Image sizes generated by Chaplin (and how to disable some)

    Hello.

    Looking at wp-content I see 7 images sizes in addition to the standard WordPress generated ones.

    Am I safe to assume that these are generated by Chaplin, and does anyone know if there is a documentation that explains where the different sizes fit?

    I might not need all of them so I’m also interested in how to disable the ones that are unnecessary.

    Asking as I intend to keep the overall size of the site to a minimum.

    Hi @thorirv,

    Chaplin includes four different image sizes:

    • Post thumbnail: Used on single posts and pages
    • Preview image (low resolution): Used on archive pages if the theme is set to use low resolution images in the Customizer
    • Preview image (high resolution): Used on archive pages if the theme is set to use high resolution images
    • Full screen: Used on the cover template

    I believe there are plugins that allow you to disable and/or modify image sizes registered by themes and plugins, but I don’t have one to recommend of the top of my head.

    Hi @anlino, and thanks for reply.


    From your functions.php I read these widths: 1120, 2240 (low_res_images; else); 540, 1080 (chaplin preview low and high); and 1980 (chaplin_fullscreen).

    In my upload folder, after turning off the WordPress generated sizes (thumbnail, medium, large), I see all of these except 1120, plus three—to me unexplained—sizes: 768, 1536 and 2048.

    Finding it odd, but suspect this is WordPress and not theme related and not asking you (@anlino) to solve the mystery ??

    @thorirv Yeah, WordPress has some built-in image sizes that are generated regardless of the theme.
