DB table leftover after uninstall
Melapress is a great plugin but I hate it when plugins doesn’t clean-up their DB table leftover after uninstall. Add an option in the settings to delete db tables on uninstall. If you want to uninstall this completely, drop these 6 tables mfm_eventsmfm_events_metadatamfm_scanned_directoriesmfm_scanned_filesmfm_stored_directoriesmfm_stored_files

Seems good so far
Only just started using it really, but it seems to be doing what we need. Support were very quick in creating a patch for a bug that turned up.

This plugin is terrible BLOATware
I’m not expecting / warranting an answer, I just want to state for the record (and for other interested parties) that this plugin is very badly coded and has caused me a lot of problems. First off, it doesn’t purge its Cron jobs and wp_options after being disabled/removed. Second off, those Cron jobs and wp_options have created an absolute BLOAT on my site. After just a couple of week there were MILLIONS of mfm_directory_runner% spam entries in my wp_options. Also the daily mfm_monitor_file_changes cron job was crashing my php-fpm (resource exhaustion). If you want to monitor file changes on the site, it’s much better to write a short bash script and run it through a cron job, than doing anything at the Wordpress level. This plugin has been a big mistake, and any plugin like it would very likely also be a big mistake.

Excellent Plugin
We are using it for more than 2 years now with real great results. One of its kind for such a topic (files monitor). Really recommended.
