remove_image_size()
Removes a previously registered image size by it name. The new image size is registered with add_image_size().
It can be useful, for example, when the theme registers a new size, and you need to change this size.
This function uses $_wp_additional_image_sizes variable which contains the new registered image sizes.
No Hooks.
Returns
true|false. True if the image size was successfully removed, false on failure.
Usage
remove_image_size( $name );
- $name(string) (required)
- The image size name you want to delete. The name should be the same as was used in add_image_size() function.
Examples
#1 Remove an image size
Suppose that we use a plugin which registers a new image size and we want to remove it:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_plugin_image_sizes' );
function remove_plugin_image_sizes() {
remove_image_size('image-name');
} #2 Change the sizes of thumbnail
In this example, we redefine the image size with the same name but another thumbnail sizes:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_then_add_image_sizes' );
function remove_then_add_image_sizes(){
add_image_size( 'image-name', 200, 200, true );
}
