About this plugin
Dyadikosnous Media Converter works as a standalone WordPress Media Library tool; WooCommerce is optional. When WooCommerce is active, product, gallery, variation, order-meta, image-size, cache, and HPOS compatibility integrations are enabled automatically.
It provides three deliberate workflows:
- A resumable library conversion with a progress bar.
- Automatic optimization after new image uploads.
- A conservative unused-attachment audit followed by explicit trash or permanent deletion.
The converter keeps the existing attachment ID, so featured images, page-builder media, taxonomy images, and—when WooCommerce is active—product galleries and variation images continue to resolve normally. It regenerates every image size currently registered by WordPress, the theme, and active plugins. Literal old URLs are replaced in pages, posts, custom post types, taxonomy descriptions and metadata, options, JSON, PHP-serialized builder data, and eligible custom prefixed tables.
The 1 MB limit is enforced on the full WebP and all generated sizes. Encoding begins at the preferred quality, lowers quality to the configured floor, then reduces dimensions if necessary.
A conversion is committed only when the complete resulting attachment family uses less disk space than the existing family. Equal-size or larger results are rolled back and reported as failures, leaving the original attachment unchanged.
Unlike format-only converters, the plugin measures the full attachment family—including every registered WordPress, theme, builder, and optional WooCommerce size—before committing a conversion. It also preserves attachment IDs, safely rewrites literal URLs in structured data, and provides a conservative unused-media audit in the same resumable workflow.
Important safety notes
- Make a verified database and uploads backup first.
- Test the complete workflow on staging before production.
- Purge page, object, builder, CDN, and reverse-proxy caches after a batch.
- The plugin processes WordPress Media Library attachments. It does not rename theme/plugin assets or remote images that WordPress does not own.
- An unused scan cannot see references hard-coded in PHP, held by a remote service, or stored in an inaccessible external system. Ambiguous scans are marked Review and excluded from bulk deletion.
- Animated GIF protection is enabled by default because common WordPress image editors can flatten animations.
