Media Sifter

外掛說明

Media Sifter helps you reclaim storage by finding media files that are not used anywhere on your site. Run a safe dry-run scan, preview results, and bulk-delete only what you confirm.

Features

  • 🔍 Scan for orphans — detects media not referenced in posts/pages or attached to content.
  • 🧮 Storage stats — see how many files and how much space can be recovered.
  • 🧰 Batch scanning — avoids timeouts on large libraries.
  • Safe by default — dry-run first; delete only after confirmation.
  • 🔒 Admin-only & secure — capability checks and nonces on all actions.

What counts as “in use”?

  • Media attached to a post (parent set).
  • Media referenced by URL in post content or basic meta (e.g., featured image).
  • Resized variants (e.g., -150x150) linked to the base file.

Note: Deep scanning of page builders (Elementor/Divi), custom fields, and complex meta references are Pro-candidate features.

安裝方式

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via the Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin.
  3. Go to Media Media Sifter and click Start Scan.

常見問題集

Is it safe?

Yes. Scans are read-only. Deletions require explicit confirmation. Always keep a recent backup.

Will it detect images used by page builders?

The Lite version does a conservative scan. Deep scanning for builders/ACF is planned for a Pro version.

Can I restore deleted files?

Deletion is permanent. Always back up your site before deleting.
