How to expose only specific sizes?

    When I want to show a specific image size in de Image Block, I can only select the ‘default’ WordPress image sizes and not a specific one that I’ve added.

    When using the option ‘filter and expose the image sizes available for the attachment display settings in the media dialog (any registered available size, even when there is no explicit filter applied)’ then ALL image sizes will be shown, but I only want specific image sizes to be shown. How can I make that possible?

    I found out how it works. There are two options:

    • Set at least one size to ‘global ignore’
    • Set at least one size to ‘unavailable’

    When you do one of the two things listed above, all the other sizes will be selectable in the dropdowns for selecting image sizes. Note: still only sizes that are available for the specific image are selectable.

    Now I’ve got multiple questions:

    • Wouldn’t it be easier to add a checkbox where people can select which sizes will be shown? This is how it’s done in Simple Image Sizes and is, in my opinion, a lot more logical.
    • What is the difference between ‘hide’ and ‘unavailable’ for a specific size? And why does the showing of image sizes only works when you set at least one size to ‘unavailable’ and not when you set at least one size to ‘hide’?

    Hi,

    The short answer to your latest questions:

    • Q: Wouldn’t it be easier to add a checkbox where people can select which sizes will be shown?
      A: Not needed, the “unavailable” is the option you can use to make the sub-size “unavailable” in the image block resolution dropdown
    • Q: What is the difference between ‘hide’ and ‘unavailable’ for a specific size?
      A: The “hide” option hides the sub-size from the details lightbox, and the “unavailable” from the resolution dropdown.

    Hope this is helpful.
