Useful but the update has massively over-engineered the plugin

    This was a simple plugin, which basically allowed you to disable the generation of images based on their presets. However, I don’t know when this happened.. but clearly an update came through and totally re-designed the interface, bundled a bunch of features (mostly “Pro” clickbait) and that would have all been fine.. if it didn’t disable the functionality that it was already performing.

    Now, despite re-enabling the “module” for this plugin, to continue it’s function of stopping the generation of various image sizes… it seems that every time there’s an update, it wants to completely set the configuration to default.. meaning that images are being generated at the incorrect sizes once again… and you should refresh the configuration page even after saving, because sometimes it reverts back or shows the incorrect configuration.

    There was no need to bloat this plugin and basically ruin what was working perfectly fine.. But despite other complains in the support section from other users.. issues continue.

    Thanks, but I guess I’ll be looking for a replacement.

    The issue is, you created the issue by bloating a plugin called “Image Sizes” to “ThumbPress” and bundled a ton of useless stuff with it, with most of it not even relevant to the original plugin.. you basically hijacked it.

    It’s fine, I don’t need another plugin, I’ve developed my own which will perform the same functionality as the original plugin did, without all of the bloat that you have decided to plague this plugin with.
