Identify unused media files in your WordPress library for cleanup

Description

What This Prompt Does

Finds media files with no post parent and no references in any post content — candidates for deletion.

The Prompt

Copy everything below and paste it into Claude with your WordPress MCP connection active:

Using WordPress MCP, find media files that aren't being used anywhere on my site:
1. Get up to 100 media attachments using wordpress-mcp-get-attachments (per_page=100)
2. For each attachment, check if it's set as a featured image on any post — look at the post_parent field and check if any posts reference it via _thumbnail_id
3. Also check if the attachment URL appears in any post content using wordpress-mcp-search-content
4. List all media files that have no post parent AND don't appear in any post content
5. Show: File name, file type, file size if available, upload date

Do NOT delete anything. Find and list only. I'll decide what to remove.

How to Use It

  1. Connect Claude to your WordPress site via MCP (setup guide here)
  2. Copy the prompt above
  3. Paste it into Claude and press Enter
  4. Claude will run the audit and return a detailed report

No changes will be made to your site. These prompts are read-only audits.
