We acquired a fairly large site with about 1,500 media items and we really wanted
to prune those back and find all files that were actually being used. This plugin
did exactly that! Installation and activation were easy, just clicks of a button.
The plugin explicitly notes that only Apache is currently supported so for our Nginx
sites we had to create a custom rule (which we’re used to with anything that needs
to write to .htaccess). Here’s the Nginx rule that we used: location ~ /wp-content/(.*)\.(
jpe?g|png|gif)$ { rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?meow_media_handler=$1 last; } We know
most of the content isn’t delivered via JS so we then just scanned the site with
Xenu and found exactly what we needed to know! Very helpful and we’re looking forward
to this possibly being merged into Media Cleaner.
