Nejčastější dotazy
-
Is this plugin compatible with my WordPress version?
-
Yes, Media Wipe is fully tested and compatible with WordPress 6.8 (the latest version) and works with WordPress 5.0 and above. It also supports PHP 7.4 to 8.3 and is designed for single-site installations.
-
Is it safe to use this plugin?
-
Yes, Media Wipe includes multiple safety layers including AI-powered confidence scoring, backup verification requirements, multi-step confirmation processes, and comprehensive audit logging. However, always create a complete backup before using any deletion features.
-
Can I recover deleted files?
-
No, once files are deleted using this plugin, they cannot be recovered. This is why the plugin requires explicit confirmation that you have created a backup before proceeding. All deletions are permanent and irreversible.
-
How does the DataTable interface work?
-
The plugin uses professional DataTables with search, sorting, pagination, and bulk selection. You can search for files, sort by any column, select multiple files across pages, and perform bulk operations. The interface is fully responsive and works on mobile devices.
-
What’s the difference between Delete Selected and Delete Unused?
-
Delete Selected lets you manually browse and select specific media files to delete using a professional DataTable interface. Delete Unused uses AI-powered scanning to automatically identify media files that aren’t being used anywhere on your site, with confidence scoring to help you make safe decisions.
-
How does the AI-powered unused media detection work?
-
The system scans your posts, pages, widgets, menus, and theme files to identify media usage. It assigns confidence scores (0-100%) with visual badges: High (90-100%) = very safe to delete, Medium (75-89%) = review recommended, Low (0-74%) = manual review required.
-
What does the confidence score mean?
-
The confidence score indicates how certain the system is that a file is unused. High confidence (90-100%) files are very safe to delete. Medium confidence (75-89%) files should be reviewed. Low confidence (0-74%) files require manual verification before deletion.
-
How does the Deletion History feature work?
-
The Deletion History page shows all deletion activities in a professional DataTable with timestamps, user information, IP addresses, and detailed logs. You can enable/disable logging, clear logs, and export data for compliance purposes.
-
Can I delete individual files or only in bulk?
-
Both! You can delete individual files using the „Delete“ button in each table row, or select multiple files and use „Delete Selected“ for bulk operations. The interface supports both single and bulk deletion workflows.
-
How does rate limiting work?
-
The plugin implements rate limiting to prevent abuse, allowing a maximum number of deletion operations per hour. This helps maintain system stability and prevents accidental mass deletions.
-
How accurate is the unused media detection?
-
The AI-powered detection system is highly accurate, scanning posts, pages, widgets, menus, and theme files. Files with 90%+ confidence scores are very safe to delete. For maximum safety, always start with „Select High Confidence Only“ and review lower-confidence files manually.
-
Is the plugin compatible with multisite installations?
-
Currently, the plugin is designed for single-site installations. Multisite support is planned for future versions.
-
How do I get started with the plugin?
-
After activation, visit the Media Wipe Dashboard to see your media library statistics. Use Delete Selected to manually choose files, or Delete Unused for AI-powered detection. Always start with „Select High Confidence Only“ for the safest automated cleanup.
