Save only the featured Image rather than full size

  • Hi,

    I have a video blog and was wondering if there is a way to save only the featured image size rather than the full 1080p file? For every video (youtube) that I use in a post it created the full size video thumbnail at 1080p and than creates my featured image size.

    I only need my featured image size so it would be nice if I can setup so it only creates that. Is there a way to do so?

    // add Thumbnail option
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', array('post', 'svg'));
set_post_thumbnail_size(275, 154, true);

  • This functionality is not built directly into this plugin. What you can do is hook into the thumbnail retrieval and resize the image before saving it as an attachment. Then WordPress won’t scale it up.
