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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I’ve been waiting for the progress bar to finish, watching the “99% complete” for 25 minutes before cancelling the job. Conclusion: plugin doesn’t work

    You don’t have a way to post support requests/bugs.I am getting an error Cron reschedule event error for hook: media_tracker_batch_process, Error code: invalid_schedule, Error message: Event schedule does not exist., Data: {“schedule”:”five_minutes”,”args”:[],”interval”:300}you need to register cron_schedules for five_minutes in code that loads for all requests (not just wp-admin / Admin class).Scheduling should be done on activation or in a non-admin bootstrap, not only when an admin class is constructed.

    Good luck on this project, a clean unbastardized tool like this is greatly needed, one item for suggestion box, turn “Usages Count” into a sortable column, will assist in getting to the media with 0 count quicker and cleaner so we don’t have to browse through, if there is a method please reply back I may have missed something?

    Helpful for tracking media usage and cleaning up unused files. The interface is simple and saves a lot of time. Loving what it does.

    great plugin, thats a simple and easy way to delete unused media. I modified the file “includes/Admin/Unused_Media_List.php” so that I have 100 elements per page instead of 20.
