woocommerce generates thumbnails for everything
3 replies · Started by Halil on March 13, 2022
Hi,
I've noticed that after installing woocommerce, 2 additional thumbails were added for every image in media library! I delibaretely disabled many thumbnail sizes and I wasnt expecting such behaviour. Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? I've changed setting in customizer to 0 for main image/thumbnail width, also chose "uncropped". I have no idea if these settings have anything to do with thumbnails.
Hi there,
Woocommerce doesn't document it - but I do believe that Setting those sizes to 0 should remove the image.
If not then you can try adding this snippet to remove the sizes that woo generates:
function sr_remove_woocommerce_image_sizes() {
// Remove woocommerce copied sizes from default
remove_image_size( 'woocommerce_thumbnail' );
remove_image_size( 'woocommerce_single' );
remove_image_size( 'woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'sr_remove_woocommerce_image_sizes', 99 ); Code found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63643876
Note the comment, it won't remove existing images but will stop new ones being generated.
thanks a lot David,
if I knew that woo behaviour I wouldnt install it at all.
You're welcome
