Prevent to create Thumbnail except feature image

Hi JP,

You could use a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fly-dynamic-image-resizer/ to not have WordPress generate those thumbnails for anything else but the recipe images.

Hi @brechtvds

Thank you for your reply.

I checked fly dynamic image resizer plugin. But this plugin does not fullfill my queries.

I request you can you repeat read my queries. I have to restrict to create WP Recipe 3 sized Thumbnail for post images except Post Features Image.

Waiting for solutions.

Thank you

I did read your question. How does that plugin not fulfil your needs?

With that plugin activated we do not automatically generate those 3 thumbnails for any image. It only gets automatically generated for the recipe images. Which seems to be what you’re looking for?

SEO purposes this plugin provide to create 3 different size images. But I only features image 3 different size image generate its sufficient for SEO purposes.

But this plugin create 3 different size images for all uploaded images. Thats is really annoying and fill disk space.

I need to solutions to keep create 3 different size images only for post features image. And prevent to create 3 different size images for other images in a post (for example recipes step by step images).

Hope you clear now.
Thank you

Yes I understand and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you install this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fly-dynamic-image-resizer/

No bro, That plugin are dynamically created when the image is called. First time when any image size request its will take time to create. I do not want this solution.

I need to keep save different size images when upload images. But features images keep to create all 3 sizes. While other images in post prevent to create it.

To make it simplyfy.

It will only take a little bit longer the very first time. Just open the image once yourself if you want to prevent 1 page load from being a little bit slower for your visitors.

Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t really have a better solution.

Not satisfied with your reply ??

3 different size images create functionality provide in Plugin but does not have a option to prevent as per we want? Is it not ok

Your team must have to provide a workaround solutions. Because It is bigger disk size issue.

Thank you for quick response. But please share any solution.

I’m afraid that’s the way WordPress works. If you want to have a specific image size you have to register that as a new thumbnail size, which our plugin does.

Unfortunately WordPress does not offer further options to only generate those thumbnails for certain images only. That’s not really our fault.

We do have a solution and I’ve offered it. With https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fly-dynamic-image-resizer/ it won’t generate those thumbnails for all images and only for the recipe image. I really don’t understand your issue with this plugin. You won’t even notice the difference.

I’m also just a solo developer, to be clear.

First and most important I respect you.

But as per last message first paragraph completely unrelated to this topic. Because One side you say, you completely understand and another side you say “If you want to have a specific image size you have to register that as a new thumbnail size, which our plugin does.”

Let me clear first I don’t want any specific size images. I again try to simply explain you. Please involved your other member for better understanding.

WPRM is auto creating 3 thumbnails:
wprm-metadata-1_1 (Additional, 500×500 pixel, crop)
wprm-metadata-4_3 (Additional, 500×375 pixel, crop)
wprm-metadata-16_9 (Additional, 480×270 pixel, crop)

1). We want to keep creating Above 3 thumbnail for features image.
2). We dont want to keep creating above 3 thumbnail for other images in Post.

Everything is possible now. I trust you.
Thanks

You do not need to simplify things for me. I am the one who built and coded 100% of this plugin. I know very well what you’re referring to and this plugin is definitely the solution you’re looking for:

There is no other solution and I don’t understand what your issue is with the solution I’m offering. It will NOT slow things down on your website but rather prevent those 3 thumbnail sizes from being created for all images, which is exactly what you’re looking for.

Just to be clear: I specifically included an integration for that Fly Dynamic Image Resizer plugin to solve this problem. It won’t affect other image thumbnails on your website.

This is the solution I built in because there is no other decent option.

Your suggested solutions to use fly dynamic resize take time for creating thumbnail. Its not a feasible solution.

Anyway I have to find solutions my self. Thank you.

One last thing these 3 thumbnail size Google suggested for SEO? Do you have any link where is details?

It only has to generate that thumbnail once. So it really does NOT slow things down. I’ve looked at other solutions and this really is the best option at the moment.

Here is where you can confirm Google wants to see those ratios:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/recipe

Ok

So at the moment I should keep features images and WP recipe main image all size thumbnail. Other images in post I remove all 3 thumbnails. I think it will not hurt SEO. Because in schema images only need WP recipe main show feature image.

Is this ok?
