What about images attached to a custom post type?

    Hi, I’m at the NTC WordPress Day and trying out this plugin you mentioned – sounds really useful. But before I hit the switch…

    Once duplicate images are removed, will images attached to custom post types have their urls fixed? Or just posts and pages?

    For example, I’m using a slideshow plugin that creates a custom post type – what’s likely to happen to it when dups are removed?

  • Hi Jason,

    Sorry for the delayed response. Right now, Deduper will simply delete the media file(s), with no accounting for how those files might be appearing in the site —?as featured images, within gallery shortcodes, custom fields, etc. If your images are being deployed in lots of different ways, you can expect some “holes” in places as the media items will have been deleted without any record of where they went, so to speak.

    Hopefully next week we’ll have the new version out that’s much smarter about handling Featured Images (for all content types). It won’t resolve issues with sliders, shortcodes, custom fields, and the like, but will at least keep posts from losing their primary thumbnails during deduplication.

    Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for the new version.
