<p>Autoremove Attachments helps you keep the Media Library clean by deleting all media files attached as child attachments to a post, page, or custom post type when the parent is deleted.</p>
<p>By default, when you delete content from your website, regardless if it’s a post, a page, a product, or any kind of post type, WordPress keeps the media files previously associated with it, even if after the removal of your content they are not used anywhere else.</p>
<p>Autoremove Attachments tries to solve this problem by automating the removal of all media files that have a child-parent relationship with the removed content. (so you don’t have to manually track and remove orphan files left on your server)</p>
<h3>Important Considerations</h3>
<ul>
<li>A soft delete that places your post, page, or custom post type in Trash will not trigger the removal of its child attachments. The purge happens when you empty your trash.</li>
<li>When you delete a post, page or custom post type, we try to determine if its child attachments are used anywhere else on your website. If they are, we do not remove them, to prevent broken links.</li>
<li>The additional checks before the automatic removal can be disabled from the Media Settings for improved performance on large websites with thousands of posts and media files.</li>
<li>The plugin only removes files tracked by WordPress. Some poorly coded themes generate additional thumbnail sizes that are not tracked by WordPress and this always leads to orphan files left on your server.</li>
</ul>

<li>All themes and plugins that do things the WordPress way</li>
</ul>
<p>If you use a plugin to optimize and clean your database of revisions, trashed posts, etc, make sure you use one that relies on native WordPress functions to perform the maintenance tasks. We recommend <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sweep" rel="ugc">WP-Sweep</a>.</p>

NICE. Love it! The fact that it purges images upon deletion rocks the house. Thank you for developing this!

<p>This plugin allow you to grab image from remote url and save into your own word press media library. By doing so, you never worried if the remote image was removed by its owner. This also save you steps to download the image to local computer and upload again to your own WordPress. There is also a JavaScript bookmarklet that helps to automate the process if you are surfing the internet and find something you would like to add to the library</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically downloads and adds the file to the media library.</li>
<li>After the uploading is successful, you are redirected to the edit screen</li>
<li>Once the bookmarklet is installed you don’t even need to copy and paste a url (just navigate to the url and select the bookmark).</li>
</ul>

LH Add Media From Url

It does not work when the URL contains spaces. Luckily I can change the URL so I can workaround the issue, but it would be much better if it worked out of the box with any valid URL. Five stars if you fix it.



It nearly works

Upload files from an url to wordpress media library, either enter file urls in an onsite input box or click a bookmarklet.
