Hi Michael, You have a great plugin Although when I run the plugin like several others have mentioned, the plugin times out after a little while. One also you have to run the plugin manually.

Would it be possible to modify the plugin to run automatically and report when it finds orphans. An ideal example is the "Broken Link Checker" plugin. Also I believe the plugin fails after a while because it may be using excessive load. You could probably restrict the server load. You can see the same again in "Broken Link Checker" - Advanced - Server load limit . This way the plugin will use minimal resources and still get orphans

Thanks

I have the same question, this plugin is so great! but it’s not developed anymore, and it’s not compatible with new version of WordPress

GTK. I have a similar set up and I’m hesitant to install as I don’t know what’s going to happen to those. I am developing the site and i’m early along enough that if I do have to do that, I’d be ok with the small amount of work ensued.

Since this plug-in is not being actively developed, does anyone know of an alternative plug-in that performs the same function (to help clean-up the upload directory)??

Hello,

This plugin seems great, but it's not working. I start it, but (I'm at Hostgator) after nothing, white screen.

But I need to run, because there are many posts and images what I have to delete.

Have you got any suggestion or idea?

Thanks

It should NOT remove header and background image files …..

Hi there,

Great plugin. And now that's done, I'm after a way to go though the database and delete entries to files that don't actually exist...sort of the opposite of this plugin. Do you know of a plugin, or an SQL command, that would do that?

Me too. It tries to delete every single image file in the system when running under wordpress 3.1.

Thanks so much for your time. J

I am hosted on a shared server and the query is finished running, it proved necessary changes are not to saturate the server

It seems to time out - testing it on a site with about 70,000 image files in the upload directory for a total of approximately 250MB.

Would that be too much for the script to handle?

Hiya-- I am running WP 3.1 RC2 and the plugin tried to delete all images (even attached to posts).

Could you please update the plugin or mention which piece of code to look at to fix it? ;)

Looking forward to using this plugin for some massive cleanup!

Hi, great plugin, I have one concern though. I'm adding images to the meta data fields of my posts. This however isn't recognized by the upload janitor plugin. Is it possible to change this in future versions of the plugin so that images added to the metadata fields of posts are left untouched.

Thanks for your time.
