<p>This plugin allows you to examine all files within the <code>uploads</code> 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.</p>
<p>Moreover, you can utilize FTP to upload files directly to the <code>uploads</code> directory and subsequently add these files to the Media Library avoiding any file size limitations.</p>
<h4>Disclaimers</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>“1 file first”<br />
Please try to import only one file first – to see if it works as you expected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>“All at once”<br />
This plugin is designed for scanning, selecting, and importing <strong>all files at once</strong>. However, based on your server’s configuration, memory, and timeout challenges may arise with extensive file quantities. To mitigate this, a newly revamped <a href="https://mediasyncplugin.com/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=base_plugin&utm_campaign=aao" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a> employs incremental directory scans to effectively tackle these issues.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>“Your setup is unique”<br />
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. After investigating, kindly provide a detailed description of your findings in the Support section (or <a href="https://users.freemius.com/store/6428/support" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> if you’re using pro version). The more comprehensive the details, the higher the likelihood of resolving the problem effectively.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Ignored files</h4>
<ul>
<li>various hidden files (.DS_Store, .htaccess),</li>
<li>WP generated thumbnails (files ending with for example -100×100.jpg),</li>
<li>WP generated scaled images (files ending with -scaled),</li>
<li>optimized .webp versions of original images (.jpg.webp),</li>
<li>retina thumbnails (-100×100@2x.jpg).</li>
</ul>
<p>These can be modified and enhanced using the new advanced filters available in the <a href="https://mediasyncplugin.com/?utm_source=readme&utm_medium=base_plugin&utm_campaign=df" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a>.</p>
<h4>Media Sync Pro features</h4>

<li><strong>Revised incremental scan</strong>: Allows scanning and importing unlimited number of files.</li>

Media Sync

The settings are easy to understand. I love that you can drill down and pick a specific folder to see the media there, and that you can do a dry run without saving changes. It's really well-thought-out, and perfect if you have the specific need to import media from the filesystem into new records in the database. 

Works perfectly

I love how it just works with little to no configuration

It just works


Needed a quick import after FTP upload. Worked as described. Thanks.


Worked perfectly!


Easy to set up and re-import of all media files possible. 


Works great

Simple plugin to scan "uploads" directory and bring those files into Media Library.

<p>Backup your entire WordPress site and its database into a zip file on a schedule.  Remote storage options include FTP, SFTP and FTPS.</p>
<p>CYAN Backup is a fork of the great <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/total-backup/" rel="ugc">Total Backup</a> by <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/wokamoto/" rel="nofollow ugc">wokamoto</a>.</p>
<p>Currently support schedules are hourly, daily, weekly and monthly with intervals for each (for example you could select a schedule of every 4 hours or every 6 weeks, etc.).</p>
<p><strong>PHP5 Required</strong></p>
<h4>Localization</h4>
<p>CYAN Backup is fully ready to be translated in to any supported languages, if you have translated into your language, please let me know.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Configure the archive path which specifies the directory to store your backups to.  This must be writeable by the web server but should not be accessible via the web as a hacker could guess the filename and get a copy copy of your database.  If you must place the backups in a directory inside of the WordPress directory (or web server root) make sure to block extenal access via .htaccess or other means.  The default path is the directory for the temp files returned by sys_get_temp_dir().</p>
<p>Configure the excluded paths which specify the directories you don’t want to back up.  The default excluded directories are:</p>
<ul>
<li>wp-content/cache/ : the directory for the cache files used by WP super cache and so on.</li>
<li>wp-content/tmp/ : the directory for the cache files used by DB Cache Reloaded Fix so on.</li>
<li>wp-content/upgrade/ : the directory for the temp files used by the WordPress upgrade function.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have configured your archive path below the main WordPress directory you MUST add it to the list of excluded directories as well.</p>
<p>Activate and configure the scheduler if you want to backup on a regular basis.  Schedule options include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hourly (Backup your site every X hours, an hourly backup with an interval of 12 would run a backup twice a day).</li>
<li>Daily (Backup your site every X days at a specific time.</li>
<li>Weekly (Backup your site every X weeks at a specific day and time, for example every second Tuesday at 4am).</li>
<li>Monthly (Backup your site every X months on a specific day and time, for example the 1st day of the month at 4am).</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also enable auto pruning of old backups by setting the number of backup files you want to keep.</p>
<p>Backing up your site can take a while, you will want to ensure your PHP and webserver are configured to allow for the backup script to run long enough to complete the backup..</p>
<p>Once a backup is complete you can download the backup files from the links in Backup page.  You can delete old backup files by checking one or more boxes in the backup list and then clicking the Delete button.</p>
<p>The backup file of DB is included in the zip file as {the directory name of WordPress}.yyyymmdd.hhmmss.sql.</p>
<h3>Road Map</h3>
<ul>
<li>2.5 – Dropbox support</li>
<li>3.0 – Restore support</li>
