I have almost 27,000 files in a folder and my “unlimited” web host PowWeb is forcing me to trim it down- what can I do?
…/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/0Hey Clifford!
we can not help you much with that.
You will have to upgrade to a bigger hosting package, as you have so many image files.Regards,
BasilisHi Clifford!
Thanks for getting in touch!
27,000 file in the uploads file is a lot. Do you really need that many images on your server for your site? I would suggest backing up that folder somewhere and going through which of the files are really needed and are in use. Remove the files not needed off the server.
Let me know if there is anything else you need assistance with.
Regards,
JordanI never uploaded that many files- there are tons of duplicates and different sizes I never created. Enfold has something to do with it I am pretty sure-
CHi!
You can add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor to disable regenerating of images in different sizes
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'); remove_image_size('square'); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'ava_image_sizes', 11 );Best regards,
YigitWell now my host has deleted the contents of the directory. This blows. Looking for another host it seems most limit file count per single directory. Why does Enfold need to create extra files?? If anyone knows a host that can deal with the file numbers Enfold creates let me know.
CHi
Glad you are satisfied.
We will be happy to assist you further with it, if we canThanks a lot for your patience and time
Regards,
BasilisSG has 150K file limit per dir and said they would not delete without communicating first. I am counting on them being helpful and understanding if I ran into that situation. I feel like SG would actually try to help with the issue. Time will tell- thanks again- you guys are also awesome!
CActually appears files were not deleted yet but Masonry galleries are all broken now- can you assist?
Thx
CHi!
Well now my host has deleted the contents of the directory. This blows.
It’s possibly because of that. Could you please provide a link to the page? A screenshot will help. The theme generates thumbnails so that it doesn’t need to use the original image size for every image element on the page. It will speed up page load and in turn improve your search engine rankings.
Best regards,
IsmaelIs there any way to split the distribution of the current images on the backend so I do not have <20K files in that one directory?
Hi!
You could use a wordpress folder management plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/file-manager
Please note we haven’t tested them on our installation but i think this type of plugin could come handy for you.Best regards,
VinayWell if you test one let me know. I do not have the skills to repair things if a tool messes things up.
CHey!
The plugins may perform differently on different sites as each site share different settings and how it performs on the number of images a site has that is the reason we cannot vouch for any third party plugins.
Regards,
VinayWell, what determines when Enfold decides to start using a new folder to store images? Date uploaded? Month? Something else? If I could understand how to preventt so many files going into one folder that would bee a help.
Thanks
CHi,
WordPress does move the files to month/date folders by default, that’s set in Settings > Media, Enfold does multiple versions of the image but you can remove/change that with this code in theme / child theme functions.php
function ava_image_sizes() { add_image_size('masonry', 0, 0); add_image_size('magazine', 0, 0); add_image_size('widget', 0, 0); add_image_size('featured', 0, 0); add_image_size('featured_large', 0, 0); add_image_size('extra_large', 0, 0); add_image_size('portfolio_small', 0, 0); add_image_size('gallery', 0, 0); add_image_size('entry_with_sidebar', 0, 0); add_image_size('entry_without_sidebar', 0, 0); add_image_size('square', 0, 0); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'ava_image_sizes', 11 );Best regards,
JosueThanks Josue. Will this remove images or only affect uploads moving forward?
Also- what happens if you do not organize by date? Does everything go in one folder or unique folder for every upload?
Thanks.
Clifford1. Won’t remove anything, it will only affect new uploads.
2. Yes, the upload folder would be/wp-content/uploads/Best regards,
Josue1- I was hoping to delete media gallery by gallery but edit gallery just spins never allows edit. If the edit did show up can I delete the gallery pics there as well as from media?
2- How does Enfold decide when to start a new folder? If I create galleries on different days will that do it? Or is it by month or some other criteria?
Thx
