Disable Media Sizes

Beskrivning

Easily disable any extra image sizes

This plugin provides options to disable the extra images generated by WordPress.

Options include

  • Disable Thumbnail Size

  • Disable Large Size
  • Disable Medium Large (768px)
  • Disable 1536×1536 Size
  • Disable 2048×2048 Size

The plugin settings screen does a good job of explaining the different image sizes. Should all be self-explanatory, let me know if anything can be improved.

Features

  • Lightweight and secure
  • Built with the WP API and standards
  • Simple to use – anyone can do it
  • Easy peasy.

Still getting extra images?

If you are noticing extra images that cannot be disabled by the plugin, most likely they are being generated by some other plugin or maybe your theme. In that case, you would need to do some investigating to determine which plugin or theme is causing it to happen. This plugin disables only the image/sizes that WordPress creates by default. So any extra image sizes added by other plugins and themes will need to be disabled in some other way. If in doubt, ask your plugin or theme provider. They will know the best steps.

Uninstalling

To uninstall/remove the plugin, visit the Plugins screen, deactivate and delete the plugin. All plugin options will be removed from the database when the plugin is removed via the Plugins screen. Also, the plugin does not remove any existing images at any time. So it is safe to delete the plugin, it never touches any images.

All I want to do is link to the original high-resolution image I uploaded. I don’t know why it requires a plugin to do that easily. But if it does require a plugin, it should be a plugin like this: simple, easy to set up, and with just enough options to be useful. I installed it, set it up, and stopped thinking about it, which makes it perfect.

I don’t know why the settings of this plugin are not obligatory for Wordpress – so I’m much more happy about this tiny plugin! It does the job and that’s great!
