    Hi there,

    I just realized that on our listings (e.g. https://supscout.de/places/) the thumbnails are all resized big images although there are smaller versions available. For example, one thumbnail uses //cdn.supscout.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/6552_IMG_8243.jpg although there is //cdn.supscout.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/6552_IMG_8243-260×185.jpg

    Is there an option to tell GD to use the smaller versions?

    Thanks in advance!

    No, there is no such option.
    If using thumbnails, then changing grid views from list to 4 columns etc would require 4 different thumbs to be pre-loaded, and created and saved on your server.

    Review those settings:

    GD > Design > Home tab > Resize image large size
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#resize-image

    GD > Design > Scripts tab > Enable lazy load images?
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#scripts

    Thanks

    I guess changing this is a feature request which is not worth writing but here are a few remarks:

    I don’t think you would have to pre-load them.
    A) I doubt the view is changed often
    B) you could always load them when the view is changed

    Apart from that:
    – server space is really not a limiting factor these days
    – loading 3 small images is probably less traffic than one really big one

    And isn’t the process you described the usual WordPress procedure except that you can decide which formats to produce and the theme/plugin chooses the one that fits best?

    And a little off topic: Is there a way to turn the different views off? I can hide the drop-down in CSS but I could imagine that a lot of code-loading could be saved doing this deeper in the code…

    Thank you and kind regards
    Jonas
