So let's get this started. Very first thing to do is log in to your WordPress dashboard
0:40
And once you're right here, you're going to review the left sidebar of menus on your site
0:45
Here is all the menus to manage your site. Scroll it down just a little bit
0:50
Of course, the amount of menus may change according to the theme that you are using
0:54
the plugins that you have active okay but you always gonna have this one right here the settings
1:00
okay the settings menu hold your mouse over it and click on media okay just right here
1:10
and from here you're gonna see the image size upload the foods okay so the size from thumbnail
1:16
size medium size large size and the uploading files style so we can crop the thumbnails to
1:26
exactly dimensions normally thumbnails are proportional okay so normal so here is the
1:32
thumbnail size you can customize this in the case that i want you can make this change right here in the case that you prefer we can type the numbers for thumbnail for medium size and for large size and of course you have full size option i going to explain this later and this
1:48
is the most important setting okay this is one of the things that you most do and when you are
1:55
starting your wordpress website when the site is new you have not much content it's one of the first
2:00
settings you have to do okay it's very simple there's not a lot of things to do right here but
2:06
this is very important organize my uploads into month and year based folders okay so if you go to
2:13
your file manager into your into your cpnl into your ftp into the host access okay you're going
2:21
to be able to see into your wp contents all the files organized by year where they were uploaded
2:28
and inside year the month that they were uploaded okay so it helps to keep your database organized
2:34
Okay, so make sure that you have this setting market and after doing your chance save chance and how does the
2:43
Medium and large affect your site. Let me show you one example. Let me go to one of my posts for example
2:50
From the post let me it did open the posts editor and
2:55
Right here imagine that I would like to upload an image. Okay, so
3:00
let me just Apply an image block right here Let me select I am an image from my media library. I
3:10
would like to try with This image right here as we can see this image have the
3:18
full widget size that is 1920 and 108 oh okay so this is the full widget size okay let me insert this
3:32
to the post and now can you see this little editor that appears from the
3:38
right sidebar of my WordPress I have block styles settings image size can you
3:48
see right here we have the thumbnail 150 the medium 300 the large size where are
4:01
these sizes came in from it's came in from here the image size media settings
4:10
you can preset the size that you need for your image by default when you
4:15
upload an image on our site it used to came from the large size but you always
4:19
can change this to the full size so as you can see now we'd have the image
4:24
original dimensions but you can change this in the way that you want to make it
4:29
better for you just remember if you are using a too big image into any small
4:34
area of your site it can decrease the page loads and isn't really needed
4:39
because you're gonna be able to show the image real quality so if you only have a
4:44
A small block a small area of your site to display the image
4:49
I recommend that you try the medium you try the thumbnail depends on your needs
4:54
Okay, so do not overuse the image this can decrease your site load speed make the page too big
5:02
It too hard to load and decrease your SEO Okay so this is why the media settings uploads are important okay and it is hope you guys enjoy this video feel free to use the
