Site Management
The Media Settings screen allows you to configure how WordPress handles images and other media files. Here you can set default image sizes for thumbnails, medium, and large images, as well as determine how your media files are organized in the uploads folder. These settings help ensure consistent sizing and organization across your site.

These settings determine the maximum dimensions (in pixels) for images inserted into your content:
Thumbnail Size – Enter the Width and Height
Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions – Check this box if you want thumbnails cropped to the exact size instead of maintaining proportions
Medium Size – Enter the Max Width and Max Height
Large Size – Enter the Max Width and Max Height
Control how your uploaded media files are stored:
Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders – Check this box to automatically sort uploads by date (for example, June 2023 uploads would be stored in wp-content/uploads/2023/06). WordPress will create these folders for you automatically when needed.
After adjusting your settings, click the Save Changes button to store your preferences. A confirmation message will appear at the top of the page once your settings have been saved.
