I recently migrated a client from Easygallery to Phocagallery. They have 5,000+ images and a
lot of categories, so there were way too many thumbs folders for me to go through an manually delete them all. I thought I would share my solution in case anyone else finds themselves needing to do so.
You will of course have followed this
tutorial to set your new thumbnail sizes first.
Fortunately, I have SSH access to the web server. That's how this works. It just takes a couple of simple Linux commands once you are logged on to your server via your favorite terminal:
Code: Select all
cd public_html/images/phocagallery
That gets you to the typical location of your Phocagallery files. Next:
Code: Select all
find -name thumbs -exec rm -rf {} \;
That finds all the folders named "thumbs" and then removes all the files they contain as well as the folders themselves without prompting you to see if you want to delete them or not.
The whole thing takes two seconds.
P.S. Thanks for all your time developing Phocagallery!
