Our analysis
AI-assistedMediaMan is a WordPress plugin designed to help you identify where images are used across your site. When you select an image in the Media Library, it displays a section titled 'Where is it used' in the image details, showing you the relevant pages and posts. This can assist in managing your media by identifying unused or overused images.
The plugin scans the database for images used in various ways, including within posts, as featured images, and in Advanced Custom Fields. However, it does not track images linked directly in code or used externally, such as in email signatures or on other websites.
Best for: This plugin suits website owners who need to manage their media library effectively.
What it does well
- ✓Displays where images are used in the Media Library
- ✓Helps identify unused and duplicate images
- ✓No configuration needed after installation
- ✓Compatible with ACF and WooCommerce
Where it falls short
- •Does not find images linked in custom code
- •Cannot track images used on external sites
Verdict
MediaMan offers a straightforward solution for tracking image usage within WordPress. It is useful for those looking to clean up their media library, though it has limitations regarding external image links.
From the developer
Chris Burns's own description of MediaMan, lightly tidied.
Wondering if this image is even used on your site? Can it safely be deleted?
Or you need to update an image, but not sure which pages will be affected?
You’re curious if you’ve used this image too many times…
With this plugin, when choosing an image in the Media Library, you’ll see a section “Where is it used” in the image details on the right.
Limitations
This plugin scans the database for the image — that means it will find the image when you’ve inserted it using the WordPress admin, such as:
- Content inside a Page/Post/Custom Post type
- Featured images
- ACF fields
- Site Icon (favicon)
That also means it WON’T find places where the image is used outside of the admin, such as:
* Code (PHP, HTML, CSS that you wrote that links directly to the image)
* Other websites that link to it
* The image used in your email signature
Tested plugins that are compatible
- ACF
- WooCommerce
Do you use a plugin that manages images on your site but this plugin doesn’t see them? Let me know and I can figure out how to include those images in the search.
Features
- View where any image is used across your WordPress site
- Notes on where to look for the image so it’s easier to find on the edit screen (Feature image? Page content? ACF field?)
- Quick links to edit and view the page contianing the image
- No configuration needed – just install and activate
Use Cases
- Find unused images that can be safely deleted
- Audit duplicate images so you can decide which one to keep
- Locate where specific images are being used
- Notice images that are over-used (pick a different image for some more variety)
- Identify orphaned images
- Track featured image usage
