Media Sync
By erolsk8
Description
This plugin allows you to examine all files within the uploads directory to determine which ones are present in the Media Library and which ones are just sitting there unused. You can then choose the files you want to import into the database, thereby including them in the Media Library.
Moreover, you can utilize FTP to upload files directly to the uploads directory and subsequently add these files to the Media Library avoiding any file size limitations.
Please try to import only one file first to see if it works as you expected. This plugin is designed for scanning, selecting, and importing all files at once. However, based on your server's configuration, memory, and timeout challenges may arise with extensive file quantities.
The pro version employs incremental directory scans to effectively tackle these issues. Please be aware that every WordPress installation is unique, and there may be instances where this plugin does not function as expected. Should this occur, we recommend enabling the debugging feature in the plugin's settings to identify the issue.
These can be modified and enhanced using the new advanced filters available in the pro version. The pro version allows scanning and importing unlimited number of files, quick single directory rescans, advanced filters, and automatic imports.
