Hi @tserepka,
The free version definitely has it. There is a Scan button in Media Cleaner’s Dashboard. From your message, it sounds like you may have only visited the settings page, not the actual Media Cleaner dashboard. Could you please confirm whether you opened the Dashboard and checked the tutorial?
Yes, Elementor support requires the Pro version. That is not because the free version “does nothing”, but because supporting page builders is a lot of work. Over the years, I have spent months maintaining compatibility with Elementor and similar tools, because they store and reference media in their own ways.
I have also made Media Cleaner’s internal API public, so anyone is free to build a small add-on to improve support for specific builders and make it available to everyone. So far, nobody has done that. Since I do not personally use Elementor on my own sites, and since maintaining that support takes real time and effort, I decided to keep it in Pro. Let me ask; would you be okay working on that free add-on? I would be very happy if you could think about it.
I am happy to help if something is genuinely unclear, but I also think it is important to understand that plugin support and compatibility work take a lot of time from real people.
Hey, Mr. Meow. Thank you for the response. What I just found out is that the SCAN button text is transparent, but the button itself exists. I’m sharing the screen. The button color may be inherited from the theme, which is why it was hard to see.
Hi @tserepka,
Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Indeed, there is something in your theme or another plugin modifying the colors of the buttons I use. It’s the first time I see that!
Also, there’s not much I can do except ask you for the list of plugins you have, to try to identify what’s causing this. That said, it’s very weird! 😮 I’m not sure why a plugin or theme would do that. They shouldn’t override the WordPress Admin or anything in it. They might load a CSS file for their own page somewhere, but that CSS might be active on every admin page you have, which wouldn’t be good either. It could be interesting to disable all plugins (except Media Cleaner) and see if the Scan button appears; if yes, then you can try to pinpoint the real culprit 😌
