    I saw something was mentioned about this in a review that didn’t go anywhere so thought to bring it up here. I am noticing that the plugin is picking up media files in use more and more. These are not only occurring with drafts, but actually with published items as well. I’ve had to rebuild posts a few times. It was here and there at first, but seems to be happening more frequently now, especially on published items.

    Hi @grandadmiral12345,

    I don’t think it’s more and more ?? The process of cleaning is extremely complex.

    It first goes through all your data; post types, trying to resolve everything to build temporarily a little database of all the images/resources that are mentioned in your content. Then, it goes through all your Media Library, to match the images/resources against that little database.

    This trying to resolve everything part is very difficult; over the years I studied thousands of uses cases. The Version Pro covers even more.

    If something is not resolved (because I don’t know the plugin, or I never had to confront the use case), an image would be shown as non-use, even though it is. To fix this, I need to be aware of that ?? And I need to handle them one by one.

    I’m not sure what you are saying/asking.

    @tigroumeow still trying to get an understanding of what you’re saying.
