Dear Enfold support,
My situation is that the site after some time has a content of more than 400 Mb which makes it hard with the existing plugins to back it up continuously. From what I’ve seen, there are so many files created automatically for each image upload, increasing the size exponentially. For one image I see 15 files with different sizes, another PNG file is shown with 20 files of different sizes. The original is 1.2 Mb and I get a total of 7.8 Mb.
The problem is that I cannot remove them from FTP, as I am not aware which is in use and which not. I am not aware of any existing plugin that can check the files in use and remove the rest. Maybe you can give me a tip on that? I would greatly appreciate it.In addition, for future versions of Enfold, it would be nice to have the option of checking which of the resizing thumbnails the user would prefer to have for the site. For example, I’m not using widget, square, portfolio, gallery, masonry and some others. Currently I have to disable them from functions.php, I would have to manually do that every time I upgrade the theme version. Through the theme’s settings it would be better and would stick even for future upgrades.
Thank you
Hey alvimita!
Enfold, like most themes these days, creates a number of thumbnail images to be used for the various theme features to speed up your site on page loads so that users aren’t loading in the full size image for every single image implementation.
Enfold has 12 thumbs that it creates and then WordPress has 2 additional ones it creates by default. Other plugins users have installed could also add even more image sizes.
You can use the following plugins for image handling

VinayHello Vinay,
Thank you for your prompt reply on my inquiry. I appreciate it.
I have seen some of the plugins related to managing the media content, however with some skepticism as I would need time to run them in dev mode of the total website, just to see if they really take care ONLY of those images not used/linked.
Regarding my request for adding the feature to disable several sizes of thumbnails, maybe this will be taken into account for future releases.
Thank you again for your time and support.
Cheers
