Media Library Recovery

Popis

A tool that helps you restore and recover images from your wp-content/uploads folder after a database failure or reset.

Media Library Recovery allows you to restore existing image media files from the uploads folder and re-insert it into the WordPress database the correct way.

You can choose individual image files for recovery, or utilize the available filters and navigation within our custom Media Explorer to speed up the process.

Go to Media > Media Recovery from the main menu which will open the Media Explorer.

From the options you can choose to either show or hide the existing image media files already found on your server and database.

  1. Go to the Media Explorer.
  2. Select/click the image files you want to recover.
  3. Click on Media Recovery... button and wait until you images are rebuilt.

This is one of the only two plugins I could find to recover media files. The plugin works as expected. There are a couple things can be improved. I have over 1000 images and files to recover. Manually clicking 10 images at a time and hit the import button isn't going to do it. I'll be sitting there all day to do this. I wish there's a more efficient approach. Only images show up. It's also common to have PDF and some other types of file in the library. The plugin seems to ignore these files.

Had to move 3 websites, the WordPress Export from the media did leave the new library empty although the content/uploads folder was in place. This plugin made it possible to repair that
