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

Hi, just a heads up for anyone wanting to remove the automatically images, Enfold creates 3 extra image sizes in another file for it’s woocommerce template.
So beside the ones given above by igorvavrik, add these as well:

	remove_image_size('shop_thumbnail');
	remove_image_size('shop_catalog');
	remove_image_size('shop_single');

So my function looks like this:

//Disable loads of Enfold image sizes upon upload (to save space)

add_action('init', 'remove_enfold_image_sizes');

function remove_enfold_image_sizes() {
	remove_image_size('square');
	remove_image_size('featured');
	remove_image_size('featured_large');
	remove_image_size('portfolio');
	remove_image_size('portfolio_small');
	remove_image_size('gallery');
	remove_image_size('magazine');
	remove_image_size('masonry');
	remove_image_size('entry_without_sidebar');
	remove_image_size('entry_with_sidebar');
	remove_image_size('shop_thumbnail');
	remove_image_size('shop_catalog');
	remove_image_size('shop_single');
}

Cheers

Hi, I am new to Enfold, and am setting up a photography website, and I have the same problem: the website is super slow.
If I use medium size images, the Thumbnails in Lightroom are blurred, so at the moment I use 1500 x 1000, and have deactivated WordPress compression.
I see that Enfold is still generating a huge amount of other sizes, but I can’t find the function.php to add this code.
Can someone help lease?

Hi Victoria, thank you very much for those links, I actually know most of that.
I have found a workaround in the meantime, installing a plugin that deletes all unnecessary rendered Images, and that has cut page loading by half. I will provide my login anyway, and maybe you have some tips on how I can still increase page loading? It still counts as a slow site .
Thanks!
Jess

HI Victoria, they are fine, as I had to upload them in a bigger size. in 800x800px, the big files look good, but the small previews not (found this solution in the forum). Obviously, this slows down my website though. I have installes super cache and removed all unused rendered image sizes. Is there any more I can do?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Enfold is generating 20 images for every image uploaded.

I found my website is running really slowly so decided to go through my media library as when I first started I added images that weren’t optimised. So i have been going through them all to reduce their size in hopes of speeding up my site. Whilst doing this I noticed that the lightbox view of my images is not nearly as clear or sharp as the images uploaded.

I found information about changing image sizes under settings> media and then increasing px size. This lead me to look at my ftp uploads folder to see what sizes were in there which is how I noticed each image has 20 generated copies at different sizes. That adds up to 1GB of images even though most of the original images are 100KB or there abouts. Surely this is slowing my site down dramatically?

How do I go through the uploaded ftp files to work out which are being used? I will delete any that aren’t being used but I have no idea how to tell which are important and which aren’t? I haven’t changed the any of the media image size settings to try and improve the lightbox view as I am worried doing so will generate even more images and slow my site down even more.

I am also using woo commerce which I am guessing is responsible for a few of the extra sizes. Please help!!!!
