FAQ

Can this plugin handle large media libraries?

Yes! Media Inventory Forge uses progressive batch processing to handle libraries with thousands of media files without timeout issues.

Does this plugin modify or delete my media files?

No. Media Inventory Forge is a read-only analysis tool. It scans and reports on your media but never modifies or deletes files.

What file types are supported?

The plugin analyzes all media types including images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio files (MP3, WAV), documents (PDF, DOC, XLS), fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF), and more.

Can I export the scan results?

Yes. The plugin includes a CSV export function that generates detailed reports with all scanned data for external analysis.

Is this compatible with multisite installations?

Yes. Media Inventory Forge works with both single-site and multisite WordPress installations.

How accurate are the file size calculations?

The plugin uses direct filesystem access to get precise file sizes, including all WordPress-generated variations and thumbnails.

What’s the difference between Card View and Table View?

Card View displays media in an expandable card format, perfect for browsing individual files with detailed metadata. Table View shows all media in a sortable table with columns for quick comparison and analysis. Switch between views anytime using the toggle buttons.

How does unused media detection work?

The plugin scans your entire WordPress installation including posts, pages, widgets, theme files, and page builders to identify where each media file is used. Files with no detected usage are flagged as “unused” – though you should always verify before deleting as some uses (like hardcoded URLs in custom code) may not be detectable.

Can I sort the results in Table View?

Yes! Click any column header in Table View to sort by that column. Click again to reverse the sort order. You can sort by filename, file size, file type, upload date, and usage status.
