Plugin Description

Webfydev Duplicate Media Guard helps keep your WordPress Media Library clean by preventing duplicate file uploads.

The plugin checks whether a file already exists before it is uploaded. You can choose to compare files using their complete filename (including extension) or compare only the filename while ignoring the extension.

For example:

  • logo.png and logo.png Duplicate
  • logo.png and logo.jpg Duplicate (when extension check is disabled)
  • banner.webp and banner.webp Duplicate

This helps eliminate unnecessary duplicate files, reduces media library clutter, and saves server storage.

Features

  • Prevent duplicate media uploads automatically.
  • Compare filenames with extension.
  • Compare filenames without extension.
  • Simple settings page.
  • Lightweight and easy to use.
  • Works with the default WordPress Media Uploader.
  • No impact on existing media files.
  • No configuration required after activation (default settings available).

How It Works

  1. Upload a file through the WordPress Media Library.
  2. The plugin checks if a matching filename already exists.
  3. If a duplicate is found, the upload is skipped.
  4. A notice is displayed informing you that the file already exists.
