This approach might work most sites, but it’s not a viable approach for larger sites like ours. Making the plugin unusable for us.

One of the USPs of this plugin is that it claims to smartly search the page and post content for the attachments. That’s why we considered purchasing it. Maybe if they improve this aspect it will be a truly great plugin and we will revisit for our clients.

To the plugin developers: I’d suggest using a batch process to check each attachment file individually with a query like:

SELECT COUNT(id) FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%ATTACHMENT_NAME%';

instead of trying to match against all post content at once. It would take longer to execute, but could run in the background and would work for sites like ours.

Any ideas please? Many thanks in advance.

WP-Optimize finds more than 60.000 of them, but it seems it only select and delete the first 99 when I click on “select all”.

I’ve noticed that if I scroll the unused images list, more appear to be selected. But it would take hours for me to manually do this.

Can you fix this bug or make a suggestion, please?

I would be a nightmare to really select them all
