What Our Clients Say
Testimonials
"Stress reliever. Many thanks. Worked well after a monumental mistake!"
"What a time saver this plugin is, saved me hundreds of hours finding and rebuilding media libraries."
"A lifesaver. Had to recover several sites after a ransomware attack. Was able to get the photos and CSS, but not the database, from the old site. Thus was able to get all the old media and images into the WordPress Database for each newly constructed site."
"Over the years, through all the updates, since 2010, I have lost many images. Although, it is primarily for my own bookmarkng purposes, I am glad I found this plugin to restore some of the media files I’ve lost. After testing on my personal site, I feel comfortable using it again for clients as the need arises."
"When my WordPress database vanished, I had to start over from scratch with a new install. The uploads folder was still there, but no longer recognized in the new, empty, Media library. This plugin allowed me to easily recover all of the photos and restore the Media. And it works fine with version 5.8 of WP. Thanks!"
"I’ve spent a FULL DAY trying different plugins and methods to reconnect my Serve Uploads to the Media Library after a migration from one server to another. Thankfully, the images were still on the new Server. But this plugin did it in Nearly NO Time At All! … It even hid the few images that HAD survived the migration to the Media Library so I knew which were NOT necessary to upload. … Thank You Very Much for the Great Plugin!"
