Media Library Recovery is a WordPress plugin designed to restore lost image files from the wp-content/uploads folder after events such as database resets or failures. This tool allows users to efficiently rebuild their media library by properly reinserting existing image files into the WordPress database. Users can recover individual images or utilize the custom Media Explorer to streamline the recovery process, making it accessible even for less tech-savvy individuals.

Once activated, the plugin provides a straightforward interface where users can navigate to Media > Media Recovery to access the Media Explorer. The plugin offers features such as the ability to hide already existing files, display unique icons for easy management, and recover up to 10 images at a time, with a file size limit of 2MB. For those needing advanced features, a Pro version is available that supports all media types and allows unlimited file recovery.
