My images disappeared after migrating my WordPress site. Can this help?

Visit the Support Forum to share your questions or requests. We usually respond to tickets within a few days. Feature requests are added to our wish list and considered for future updates. Yes! This is the most common use case. After site migration, files exist in your uploads folder but WordPress database entries are missing. Media Library Recovery scans your files and rebuilds the database entries to restore your Media Library.

I transferred to new hosting and lost my WordPress media library. What do I do?

Install Media Library Recovery, go to Media > Media Recovery, and the plugin shows all files on your server missing from WordPress database. Select and recover them in batches of 10 until your entire Media Library is restored.

How is this different from WordPress backup plugins?

Backup plugins restore entire WordPress sites. Media Library Recovery specializes in recovering media files when they exist on your server but are missing from WordPress database - common after migrations, hosting transfers, or partial database restores.

Why can I only recover 10 WordPress files at a time?

The free version processes 10 files per batch to prevent server timeouts. Run multiple batches to recover unlimited total files. Pro version offers unlimited batch sizes with background processing.

Will I get duplicate files in WordPress?

No, Media Library Recovery won't duplicate or overwrite existing WordPress image files. Plugin only rebuilds database entries for orphaned files missing from Media Library.

Is this compatible with WordPress Multisite?

WordPress Multisite support is available in Media Library Recovery Pro. The free version works on single WordPress installations only.

Which folders are scanned for lost WordPress media?

The free version scans only the default wp-content/uploads folder. Pro version allows custom upload folder paths for WordPress.

Can I recover all WordPress media file types?

The free version restores image files only. Pro version supports all WordPress media types including videos, PDFs, documents, and audio files.

Does this upload files to my WordPress server?

No, Media Library Recovery never uploads or overwrites files. It only scans existing files on your WordPress server and rebuilds database entries to reconnect them to Media Library.

What happens during WordPress media recovery process?

Plugin scans your uploads folder, identifies orphaned files, then rebuilds WordPress database entries including attachment posts, metadata, and thumbnail references. Files remain on server unchanged - only database connections are restored.

Can I recover WordPress media after database restore?

Yes, if you restored WordPress database from backup but files remained on server, Media Library Recovery reconnects those orphaned files to your restored database automatically.

My WordPress staging site lost media after database pull. Will this fix it?

Yes, pulling production database to staging often orphans media files. Media Library Recovery scans staging server files and rebuilds database entries to restore WordPress Media Library on staging.

Does this work with custom WordPress upload folders?

Custom upload folder scanning is available in Pro version. The free version scans default wp-content/uploads directory only.

Can I see which WordPress files are orphaned before recovering?

Yes, Media Explorer shows all files with color-coded status. Orange icons indicate orphaned files missing from WordPress database. Green checkmarks show files already in Media Library.

Will this fix broken WordPress image links in posts?

If images exist on your server but show broken in posts due to missing database entries, yes. Media Library Recovery rebuilds database connections. If actual image files are deleted from server, plugin cannot recover them.

How long does WordPress media recovery take?

Recovery speed depends on batch size and server performance. Processing 10 images typically takes seconds. Run multiple batches for large WordPress media libraries with hundreds of orphaned files.
