Beschrijving
TekMedia adds the organisation and cleanup tools the WordPress media library is missing, without asking you to learn a second interface. It looks and behaves like wp-admin, because it is wp-admin.
Organise
- Unlimited nested folders with drag-and-drop reordering
- File shortcuts — put one file in several folders without a second copy on disk
- Search across your whole library or inside one folder
- Select many files at once to move or delete them
- Replace a file while keeping its URL and attachment ID, so every post using it updates automatically
- Import openly licensed photos from Openverse, Pexels or Unsplash straight into a folder
Optimise
- Compress images on your own server — no account, no upload to a third party
- 500 images a month on the free plan, with what is left shown before you start
- Originals are kept, so any optimization can be undone
- Filenames, URLs and attachment IDs never change
Clean up safely
- Scan for files that no post, page, featured image or widget references
- See exactly where a file is used before you touch it
- Find duplicates — identical files, and the same photo re-uploaded at another size
- Nothing is ever deleted without a confirmation that states the consequence in plain numbers
- A recoverable trash: trashed files keep working on your site until you empty it
FAQ
-
Does the unused-media scan read page-builder layouts?
-
No. The free scan reads WordPress post content, featured images and widgets. Files used only inside Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, ACF or Beaver Builder may be flagged as unused, so check those layouts before deleting. Page-builder-aware scanning is a Pro feature.
-
Are my files deleted when I move them to the trash?
-
No. Moving a file to the TekMedia trash hides it from your library but leaves the file itself untouched, so any post using it keeps working. Files are only removed permanently when you empty the trash, or when the retention period you set in Settings expires.
-
What happens to my folders if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Nothing. Deactivating removes no data. Folder structure, trash contents and settings are all preserved, and only removed on uninstall if you have opted in under Settings.
-
Where does image optimization happen?
-
On your own server, using the image library PHP already has. Nothing is uploaded anywhere and no account is needed. That is also why there is a monthly allowance rather than a bill.
-
Will optimizing break the images already on my pages?
-
No. Optimizing rewrites the file in place, so the filename, the URL and the attachment ID all stay the same. If compressing a file would make it bigger — which happens with images that are already well compressed — it is left exactly as it was, and it does not use up part of your allowance.
-
Can I undo an optimization?
-
Yes, as long as “Keep original files” is on, which it is by default. Each optimized image has its original stored alongside, and Restore puts it back.
-
Is a shortcut a copy of the file?
-
No. A shortcut is a pointer, so it uses no extra storage. Deleting a shortcut removes only the pointer — the original file, and every other folder showing it, are untouched.
-
What happens to posts using a duplicate I trash?
-
They are rewritten to use the file you kept, before the copy is trashed. Featured images, images in content, gallery shortcodes and every generated size are all repointed, so nothing breaks. The copies go to the recoverable trash, not straight to deletion.
-
Do Pexels and Unsplash need an account?
-
Openverse does not, and it is the default. Pexels and Unsplash each need a free API key from their developer site, which you paste into Settings. Every imported photo has its credit and licence saved to the caption field automatically.

Changelog
1.2.0
- Media SEO panel: alt text with a character counter, title and caption, and a completeness meter, inside the media detail dialog.
- Suggested filenames derived from your alt text, with one-click rename.
- Bulk rename with a pattern builder, live preview and per-file numbering.
- Renaming keeps the old URL working: every previous name 301-redirects to the current file, including generated thumbnail sizes.
- Storage analytics on the WordPress dashboard — a breakdown by media type, your largest files, and how much is flagged as possibly unused.
- Broken media detection: find library entries whose file is missing from disk, then re-upload the file or remove the entry.
1.1.0
- Image optimization on your own server, with a 500-image monthly allowance, three compression levels and per-file before/after figures.
- Optimize on upload, bulk optimize in the background, and restore any file to its kept original.
- Media usage tracking: see every post, page, featured image and widget that references a file, and act on it from the same panel.
- Duplicate detection matching both identical files and the same picture re-uploaded at another size, reviewed group by group.
- Resolving a duplicate group moves every reference onto the file you keep, so nothing that used a copy breaks.
- File shortcuts: place one file in several folders with no extra storage, badged in the library and safe to remove.
- Stock photo import from Openverse, Pexels and Unsplash, filed straight into a folder with the credit saved to the caption.
- Trash and restore now carry a file’s shortcuts with it.
- Fixed a background-job locking bug that could stall any task needing more than one batch.
