Deskripsi

You can scan all files that are in uploads directory and see which ones are actually in Media Library and which ones are just sitting there. Then you can select files you want to import to the database and therefore make them available in Media Library.

You can also use FTP to upload your files to uploads directory and bring those files into Media Library.

Disclaimers

Please read before adding a support topic. Reviews are not intended for support or suggestions.

“For developers”
This plugin makes database changes (wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables), and it was primarily developed to help other developers that are aware of the consequences.
“1 file first”
Please be careful and try to import only one file first, to see if it works.
“All at once”
This plugin is focused on scanning, selecting, and importing all files at once. So it might not be great for huge amounts of files, since it can use up a lot of memory. Future versions will hopefully solve that problem. For now, you can try to go to Settings -> Media Sync and set it to scan only a specific directory.
“Your setup is unique”
Please keep in mind that each WordPress installation is unique, so it’s quite possible this plugin will not work in your case. If that happens, please turn on debugging in settings of this plugin, try to figure out why you have that problem, and then describe what you found in the Support section. The more details we have – it’s more likely the problem will be solved.

Ignored files

index.php,
various hidden files (.DS_Store, .htaccess),
WP generated thumbnails (files ending with for example -100×100.jpg),
WP generated scaled images (files ending with -scaled).

This is now configurable with a custom hook function and it can totally overwrite these rules or add additional ones.

Tanya Jawab

Stuck at importing / spins endlessly: Please try to increase max_execution_time (and/or memory_limit) in php.ini on server (as described here). Or if you have too many files, try going to Settings -> Media Sync and change “Scan directory” to some inner folder.
Files not showing up in Media Library: Please make sure “Dry Run” option is NOT checked. This is a safety mechanism to make sure you know what you’re doing, so be careful, try it first with just one file.
Doesn’t work: Please first try to turn on debugging by adding this: define('WP_DEBUG', true); to your wp-config.php and check Network tab in Chrome DevTools to see what is going on in the background. Then report actual errors since it’s hard to help without knowing the error which is causing the problem.

It totally fixed the issues I was having on my site with the image library. Worked like a charm!

Saved me tons of time, and the Smart File Time feature is brilliant. Thank you!

Found some files that were on the server and not in the library, and could tell where the duplicates were as well. I appreciate the feature that adds the date to the file based on the folder it was in, so old media doesn't get added to today's folder.

I have committed my code to SVN including file in upload/, And on another machine checkout that SVN repo, all the files in the upload were present in that new machine, but wasn't showing under media menu. I used this plugin and within just 3 steps all my files were showing under media menu. Thanks! it saved my whole lot of trouble and time.

Besides working great as-is, I wanted to "auto-connect" my imported media to my WooCommerce Products via the SKU (which is in the filename). I saw a way to hook the plugin so I could do this. Erol was very receptive to the idea, and we got it done. If anyone has a similar need, let me know. My filter code might be useful to you.

The interface is a bit confusing and janky. It does at least tell you to backup your site first, although it would be nice to have a built in revert function. The real problem is that it doesn't generate the thumbnails of newly imported files, so you end up with a bunch of generic icons in your Media library. It's not an all-in-one solution.
