 * Hi,
    I wanted to test the plugin before buying the PRO version (I really need
   the possibility to bulk delete the files and check the uploads directory).
 * The problem is, when I activate the plugin on the Main Site (I’m on MU installation),
   I start getting a database error stating that wp_wpmcleaner table does’t exist.
 * Also (but I guess it’s natural since the table does not exist 😉 the plugin do
   not scans any file….
 * any idea on how to fix this?
    thanks 🙂

 * Hi,
 * That’s weird, the table is created when the plugin is installed :/ You can also
   go there: /wp-admin/upload.php?page=media-cleaner, and click on Reset, that will
   re-create the table. Can you try?

 * Hi Jordy, sorry for the delay but I miss the email notification of your response.
   
   I deleted the plugin and reinstalled it and now I’m the db error is gone.
 * I still have few questions:
    1) I have 18K media, how long is it going to take
   to scan them all? 2) Do I have to keep my browser tab open while it’s scanning?
   3) I’m not seeing any indication that the scanner is running (like a progress
   bar), I just see the writing “Reading Media” (see screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/z75rzrjgjz7ut4r/ScreenClip.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/z75rzrjgjz7ut4r/ScreenClip.png?dl=0))
   is it correct?
 * thanks 🙂

 * Hi Jordy,
    I’ve noticed that the requests to admin-ajax.php made by media cleaner
   hang for 4.5 minutes and then the server times out (other requests to admin-ajax.
   php are actually working)
 * So I guess it’s not working… any idea on how to fix it?
 * Thanks!
