It is a review helper, not a cleanup tool: it surfaces useful information so you can make your own decisions, and it keeps the standard Media Library UI intact. It adds two read-only columns and a small filter dropdown to the Media Library list view (upload.php): * **Media Status** — at-a-glance signals such as whether an attachment has a parent post, whether it is used as a featured image, whether it is referenced in post content, and whether an image is missing its alt text. * **File Info** — file size, image dimensions (for images), and MIME type. * **Media Review filter** — quickly narrow the list to images that are missing alt text, or to attachments that have no parent post. The plugin is intentionally small and focused: * It keeps the standard WordPress Media Library UI. * It only looks at the attachments shown on the current page; it does not scan your whole site. * It does not delete, trash, rename, or modify any media. * It does not generate alt text. * It does not connect to external services. * There are no ads and no upsells. Detection is deliberately conservative. When the Media Status column shows “no basic signal” for an item, that only means the plugin did not find the basic references it checks for. It does not mean the file can be removed — the file may still be used by a theme, a custom field, a widget, a page builder, CSS, or another plugin. ### Features * Media Status column for the Media Library list view. * File Info column (file size, image dimensions, MIME type). * Filter for images that are missing alt text. * Filter for attachments with no parent post. * Safety-first wording throughout the interface. * No automatic deletion. * No external services. ### What this plugin does not do * It does not delete media files. * It does not rename files. * It does not generate alt text automatically. * It does not connect to external services. * It does not claim that a media file is safe to delete. * It does not determine whether a file can be deleted. ## Screenshots [⌊Media Library list view with the Media Status and File Info columns.⌉⌊Media Library list view with the Media Status and File Info columns.⌉[ Media Library list view with the Media Status and File Info columns.
