[BUG] Remove Files From Server

  • Hello,

    When I upload a file to my media and it’s offloaded to my s3 bucket, WordPress as you know creates multiple versions of that image (thumbnail, small, etc) sizes.

    The plugin deletes all but the last of the resized images every time. For example, 3 images are created but only the first 2 are deleted and the last one left in my local /uploads folder.

    I debugged to see if it’s because the path was not generated when remove_local_files() ran, but that wasn’t the issue.

    if ( ! @unlink( $path ) ) { runs for all 3 images but the last one isn’t removed.

    What’s going on?

    I just noticed that many people have this problem from a 10 month old post that was never resolved.

    If I could give a 0/5 stars I would. Outrageous.

    To anyone that reads this,

    Use this ALTERNATIVE PLUGIN https://en-ca.www.ads-software.com/plugins/ilab-media-tools/

    It does not have any of the problems Offload media has and provides more features.

    You will also get 25% off if you’re changing from Offload media to this plugin.

    Hey @ovatiq, sorry to hear you had problems with WP Offload Media Lite.

    The issue you linked to seemed to be a very unique to the user problem, we’ve never had similar reports other than later on when WP5.3 dropped with massive changes to how media is processed. As far as we know the latest version of WP Offload Media (Lite) is working well with WP5.3.

    If anyone else has an issue like described whereby the original file and generated thumbnails are successfully offloaded but the last thumbnail isn’t deleted from the server, please let us know, this is the first we’ve head of this particular problem.

    Turning on debugging and re-creating the problem would help. So would any information about the sample image, such as whether “original_image” was moved aside and a “-scaled” version created, along with what thumbnail sizes were created. E.g., the contents of the “_wp_attachment_metadata” postmeta record for the Media Library item.

    I also encountered the same problem, Remove Files From Server does not work, the image files remain in /upload
    I tried other plugins (Media Cloud), this plugin can correctly delete local files
