DX Delete Attached Media

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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 · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Where I had a custom code implementation to do what this plugin does – that caused the site to completely destroy itself – this plugin does not. It does what it says without any issues. And its free! Big thank you to the developers. ♥

   Unfortunately this plugin deleted media which was used elsewhere on the site. It deleted media which was used in other posts by the ACF Image Fields and ACF Gallery plugin. It should not delete media which is used elsewhere on the site.

   I run a classifieds site with thousands of posts and images uploaded by the users. This plugin is a total lifesaver!

   The plugin works well, but not delete the “.webp” file type. Hope the author fix it in next update, but for me is a 5* plugin. Just install, activate and it does the job.
