Media Tracker changelog and version history

202626 releases

1. Media Tracker 1.4.1Latest

   Oct 7, 2026
   • Performance: Unused media scan is now much faster on large sites — attachment URL to post ID lookups rewritten from one database query per file (O(n²)) to a single batched query (up to 500 URLs per query)
   • Fixed: Unused Media page no longer shows everything hidden on first visit — the “Scan Unused Media” and “Remove all unused media” buttons are now always visible, even before the first scan
   • Fixed: Scan progress can no longer hang at 99% — if the background scan process dies (host timeout, disabled cron), the scan is automatically re-scheduled and closes gracefully if it cannot continue
   • Fixed: Duplicate media footer action buttons now display white icons correctly
