Availability: Free (Core) and Pro. Core is the free feature set. Your installed edition and version determine which controls are available.
Install and open the settings
- Back up the shop and try the setup on a staging copy first. Check the requirements on the product overview and activate WooCommerce.
- Install the Free package from WordPress.org when listed there, or upload the ZIP supplied by IPS through Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin. Activate the plugin.
- For Pro, use the separate Pro package supplied with your purchase. Deactivate the other edition before activating Pro; keep only one edition of this product active. Keep existing data when changing editions.
- Open IPS → Media Cleanup. Save a small configuration change, then check its effect in a separate customer session.
Run the first check
- Create a current backup of both the database and uploads. Choose a small test group on staging before cleaning production media.
- Open Settings (Einstellungen). Check the reference sources, recovery setting and retention period. The background-processing status should show available Action Scheduler processing.
- Open Analysis (Analyse) and run the analysis. Wait for completion before judging the duplicate and unused-media results.
- In Cleanup (Bereinigung), review one duplicate group and run a test. Read all blocked or unsupported-reference notices before confirming a real cleanup.
Updates and changing editions
WordPress.org supplies updates for its Free package. Packages supplied by IPS use the IPS update channel; Pro updates may require an active license for that channel. A Pro license does not add Pro code to a WordPress.org package. Use the package supplied for your purchase and follow its installation instructions.
When returning to Free, Pro controls and behavior are unavailable. Keep a backup and review any configuration that depends on Pro before switching. These instructions describe the supported features; they do not announce availability of a release in every distribution channel.
Know the navigation
The interface follows Analysis → Cleanup → Recovery. Depending on the installed translation, you may see the source labels Analyse, Bereinigung and Sicherungen. Media quality checks are under Medienqualität.
A recovery copy is required for real cleanup. With recovery disabled or storage protection unverified, use analysis and test runs until the problem is resolved.
