How to determine unused images on the wp media library?
Hello everyone,
We are cleaning out our wordpress media library. I did some research but the results are conflicting.
Do you agree that images/photos that are not used in any of the WordPress page or post will display as unattached?
We want to delete images/photos which are not in used.
It appears that featured Images used in the blog roll (index.php) as a thumbnail are also marked as unattached. Is this correct or is this a theme error?
I see numerous images that say 'detached', yet I go to the webpages that they are on, and yep, the images are definitely there.
The images are shown as attached only to the page they were uploaded on. If they were uploaded directly to the media library, they will be displayed as unattached, even if they are later used in a page/post. So we can't rely on the attached/unattached status in order to clean the library.
Is there a plugin we can use to determine 100% images that are not used?
Your input will be highly appreciated.
Thank you so much.
