Thank you! 🙂 ## Skjermbilete * [[ * Plugin settings page ## Installasjon **Installing the plugin** Activate like any other plugin and done. Visit the plugin settings page to choose your options. More info on [installing WP plugins](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/manage-plugins/#installing-plugins-1) **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** This plugin cleans up after itself. All plugin settings will be removed from the WordPress database when the plugin is deleted via the WP Plugins screen. Also, this plugin does not remove any existing images at any time. So it is safe to delete the plugin, it never touches any images. ## Vanlege spm. ### There are still some extra images generated? 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 can disable only the extra images generated by core WordPress functionality. ### Got a question?

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f462400dbe84c51d9352ab582a261c9e6945ceac9827bad1c7e58956d3c42e4c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-10378/)󠁿 [fabiolw](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fabiolw/) 23. mai 2024 At the moment, just perfect ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fbbd9f6fa6c26858fef3b64db0a55b2496983341d2e79fd46a48d93170ca29a5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-16132/)󠁿 [freischuetz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/freischuetz/) 9. februar 2024 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!
