Support » Plugin: Image Cleanup » Detect broken images and delete post

  • Hi, we love your plugin and it saved us 100+ hours of fixing our 5000+ product post on our eCommerce sites.

    But now we ran into another problem, and I hope your plugin can also fix that. Here is an example:

    SiteA.com is the main site, it has a post called “123” with 10 images.
    SiteB.com is a second site, just in a different language. It also has post “123” and it just hotlinks the images from SiteA.com to save diskspace.

    We have 10 other sites, same posts, all hotlinking images from SiteA.com
    Now, after a few months, we delete post “123” from SiteA.com
    The problem now is that all other 10 sites still have post “123”, but all broken images.

    We hope your plugin can have some feature to do this:

    1) scan all posts
    2) detect broken images not found, which hotlink path no longer exist
    3) conditional; IF post has 10 (xxx ammount) of broken images, then delete the post

    I hope i explained it clear and can see this in a future releaes.

    Thanks for your request. This is definitely on my todo list. The code to do this is more or less in place actually (dev version).

    Two things will be added:
    – Valid metadata will now also contain the post in which it is used, eventually creating the possibility to remove valid, but unused, images.
    – Broken image links used in posts

    At the time i am spending time working on generating some turnover ;). But give it time and it will get added. If you need it quick we need work something out.

    Thanks for your reply. Please take your time.
    Please have an option of If xx amount of images is broken, then delete post.

    We have many post with just 1 or 2 broken images, they are fine to keep using. But some post with 10 broken images are no use to keep so it must be deleted by the plugin scan.

    Thanks again! Will definitely donate on the next version.

    Most of the features are implemented now. After some intensive testing I can release a new version of the plugin.

    I am close to releasing the new update. Even gallery shorcode images are indexed now =). It took me quite some time to fully test and smoothly add this functionality.

    Is this option already implemented? I just installed version 1.9.1 and indexed a part of my images, but I can’t figure out how to delete the posts that have missing images.

    Thanks in advance,

    Itam.
