“-scaled.jpg” innecesary sufix and added 2 image sizes

    I have hundreds of images and since the update of WordPress 5.3 I added 3 additional image sizes that I consider unnecessary, one of them creates a copy of the larger image with the suffix “-scaled.jpg” and two others.

    1536×1536: 1536×1536 pixels (proportionally resized to fit inside dimensions)
    2048×2048: 2048×2048 pixels (proportionally resized to fit inside dimensions)

    Currently there is a temporary solution adding this line in the functions.php

    add_filter( ‘big_image_size_threshold’, ‘__return_false’ );

    (and regenerating the images again) but we need to remove this wordpress function that creates more image sizes we do not need and adds weight to the web page

    The scaled image is only added if the image exceeds the size threshhold, which means it is bigger than 2560 pixels on a side. These extremely large images get scaled down to be smaller.

    This is described in more detail here: https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2019/10/09/introducing-handling-of-big-images-in-wordpress-5-3/

    If you want to disable big image handling, then you have posted the correct filter to use already. There is also a plugin specifically for this purpose: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-big-image-threshold/

    After testing is seems the filter only fixes the scaled image creation.
    add_filter( ‘big_image_size_threshold’, ‘__return_false’ );

    I also needed to unset the 2x medium-large and 2x large sizes to prevent them from being created.

    function filter_image_sizes( $sizes) {
	unset( $sizes['1536x1536']); // disable 2x medium-large size
	unset( $sizes['2048x2048']); // disable 2x large size
	return $sizes;
}
add_filter('intermediate_image_sizes_advanced', 'filter_image_sizes');
