Question
Best way to programatically remove attachments that are missing images?
I ask because after using a caching plugin, I have images that have been input in the database as attachments that don't actually exist. These usually take the form of xxxx.1jpg, where xxxx.jpg is a valid. Sometimes this number is a 2 or a 21.
I guess it would be better to just remove "duplicate" bad images. I think it might be good to have other types of missing images remain, so they could be corrected. Ideas?
Solution
Try this:
$imgs = get_posts("post_type=attachment&numberposts=-1");
foreach($imgs as $img){
$file = get_attached_file($img->ID);
if(!file_exists($file)){
wp_delete_post( $img->ID, false );
}
}
