mostly these photos are all 1:1 or 2:3 ratios.
Building such a website with Enfold results in a lot of unnecessary files in the form of unnecessary thumbnail dimensions, adding a lot of extra size in MB’s or even GB’s to a website. Not very good for making backups or using shared hosrting with restrictions.
I have read some more topics about this issue here on the Enfold forum and I know now that Enfold is creating 12 extra thumbnail sizes, next to the 3 default WordPress thumbnail sizes and next to the original uploaded image. A total of 16 files for just one image..!
Looking in the functions.php file I noticed these specific Enfold thumbnail sizes:
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘widget’] = array(‘width’=>36, ‘height’=>36); // small preview pics eg sidebar news
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘square’] = array(‘width’=>180, ‘height’=>180); // small image for blogs
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘featured’] = array(‘width’=>1500, ‘height’=>430 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘featured_large’] = array(‘width’=>1500, ‘height’=>630 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘extra_large’] = array(‘width’=>1500, ‘height’=>1500 , ‘crop’ => false); // images for fullscrren slider
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘portfolio’] = array(‘width’=>495, ‘height’=>400 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘portfolio_small’] = array(‘width’=>260, ‘height’=>185 ); // images for portfolio 4 columns
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘gallery’] = array(‘width’=>845, ‘height’=>684 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘magazine’] = array(‘width’=>710, ‘height’=>375 ); // images for magazines
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘masonry’] = array(‘width’=>705, ‘height’=>705 , ‘crop’ => false); // images for fullscreen masonry
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘entry_with_sidebar’] = array(‘width’=>845, ‘height’=>321); // big images for blog and page entries
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘entry_without_sidebar’]= array(‘width’=>1210, ‘height’=>423 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize sliderFrom this list I want to exclude all of them except 180×180, 36×36 and 768×512.
If I understand things correctly from the other topics about this subject, then I can add some code to my functions.php file (in my child theme of course) to exclude these thumbnails from being created when I upload new images in the future. After adding the code I have to use a plugin to generate my thumbnails again.
Is that the correct workflow? And of course, what code do I have to ad in functions.php?
Thanks very much :)

Hey Alwin,
Please have a look at the following thread:
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaI already read that topic, and others, but still don’t know how to proceed.
– I want to delete all the thumbnails sizes I don’t use
– I prefer not to use a plugin for that but add code to my functions.php file so I can store that file in my child theme
(Because i don’t qnt the thumbnails to be added again when there is a Enfold theme update)So do I have to add this code to my functions.php?
function ava_image_sizes() {
remove_image_size(‘masonry’);
remove_image_size(‘magazine’);
remove_image_size(‘widget’);
remove_image_size(‘featured’);
remove_image_size(‘featured_large’);
remove_image_size(‘extra_large’);
remove_image_size(‘portfolio_small’);
remove_image_size(‘gallery’);
remove_image_size(‘entry_with_sidebar’);
remove_image_size(‘entry_without_sidebar’);
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘ava_image_sizes’, 11 );And if my functions.php is in my child theme, then these thumbnail sizes will not be created again after an Enfold theme update?
Last step is to use a plugin (just once) to remove the unwanted thumbnails that are already created yet?
