I’ve used WordPress for close to twenty years, yet after installing this plugin looking at the settings, I somehow am not even seeing a button that starts a cleaning process.
There is a link to the Cleaner Dashboard the top of the Settings.
Maybe I missed something, I know I will?read the tutorial? Oops that link cannot be found.
Sorry about that. I fixed the link but I do not want to release a new version just for this, so I will wait to have a few more issues fixed before I do that. That said, if you google “media cleaner tutorial”, you’ll find it quite easily (and youtube videos as well, which I haven’t checked myself, but they are probably helpful).
First impressions matter, and I’ve got nothing to show for spending my time installing a “free” plugin that appears to be a bait for an upgrade.
I took the time to develop this over many years, and still to reply to your comment, I am taking feedback seriously ?? It’s a not a bait for an upgrade. The plugin works well, both Free and Pro. The Pro supports additional image use cases and detections for other paid plugins (which I wouldn’t be able to support otherwise).
You have 20y of experience with WordPress, so I am pretty sure you understand how difficult it is to build and maintain such a plugin (especially over the years), to recognize how images are used and by what. Nobody else does it, and there is a reason, is that besides the difficulty, most people do not see as difficult, easily criticize the plugin, hurt the developer, and others have abandoned. Honestly, this is a challenge, but the plugin does wonders. The users need to go a bit beyond the surface however, hence the warnings.
