Export Media URLs vs Photo Engine (Media Organizer & Lightroom)

The fastest way to pull a complete inventory of your WordPress Media Library. Export every attachment’s details — pick exactly the columns you want from grouped, collapsible field sections with quick-select presets — then download a CSV or JSON file, or display the results in a paginated table right inside the dashboard. A separate Media Tools tab helps you audit and clean up the library. Invaluable for migrations, SEO and accessibility audits, and library cleanup. The export is built to survive real-world content: every record stays on a single CSV line even when your captions contain line breaks, commas and quotes are escaped to the CSV standard, the delimiter is switchable for Excel in European locales, and text that was mangled by an old character set (“’” instead of “’”) can be repaired on the way out. Media Tools Each tool lives on its own sub-tab and processes the library in pages (100, 250, 500, 1000 or All per page), so the scans stay fast and light even on libraries with thousands of items. Storage summary — attachment counts per media type, read straight from the database (instant) Missing file detector — find attachments whose file is gone from disk (e.g. after a bad migration) Duplicate detection — find files that are byte-for-byte identical (matched by size and content hash; choose “All” for a complete cross-library scan) Heavy image flags — spot oversized images (large file size or pixel dimensions) that slow your pages Bulk alt-text editing — review and update alt text image by image, page by page, with missing alt text highlighted You can export each media item’s: ID Title File Name URL File Size MIME Type Dimensions (width x height) Thumbnail / Medium / Large image URLs Caption Alt Text Alt Missing (flag — quickly find images with no alt text) Description Uploaded To (Parent) and Uploaded To URL — where the file was first uploaded Used In (count), Used In (posts), Used In (URLs), Used In (post ID) and Used In (post type) — every post that actually references the item Unused (flag — items not found in any post’s content) Date Uploaded The data can be filtered by media type (images, video, audio, documents, archives), by attachment status (attached vs. unattached/orphaned), by author, and between a date range before extraction. You can also export a specific item range to keep each request small on very large libraries. When do we need this plugin? To check all Media URLs of your website During a migration (and to confirm everything moved across) During an SEO or accessibility audit (find images missing alt text) To clean up orphaned media imported by a theme demo During a security audit Customizable Features Choose exactly which columns to export, grouped with quick-select presets (Migration, SEO/Accessibility, Cleanup, Full) Download as CSV or JSON, or display the results in a paginated table Filter by media type, attachment status, author and date range Export a specific item range (helpful on very large libraries) Custom or randomly generated download file name Choose the CSV delimiter (comma, semicolon or tab) and keep every record on a single line Repair mis-encoded characters and decode HTML entities on the way out, optionally folding typographic punctuation to plain ASCII Report usage as one row per media item or one row per usage, and optionally scan custom fields and page-builder data Remembers your last field selection CSV and JSON downloads stream straight to the browser, leaving nothing behind in wp-content/uploads System requirements PHP version 5.4 or higher WordPress version 3.6 or higher Feedback If you like this plugin, then please consider leaving us a good rating.

Media Organizer. You can now organize your photos in folders and collections. From those collections, you will be able to create galleries easily, without the need of a specific plugin. Synchronize with Lightroom. Upload and keep your photos, collections, keywords and metadata synchronized with WordPress. Then, for instance, modifying your photos, their quality, or changing your watermark on all of them at once will be easy! Learn more about it all here: Photo Engine. Media Organizer You can use attributes (collections=’…’, keywords=’…’) in the standard WP Gallery shortcode to link your galleries to your collections and keywords. No need to own a specific plugin or anything, it works naturally with WordPress. The Meow Gallery and the Meow Lightbox are recommended to enhance your galleries with better layouts and options. They can directly get your collections. Synchronize with Lightroom If your plan is to synchronize Lightroom with WordPress, you will also need the WP/LR Sync Plugin for Lightroom. Please have a look at the official website of Photo Engine for more information. Do you have many photos in your WordPress already and they are not linked with your Lightroom? No problem, Photo Engine can do that too. Using EXIF and image perceptual analysis, the plugin will help you linking them through a process call Total Synchronization or you can do it manually. The process is explained here: Total Synchronization. You are using a certain photo everywhere but you now have a better one? From Lightroom, you can swap one photo to another and this will be replicated automatically on your WordPress. You have nothing else to do. The module is called “Switch Photos” in Lightroom. Support for Themes and Plugins If you are using specific gallery plugins or photography themes, Photo Engine can bring all the power of Lightroom to them, magically, seamlessly. You will be free to choose the theme or gallery plugin you like the best and even switch between them. Photo Engine has a built-in extensions system so that you can extend it easily and support specific themes and plugins. A powerful extension called “Post Types” is already included and probably does everything you need. More information about it here: Post Types Extension. API & External Apps There is an external API available through Photo Engine that iPhone, Android developers or anybody else can use to make apps. There is one available for iPhone, you can search for it on the iTunes Store (it is not free, and not made by Meow Apps). Unique & Powerful Plugin I am myself an user of this plugin and even though it is the only one, I want to make it better every day. If you have issues, frustrations, or anything to say, contact me. I will work hard to make it even more awesome. Languages: English, Spanish (by Nahuai Badiola). If you want to translate the plugin in another language, please contact me 🙂
