In reply to Vanani. I'm using Astra Pro, I set these values to 0 but it's still generated multiple images in the server.

In reply to MyThemeShop Team. Thank you very much for your response i really appreciate it. Is there any way I can prevent new photos from becoming smaller? I don't want all my photos future pics to be small or it defeats the purpose of having the new theme. There has to be a way for future pics being uploaded but i will find one just to fix this issue. Thanks again

Hello Jas,

Thank you for leaving a comment, and we are glad you found the article helpful.

Unfortunately, there is no way to revert unless you have a backup of your website.

Or, you can ask the developer of your theme for the PHP code that you need to add to generate bigger image sizes to sort this issue.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hi there,

Thank you for this detailed post on image sizes. I have a quick question. My previous theme needed me to regenerate my thumbnails. I have recently switched themes where I do not need to regenerate thumbnails as they automatically adjust to the required size. However, I accidentally did a regenerate and now my thumbnails are smaller than usual.

Is there a way to adjust the thumbnail size to fit the theme size or to revert back to the original thumbnail size? I have deleted the regenerate plugin as I will no longer use it. Thank you very much.

Hello Bikramjit,

It is still working.

You can use 0 size for images you do not want to have images generated.

Yes, you can set thumbnail size to 650×450 and use that inside blog posts.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

That’s really useful article! Thank you!! But people here are raising doubts about working of 0 value after wordpress updates. Is it so?
Even then, I have put the value for large image as 0.
I have a question : Can we keep the Thumbnails option alone with medium size also 0 although I keep adding images in posts.
Will thumbnails size set to 650×450 work both for thumbnails as well as blog posts.?

I will surely try this because I don’t want garbage images on my server.
