The plugin focuses on standard WordPress locations and intentionally does not delete files, change content, create database tables, track users, or call external services. Supported reference checks in version 1.1.0: * Post, page, and custom post type content or excerpts that contain the original media URL, a generated image-size URL, or the WordPress `wp-image-ID` class. * Core WordPress media blocks that store attachment IDs: Image, Gallery, Cover, Media & Text, File, Audio, and Video. * Featured images stored with WordPress core `_thumbnail_id` metadata. * Navigation menu custom URLs that exactly match the original media URL or a generated image-size URL. * WordPress Site Icon and Site Logo settings. * Active theme Custom Logo, Header Image, and Background Image settings, including generated image-size URL variants where applicable. Scan results include the post ID for content references to make follow-up checks easier. The results are advisory. A result of «no references found» does not prove that a file is unused. Themes, page builders, custom database tables, external systems, custom code, or plugin-specific storage can reference media in other ways. #### Privacy Media Reference Inspector does not send data to external services and does not add tracking or analytics. It stores no plugin settings or scan history. ## Installasjon 1. Upload the `media-reference-inspector` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate Media Reference Inspector. 3. Go to Media > Media References. 4. Choose a media item and select «Find References». ## Ofte stilte spørsmål ### Does this plugin delete media files? No. The plugin is intentionally read-only. It does not delete, detach, rename, replace, or modify media. ### Does «no references found» mean the file is safe to delete? No. The plugin checks a focused set of standard WordPress locations. Custom builders, plugins, themes, custom tables, external applications, and custom code may store references elsewhere. ### Which WordPress blocks are detected by attachment ID? Version 1.1.0 recognizes the core Image, Gallery, Cover, Media & Text, File, Audio, and Video blocks when their saved block attributes reference the selected Media Library item. ### Does the plugin detect resized image URLs? Yes. For image attachments, version 1.1.0 also checks URLs for generated image sizes recorded in WordPress attachment metadata, in addition to the main attachment URL. ### Does the plugin use an external service or API? No. All checks run locally in the WordPress admin area against the site’s own WordPress data. ### Who can use the scanner? Version 1.1.0 requires the `manage_options` capability because scan results can reveal references to content that is not publicly visible. ### Does uninstalling the plugin remove anything? The plugin stores no settings or scan history, so there is no plugin data to remove. ## Vurderinger Det er ingen omtaler av denne utvidelsen. ## Bidragsytere og utviklere «Media Reference Inspector» er programvare med åpen kildekode.
