Image Upload, Mulitple Images Created

Hi norrisd!

The theme and WordPress create multiple thumbnail versions of your images whenever you upload an image. This is so that your users are not forced to load in full sized images just for a small thumbnail or inside of a page.

While you can remove the function, its not something I would ever suggest to do since file storage isn’t really a concern these days.

What you would need to do is remove this code from the functions.php to remove the ones the theme creates:

/*
 * Register additional image thumbnail sizes
 * Those thumbnails are generated on image upload!
 *
 * If the size of an array was changed after an image was uploaded you either need to re-upload the image
 * or use the thumbnail regeneration plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
 */

$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'=>710, 'height'=>575 );						// 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'=>710, 'height'=>270);		                 // big images for blog and page entries
$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1030, 'height'=>360 );						// images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider

//overwrite blog and fullwidth image on extra large layouts
if(avia_get_option('responsive_layout') == "responsive responsive_large")
{
	$avia_config['imgSize']['gallery'] 		 		= array('width'=>845, 'height'=>684 );					// images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)
	$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 slider
}

Most likely, as much as this isn’t the answer you would want, is that its a GoDaddy server issue. Their budget hosting is unfortunately awful and depending on when you purchased it and when it was set up it could have any number of issues causing the general “http error” when uploading a photo in WordPress.

You can try asking them how to increase your php memory limit and if its allowed through the wp config file, htaccess or php.ini and if so you can try increase it to 98 or 128m: http://www.dailyblogging.org/wordpress/increase-wordpress-memory-limit/
