Stay Away

    Made a huge mess of my client’s site. Many images the plugin marked as unreferenced and unused were in fact used.

    Thankfully, I had a complete backup created with Duplicator Pro to fall back on. Restoring the site from the backup was the only way to put the site back together again.

    The documentation for this plugin is almost non-existent and the plugin hasn’t been touched for over two years. Red alert!

    About all I can say is use extreme caution and have a complete backup before proceeding.

    I’ve uninstalled this plugin and put it on my “do not use” list.

    I had the same experience. I noticed in my case the problem images were all attached to WooCommerce products. Maybe it doesn’t handle custom post types well? In any case, not safe to use, definitely run a backup first if you do.

    @allenbell_nc Thanks for confirming. Yes, the issue could be related to custom post types, but since those are increasing common, a feature many themes are taking advantage of, and there’s apparently no interest in updating this plugin, we’re clearly in “do not use” territory.
