    Hello,

    When I upload some image directly from wordpress blog post (Add Media) it uploads the image but it creates 2 extra thumbnails of the image of different sizes.

    Those sizes appear in the upload window too. See the screenshot below

    How can I disable those extra thumbnails so that it should just upload my image and that's all.

    Thanks

    Thats is the default behaviour of wordpress, rather than change the resolution on the fly WP opt to create those. CPU time is much more precious than HD space

    I know that is the default behavior, but there must be some way to disable those extra thumbnails?

    You can also use a different media gallery like Nextgen and not use the wordpress media gallery at all.

    I found the solution.

    Go in to your WordPress Admin Panel and navigate to Settings > Media.

    Change the image dimensions of the thumbnail and medium sizes to 0x0. :)
