Este plugin **no ha sido probado con ninguna las 3 últimas versiones principales
de WordPress**. Puede que ya no se mantenga o no tenga soporte, y puede que tenga
problemas de compatibilidad cuando se utiliza con versiones más recientes de WordPress.

## Descripción

#### Delete thumbnails & resized images from your Media Library

 * Delete some or all of WordPress’s resized images (thumbnails, medium, and large,
   plus extra ones Plugins/Themes make secretly)
 * This can clear thousands of unwanted files from your uploads directory
 * Useful if you’ve had lots of different theme/plugins over the years, and inadvertently
   accumulated a vast number of resized images that are no longer used by your site

#### Take careful note

 1. Deleting is permanent
 2. You can use [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
    to regenerate your Media Library after (as WordPress will need the default sizes)

#### Please Note

 * 🍺 This is a **recently revived and re-written plugin**, the bad reviews were
   correct for the old versions, but not current version. If you experience any 
   issues, please open a support request, I’m happy to help fix any issues and help
   plugin grow.

### Road Map

#### The current todo list

 * [ ] Add css animation/color to nag inputs when clicking disabled button
 * [ ] Add `count($this->library)` result as ‘exempt’ in main info banner to assure
   Media Library items are safe
 * [ ] Add size range filters (ie: delete resized that are within x – y restraints)
 * [ ] Make `View` link work off of a Lightbox instead of a new browser tab
 * [ ] Please add any additional requests into the Support tab.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Install the plugin from your Plugin browser, or download the plugin and extract
    the files and upload `delete-thumbnails` to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. View the _Delete Thumbnails_ interface under _Tools_ in your WordPress Admin

  What parameters are used to determine if a image is resized?

After looking at all files in the WordPress uploads directory, a file is determined
as resized when three criteria are meet:

 1. It’s an image
 2. The file URL is not a main WordPress Media Library file
 3. The filename ends with `-###-###.`

  What is this warning about `chmod` about?

The method of deletion only works when the server allows PHP to edit the folders
contents. CHMOD is the permission settings for files and folders. If you’ve received
a warning of this, the CHMOD on the upload directory is too low.

  It says I have no resized images, but I do

Please note this is a new plugin (rewritten summer 2017), this plugin was developed
and tested in only two server environments – variables on your setup may of not 
been considered while developing. Please open a request in the Support tab and provide
as much info as you’re willing to give to help resolve this issue and ensure this
plugin works on all setups:

 * WordPress & PHP version
 * Location of directory
 * Wether or not files are stored in year/month sub folders
 * ect.

  How do I backup my files?

The plugin insists on backups as it removes files permanently, you can ignore and
bypass, however you should always [backup your WordPress installation](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups#Backing_Up_Your_WordPress_Site)

Really helpful plugin A future development would be to choose what type of thumbnail
to delete. Still perfect as it is.
