media-usage

We acquired a fairly large site with about 1,500 media items and we really wanted to prune those back and find all files that were actually being used. This plugin did exactly that! Installation and activation were easy, just clicks of a button. The plugin explicitly notes that only Apache is currently supported so for our Nginx sites we had to create a custom rule (which we're used to with anything that needs to write to .htaccess). Here's the Nginx rule that we used: location ~ /wp-content/(.*)\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$ { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?meow_media_handler=$1 last; } We know most of the content isn't delivered via JS so we then just scanned the site with Xenu and found exactly what we needed to know! Very helpful and we're looking forward to this possibly being merged into Media Cleaner.
