Checking Media Usage CountEvery media file in your library comes with a usage counter showing how often and where it appears across your site. Mediapapa add an optional column in the List view. Or you can see this counter in the optimization modal by clicking any media in the Library.
Click on this usage counter to open a modal showing you where your media is used. Then click on a post page or custom post type to go directly to it.
What are the content supported ?Mediapapa support :
Options
Classic and Editor content types
User meta and fields
Post meta and fields
Term meta and fields
ACF metadata (users, options, post, term), repeaters and flexible content.
When saving these kinds of objects, Mediapapa will try to find occurrences of media of your website into it. We search for the urls and for the ID that can be stored into your database.
Multisite is also supported. Every website have its own indexing table, so all sites are independent.
Warnings Before Deleting Used MediaIf you attempt to delete a file that is still in use, Mediapapa will show a warning message first.
The alert tells you the file is linked to existing content.
A list of posts/pages where the media is used is displayed.
You can then decide whether to cancel the action or delete the file anyway.
This prevents broken layouts and missing images across your site.
Identify Unused or Orphaned MediaMediapapa also helps you spot orphaned media files, files that aren’t used anywhere on your site.
In the Media Library, filter by Unused media.
Review the list to select the ones you don’t need anymore.
Delete safely with confidence, knowing that unused files won’t affect published content.
This process saves storage space, improves performance, and makes your media library easier to manage.
