Why does wordpress do this?

  • if i upload a single image via the add media feature via the browser. then i go to wp-content/uploads/ that one image is in the folder 6 different times. the only difference is that they are names differently with different file size names.

    How do i stop this from happening when I upload images into a wordpress theme?

    i understand why, but how do i turn it off?…

    Thanks,

  • Go to dashboad, settings, media and set the sizes there to 0.

    Then when you add a image to a post you will have only one choice, the original size, and that should be the only one saved.

    it still ads all the various sizes images….i set all the images sizes to 0 in media settings. anything else i can try?

    i mean it like it adds 14 images of the same image in different sizes…really not something i want.

    anyone know how to stop this?

    By default, WP only creates 3 additional images, so the other 11 must be generated by your theme and/or one of your plugins.
