Media Library Recovery

A tool that helps you restore and recover images from your wp-content/uploads folder after a database failure or reset.

Media Library Recovery allows you to restore existing image media files from the uploads folder and re-insert it into the WordPress database the correct way.

You can choose individual image files for recovery, or utilize the available filters and navigation within our custom Media Explorer to speed up the process.

Go to Media > Media Recovery from the main menu which will open the Media Explorer.

From the options you can choose to either show or hide the existing image media files already found on your server and database.

1. Go to the Media Explorer.
2. Select/click the image files you want to recover.
3. Click on Media Recovery... button and wait until you images are rebuilt.
