Beschreibung
Webfydev Duplicate Media Guard helps keep your WordPress Media Library clean by preventing duplicate file uploads.
The plugin checks whether a file already exists before it is uploaded. You can choose to compare files using their complete filename (including extension) or compare only the filename while ignoring the extension.
For example:
logo.pngandlogo.pngDuplicatelogo.pngandlogo.jpgDuplicate (when extension check is disabled)banner.webpandbanner.webpDuplicate
This helps eliminate unnecessary duplicate files, reduces media library clutter, and saves server storage.
