VX orphanImages plugin
VX orphanImages plugin scans your Joomla! site images folder to find items, which are not used in any content on site. It uses the Joomla! core Media component to mark found orphaned images in the list, so you can decide whether to keep or remove them. At least two reasons to get rid of orpahed images on site:
- Security. If you have found the image, which is not used anywhere in articles or custom HTML modules, it's a reason to check why it is stored in this folder at all? Sometimes it can be a sign of unauthorized uploading by staff, or by "stuff".
- Sanity. After some time of site operation, it may happen, that images from unpublished or trashed articles are still kept in the storage, fogging the list and occupying substantial amount of disk space. You may wish to clean them up, or at least be aware that they are not used in the content.
Some features of the VX orphanImages plugin:
- Can be used with any conventional Joomla administrator template.
- Easy installation. You don't need programming knowledge or special skills. Simply install the VX orphanImages plugin via native extension management interface.
- NO HACK, which means the extension does not hurt your Joomla core. It is important for future Joomla upgrades or security updates.
- Multilingual support
