Delete Post with Attachments

Recent reviewers say it does exactly what it promises, clearing leftover attachments and freeing up storage, with one asking for more readable announcement banners.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 72% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 14 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   This plugin is very useful for deleting unused posts and deleting media that takes up space. Please continue developing this plugin because it really helps save storage. Thank you very much

   I downloaded this plugin just a few minutes ago and already know it’s exactly what I need. The only thing I’d like to see changed is the opacity setting of the announcement banners that are displayed. They’re a bit hard to read until you hover over them. I’m going to try and contact the developer to see if I can get a modification done.
