Hi,
You are using the filesystem scan? Just making sure 🙂 Also, why do you want to do this, to run the scan faster? Because it will actually not – the whole content still need to be scanned first.
Hi again,
Yes, I am using the filesystem scan and I have images in the “wp-content/gallery” folder.
The plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) default path is in wp-content/gallery and I like to see which images are being used.
Running the plugin did find everything in the “uploads” folder but nothing in the “gallery” folder.
I want to change the directory so it scans the “gallery” folder. Otherwise, it will not detect anything.
Thanks.
Oh, I see! Sorry, I wasn’t careful at first. Actually, it can only work if it’s inside /wp-content/uploads, if it’s not, it’s not really managed by WordPress and can’t be properly checked by Media Cleaner.
Actually, nothing should be uploaded anywhere else than this upload folder. NextGen is not following way too many rules, maybe because it’s an old plugin or not very well made, I am not sure, but better to stay away from it. Sorry about that news 🙁
Ah that explains it all.
Yup, its an old plugin and I have to move all the content to the uploads folder. But before doing that I wanted to clean it up. Because there are a lot of images in there!
I will find another way. Thanks!
