⚠️ Détecteur de fichiers cassés

The Broken File Scanner checks every attachment record in the WordPress database and verifies that the corresponding physical file still exists on the server.

Broken records occur when files are deleted directly from the server (via FTP, cPanel File Manager, etc.) without using WordPress, leaving orphan database entries pointing to missing files.

You can delete these orphan records directly from the results list.

Les questions qu’on nous pose

Is it safe to delete broken records?
Yes — the physical file is already gone. Deleting the record removes the orphaned attachment from WordPress without affecting any files on disk.

Will this affect posts that referenced the missing file?
The content references are likely already broken since the file doesn’t exist. Use the Dead Link Scanner afterwards to find and fix those references.

What if I accidentally deleted the wrong file from the server?
If you have a recent backup, restore the file from there. If cloud backup was enabled in Media Library Manager, the file may also be in your connected cloud storage.
