    Hello,

    We have an image heavy website we manage with over 2K images. When Enfold creates additional images, they become too many and take a lot of hosting space. What is the best way to disable Enfold autogenerated images in the future (or decide which to keep)?

    We have researched some of the previous similar issues (see the links), but after applying the code and testing, we saw no changes. For any new uploaded image, Enfold creates several and they are 17-18 again.

    Please advise.

    Here are the forum links we were referring to:

    Disabling multiple image sizes generation – is it detrimental to Enfold?

    Disable Image generation in 17 different sizes

    FYI: The website we are talking about is hosted in WP Engine.

    Thank you in advance for the assistance.

    Best Regards,
    Elefant Team

    Hey designelefant,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    After adding the code with the remove_image_size function, did you regenerate the thumbnails? Please note the function will not affect images that are already uploaded to the site. It will only work on newly uploaded images.

    You can use any of these plugins to regenerate the thumbnails.

    Make sure to create a site backup or restore point before proceeding.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hello, thank you for getting back to us.

    We did not add any code to regenerate thumbnails. However, after applying the code and testing with new image upload, we received 17 new images again, which means we couldn’t accomplish what we wanted. We are testing a few new options now. We will apply the function you suggest above and see what will happen.

    Any other advices and suggestions are welcome.

    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Please note that adding the code above and regenerating the thumbnails will not remove the old images that you want to remove, you will need to remove them via FTP or your cPanel file manager.

    Best regards,
    Mike
