Hello all!

I want to trim down my site, I have over 1.5 GB worth of data on it. My site has at least 2,000 K2 items on it, so I have some questions.

1. media/k2/items/src folder = what's the purpose of these images? Doesn't K2 items serve only images from media/k2/items/cache ?

2. what are some problems of commenting out the code in the core that creates 5 or 6 different sizes for each image?

3. could somebody point me to the code that does this?

Basically every k2 item I have uses medium images, and some xsmall images around the site for thumbnails. The rest could go and save me a ton of server space.

Thank you all for your time!

Hello Eduardo,

1. You can delete the src files but not the folder or the index.html file in order to save up some space.
2. I would not hack the core in your position, it could lead to unexpected results. I think with just deleting the src files you will have saved enough space.
3. If you hack the core you will lose your changes in the next update as well.

PS. Always backup first
