20264 releases

  1. Media Sync 1.5.3Latest

    • Compatibility with WordPress 7.1 client-side media processing. Files that WordPress 7.1 creates alongside an upload (the original HEIC image kept next to its JPEG version, and the video and poster image generated from an animated GIF) are now correctly recognized as already being in the Media Libra…
    • Also recognizes images edited in the Media Library (crop, rotate) as already imported.
    • Tested for WordPress 7.1.

  2. Media Sync 1.5.2
