Hi,

I have a form for uploading media and any time I upload images many thumbnails are created. How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks.

Formidable doesn't create thumbnails. That's a WordPress function often managed by your theme and other plugins. Take a look at this article. It may help you fix the issue. https://wpmudev.com/blog/wordpress-image-sizes/

Thanks for this. I am aware that WP creates the thumbnails but I was looking for a way to disable that feature specifically for Formidable uploads without interfering with the WP process. Sorry if I was not clear.

Again, Formidable doesn't create the thumbnails. The thumbnails are created by WordPress when it receives an uploaded file into the media library. There is no setting or way to change this in Formidable. It's a WordPress thing.
