Popis

Media Cleaner is a powerful plugin that helps you clean up your WordPress media library by deleting unused media entries and files, as well as fixing broken entries. With an internal trash feature, you can preview and confirm changes before permanently deleting anything. Plus, Media Cleaner uses smart analysis to ensure compatibility with specific plugins and themes.

Use it alongside Database Cleaner for the ultimate clean-up experience.

Media Cleaner is like a ninja assassin for your Media Library – it’ll stealthily take out all the unnecessary media and broken entries that are cluttering up the place. Just make sure you have a solid backup plan in place before you let this bad boy loose.

To learn more about compatibility, features, and the Pro version, check out the tutorial on the official website.

COMPATIBILITY

This plugin is compatible with all media types, including retina and WebP versions. It has been tested on a wide range of WordPress versions, including the latest version with Gutenberg, as well as on various themes with a large community of users. It also supports WooCommerce. For users with more complex plugins for handling website content, the Pro version may be necessary for optimal compatibility. We are constantly working to increase compatibility with other plugins.

PRO VERSION

Media Cleaner Pro adds extra features to the free version of Media Cleaner:

Filesystem Analysis: Scans your physical /uploads directory and matches it against the Media Library.
Extra support for complex plugins, such as ACF, Metabox, Divi Builder, Fusion Builder (Avada), WPBakery Page Builder, Visual Composer, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Brizy Builder, Oxygen Builder, Slider Revolution, Justified Image Grid, Avia Framework, and many more!
Live Site Scan: Analyzes the online version of your website, potentially improving accuracy in some cases.
WP-CLI support: Allows you to run the plugin at a higher speed or automatically with direct server access (via SSH).

Hosting is expenssive. Media Cleaner allows me to identify and safely remove images i don’t use so i could save on hosting. Simple but effective.

Cubre las diversas necesidades solicitadas, y va más allá de otros limpiadores que son muy superficiales.

I have used this tool off and on for over six years. Took over one website that literally had thousands of unused images and it was extremely useful to identify and get rid of those. Done this with several sites to a lesser degree. I now have a new site that I am not familiar with and need to be very careful with what I get rid of due to the visibility the client has of their site. Again, thousands of photos. So I will be buying the Pro version to get that further insurance.

Many sites end up using excess storage for media items that are no longer in use, but it’s a challenge to determine what to delete. Media Cleaner works really well and feels like you’re tapping into many years of experience and edge case resolutions to get a robust, extensive yet easy to use tool.

Asked for support for the Pro version. The help went as far as sending a unreleased version to test which worked great. Thank you! Plugin might a page with the required steps, as a developer i can find what i need, but for „normal“ users it might be a bit harder to find out what to do? Cleaner did remove some used images, but the trash/recover function is very nice.

Being a student run website, I need to clear up loads of images that we simply did not use anymore, as its been years running. We remove old posts via the database, but then needed to remove all the image files, this program worked like a charm and removed them for us. We might get the pro versioin next just to make sure all images are also removed off the server. thanks for a great plugin
