Unattached status with galleries

    There are many images I know that belong to a post, they are inserted as a tiled gallery collection. However, they are shown as unattached. Will this plugin delete those images? In other words, does it go by the attached/unattached status or actually check to see if the image is displayed in a post.

    I am not sure why some images show as unattached because I can see them in the post. They are either selected as the featured image or belong to a gallery.

    Thanks,

    Hi @acekin,

    If they are featured image, they should be really detected as used – and not marked as to be deleted. This is really odd!

    However, for the Tiled Gallery, maybe it’s simply that I don’t support the plugin you are using. Which plugin are you using for those galleries?

    Maybe you don’t know, but I need to implement support for each plugin and page builder manually, the plugin doesn’t guess, it really analyzes the WordPress install ??

    Thank you @tigroumeow for the reply. I use Jetpack for the tiled galleries. My understanding is that if the media are first loaded to the library and then added to posts, they remain “Unattached.” But, if they are uploaded while writing the post from the upload option in media selection they are attached. This is odd but that’s the way it is.

    I did not know that you implement modules for each plugin. That’s nice of you. All this said, I went through my media library using brute force and attached those that could be, and deleted the unnecessary media So far so good.

    The fact they are attached or not doesn’t matter much; Media Cleaner is supposed to do a thorough analysis. That said, there is an option to consisder the “Attached Images” as used ??

    I did not know that you implement modules for each plugin. That’s nice of you.

    Haha, thank you ?? But there is actually no choice. Just querying the whole database with one query doesn’t work, depending on the plugins, data is kept in different tables, or encrypted in different ways. I am not that nice; that’s why there is a Pro version of the plugin, that allows me spending a few hours every day on it to add more support.

    Very happy it worked for you. Have a nice day ??

    Oh, I did my cleaning totally manually. Searching for the file name on the site and deciding where they may belong, if anywhere. That’s when I realized that the images appeared in the tiled galleries created by Jetpack Tiled Gallery module but still showed as unattached. Luckily, I could attach multiple files at once. I have not used this plugin for my cleaning. But, I may take a look just in case.

    Thanks,
