Support » Plugin: Media File Cleaner » Worth buying

  • READ ALL THE REVIEW!

    It worked like a charm in my dev server.

    After buying it timed out in the production server. After updating the PHP settings, the ‘Reading files’ process hanged much later (PHP’s error log outputted ‘Connection reset by peer’).

    With Jordy’s (and my hosting’s) support (and a day of lonely mental torture) I made it work…

    My site is based in a plugin that pulls loads of RSS, that are saved as drafts. Then the editor can publish or delete them.

    These drafts have an insane amount of icons (like, comment, share, etc.) and, somehow, the deletion of the drafts did not erase these images.

    After thirteen months in production (and very soft maintenance) my server had almost 2 million files uploaded and 645k orphan attachment records (in wp_posts.

    After throwing some clever queries to MySQL, the plugin works like a charm!

    P.S. I had to tweak your code to allow more than 15 entries per page. Is there any reason why you limited it?

    Ah, so that was the impressive amount of images.

    I had no specific good reason for this but if you have a suggestion I would like to change it. I actually use the same numbers on a few other plugins.

    How much space did you get back?

    I think that the real reason was overloading the database.

    How much space did you get back?

    in the database around 700MB.
    In httpdocs around 30GB.

    84k images indexed and being deleted as I write…

    Impressive plugin!
