<p>WP Smart Image II is a WordPress plugin which gives you a whole control over the thumbnails that you wish to show with posts and pages (e.g. the index of a website).</p>
<p>This plugin combines the best image management functionalities in WordPress and turn their handling in a very easy job.</p>
<h4>How works WP Smart Image II</h4>
<p>WP Smart Image II takes all WordPress image functions and put on your hands in a simple and right way.</p>
<h4>“Right way”?… Are there wrong ways to show post images?</h4>
<p>Yes! Custom fields (e.g.) is a very wrong and annoying way to do this job. If you are used custom fields to assign images to posts, with WP Smart Image II will forget all the extra work and will enjoy the real process automation that has been in WordPress all this time and probably you never knew existed.</p>
<h4>What’s the problem with WordPress native image engine?</h4>
<p>No problem! Otherwise, the <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress</a> image engine is one of the most advanced and flexible ones so far. WordPress offers a wide range of functionalities and tags, which allows for and easy handling of images and files, associating them with posts, categories, pages and other elements with total freedom.</p>
<p>However, the problem with all these funcionalities is that finding the propper way to associate data and get a specific result can get really hard. In an attempt to do that, many people have tried to do it by setting through custom fields, ignoring that WordPress has a large platform with many resources at our disposal to do that.</p>
<h4>What isn’t Wp Smart Image II?</h4>
<p>It is not a filter that works inside the content. WP Smart Image II only works in the template areas and it’s use is focused to the template’s file system.</p>
<p>It is not a plugin that changes other functionalities behaviour. It’s a resource that lets you take advantage of the already existing functionalities provided by WordPress.</p>

<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>
<h3>Compatibility and Third-Party Support</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce" rel="ugc">WooCommerce</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a></li>
<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!

Great Replacement for the Old Plugin

Remove child attachments when parent post, page or custom post type is deleted.
