<p>Need to know which posts, builders, or meta fields still reference an image—or which uploads are safe to remove?</p>
<p><strong>ProgMaze Media Scanner</strong> runs a <strong>deep scan</strong> of your site: it walks public post types (including templates), reads <code>post_content</code> and <code>post_meta</code>, parses Gutenberg-style block data, URLs, featured images, and nested serialized or JSON values so you get a clear picture of <strong>where each file is used</strong> and what is <strong>unused</strong>.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full site scan</strong> — Scans all post types, pages, custom post types, templates, and reusable blocks.</li>
<li><strong>Gutenberg aware</strong> — Parses block JSON attributes (core/image, core/gallery, core/cover, core/video, core/file, core/media-text, and more) to find media IDs.</li>
<li><strong>Page builder support</strong> — Scans media used in Gutenberg, Avada, Elementor, and similar setups that store IDs or URLs in content or meta.</li>
<li><strong>Featured image tracking</strong> — Detects when a media item is used as a featured image on any post or custom post type.</li>
<li><strong>Post meta scanning</strong> — Finds media in ACF fields, WooCommerce product galleries, and other plugins that store attachment IDs or URLs in meta.</li>
<li><strong>Usage detail view</strong> — Open any item to see every post that uses it, with Edit and View links and usage type (content, featured image, meta, gallery, setting).</li>
<li><strong>Safe deletion</strong> — Only unused media can be deleted directly; used items can be detached first or removed with <strong>Detach & Delete</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Bulk delete</strong> — Remove multiple unused items in one action.</li>
<li><strong>Incremental updates</strong> — Saving a post re-scans that post only, keeping the cache fresh without a full rescan.</li>
<li><strong>Filters</strong> — All / Used / Unused, mime type filters, and search by filename.</li>
<li><strong>Library overview</strong> — On the main screen: total storage, image vs non-image space, space by file type (bars), largest uploads, and most-referenced media (cached for performance).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported for</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress Gutenberg (core blocks)</li>
<li>Elementor</li>
<li>Avada</li>
<li>ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)</li>
<li>WooCommerce (featured image + gallery)</li>
<li>Builders that store media URLs or IDs in <code>post_content</code> or <code>post_meta</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>When you run <strong>Scan All Media</strong>, the plugin rebuilds its usage cache: it inspects content and meta for attachment IDs, upload URLs, <code>_thumbnail_id</code>, WooCommerce galleries, and nested structures. Each link is stored with a usage type. Saving a post triggers a targeted re-scan for that post only.</p>
<p>On <strong>Media <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> ProgMaze Media Scanner</strong>, filter by used or unused, narrow by type, search by filename, use <strong>View Usage</strong> for details, and delete or <strong>Detach & Delete</strong> as needed. Deletions are permanent—back up first.</p>
