About X image sizes

#1

Dear

I’d Like to understand how X images work.

For example,
Why X creates 4 image sizes?

  • Entry - 862x9999
  • Entry-cropped - 862x482
  • Entry-fullwidth - 1200x9999
  • Entry-cropped-fullwidth - 1200x671

Why NOW on my site https://www.ilsentierodeglignomi.it I find 10 image sizes:

  • Original image (overwritten by compressed image)
  • Thumbnail - 150x150
  • Medium - 300x300
  • Medium large - 768x?
  • Large - 1024x1024
  • Post-thumbnail - 100x9999
  • Entry - 862x9999
  • Entry-cropped - 862x482
  • Entry-fullwidth - 1200x9999
  • Entry-cropped-fullwidth - 1200x671

How X support Retina resolutions?
Do I need a separate plugin for SRCSET funcions?

Which are best image sizes to use on different X site sections?

Thank You

Hello,

Our theme won`t create duplicated images with different sizes, the X just apply a custom CSS with these sizes to crop the image.

About the retina question, our theme is optimized to retina devices - https://theme.co/x/features/retina-ready/ - but you can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/

And the size might be variable in the sections, but I like to use images with 1024px.

What is causing the duplication then do you think? I am having similar issues. TONS of image versions are visible on the backend.

Hi There,

Please read the article linked below. Yes X create a different versions (sizes) of your images to be used on different places on your site. You don’t want a full size image as a thumbnail, right? And not only the theme, the WordPress create its own versions (sizes) of images as well, but you can stop that by navigating the Settings > Media and setting all the size to 0 x 0. Also keep an eye on 3rd party plugins there are plugins that create their own image sizes too.

The X Image Guide

Double the original size of your image and that will look clear and crisp in retina display.

No, Images on X theme are responsive by default.

If you’re expecting your site to viewed on retina display, please double the size of your images.

Cheers!
