Absolutely a jewel of a snippet. Useful for so many websites out there, especially the image heavy ones or big shops. Great job & video.

This should be an option in base wordpress to be honest. Good info 👍

A fantastic tip Imran. As someone who already has over 1200 images which are growing weekly, I'll apply this over weekend.

This should be an option in WP imho, but thanks for a great tip. I have a multisite with 250 sites on it that this is going to prove VERY useful for.

cheers Imran... really wish Wordpress wouldn't do this by default or at least give us an option to turn it off... can end up with a ton of crap in the database...

Imran, then there will be the "proper size" issue on pagespeed insight, don't you think?

Would this delete these images too - or just prevent them from being loaded?

Won't delete but will stop it happening again. It's a pain that it does it in the first place.

Hello, thank you for nice tip. I have a problem to save snippet in Elementor custom code section. Button save just doesn't react. { Where Do You Want to Display Your Code?}. It's just a Elem. bug?

@antonichristian5845 Жыл бұрын

use a plugin like codesnippets as suggested by Imran in the video... you can also add it to your themes functions.php file... i know that elementor custom code can accept js and css... not to sure about php...

@websquadron Жыл бұрын

Add to Code Snippets as in the video. It's a much safer way to do it.

@dingadanga8653 Жыл бұрын

@Web Squadron I looked at media cleaner, but that can open a can of worms on an ecommerce site as it can break the site. Would be great to have a plugin which scans your whole website and keeps only the images in use across responsive view. I know you can restore using meoaps media cleaner, but in even a small ecommerce website with 1000 products, it can be time consuming and then a pain if ir breaks etc
