Does not work?

    Hi,

    I found that new image uploaded generates the smaller sizes defined in Settings >> Media. Hitting “Start Cleanup” seems to be processing and finishing, but it doesn’t actually remove the files for the smaller sizes.

    I’m on WP 4.4.2 and using very few other plugins on my test site. Any clue?

    Thanks,
    Bowo

    Hello,

    apologies for missing your problem, for some reason I either didn’t get an email about it or somehow missed it.

    I f I understand you correctly, you are wondering why the plugin doesn’t remove medium and small image sizes (the ones that come with WordPress by default)? Here is an explanation from the FAQ:

    Some image sizes are not cleaned up, which ones and why?

    Plugin never cleans default image sizes (thumbnail, medium, large), so if your theme/plugins don’t define custom image sizes, this plugin will not help you out. Why does it not clean up those mage sizes? Well the reason for that is that all of those image sizes are used in the Media UI of the WordPress Dashboard. What that means is: if plugin were to clean up all sizes, they would be generated for all of your images as soon as you would visit the Media screen. Since I don’t know of anyone that never visits the Media screen, it made sense to exclude those image sizes from the cleaning process and avoid the redundant server load.

    I hope that answers your question. If I misunderstood you, let me know.

    Thanks

    Ah, I see. Should’ve read the FAQ page before posting here. Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
