Need to know which posts, builders, or meta fields still reference an image—or which uploads are safe to remove?
ProgMaze Media Scanner runs a deep scan 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 where each file is used and what is unused.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Full site scan — Scans all post types, pages, custom post types, templates, and reusable blocks.</li>
<li>Gutenberg aware — 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>Page builder support — Scans media used in Gutenberg, Avada, Elementor, and similar setups that store IDs or URLs in content or meta.</li>
<li>Featured image tracking — Detects when a media item is used as a featured image on any post or custom post type.</li>
<li>Post meta scanning — Finds media in ACF fields, WooCommerce product galleries, and other plugins that store attachment IDs or URLs in meta.</li>
<li>Usage detail view — 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>Safe deletion — Only unused media can be deleted directly; used items can be detached first or removed with Detach & Delete.</li>
<li>Bulk delete — Remove multiple unused items in one action.</li>
<li>Incremental updates — Saving a post re-scans that post only, keeping the cache fresh without a full rescan.</li>
<li>Filters — All / Used / Unused, mime type filters, and search by filename.</li>
<li>Library overview — 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>
When you run Scan All Media, 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.
On Media → ProgMaze Media Scanner, filter by used or unused, narrow by type, search by filename, use View Usage for details, and delete or Detach & Delete as needed. Deletions are permanent—back up first.
