I only need to use the 3 standard images sizes registered in WP settings. Therefore I do not not want to use the functionality that Types image shortcode provide (proportional, widt, height). My types image shortcodes look like (example from one of my conten-templates):
[types usermeta='forretningslogo' user_is_author='true' size="medium" url='true'][/types]

My medium size is 300px (set in WP media settings).
However when a user upload an image through a cred post frontend form, types views still generate a duplicate image with wpcf_. The extra generated image has ecxatly the same dimensions (width: 300px) as the medium size image generated by wordpress.

I want to avoid that types generates these extra images, and just use the already generated images. How do I do it? I want to disable the function generally because I will not use other than the 3 standard image sizes.

You have a forum article about similar problem:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/preventing-duplicate-images-being-generated-by-views/

But as you can see in my types field I dont use the proportional attribute, so its not a solution I can use.

Best regards,
Poul P
