When using WP-Tookit to take a backup of a site and then restoring it. I have found that it is not deleting files added to the media library after a restoration.
For context - I am bulk importing products and files into a WooCommerce site.
Surely this should have overwritten the uploads folder with the old one instead of merging them?
I am assuming here that the restore process merges the old files with the new rather than replacing them from the backup?
Can someone confirm if this is the expected behaviour of restorations from WP-Toolkit?
For context this totally breaks WordPress and caused bloat in the uploads folder.
For context - I am bulk importing products and files into a WooCommerce site.
- I create a backup in WP-Toolkit for the specific wordpress install
- I run my import process which automatically adds images from an external source to the media library and attaches them to posts
- Unfortunately the import failed and created duplicates of images. The image library contains thousands more images than it should.
- I go to restore my backup in WP-Toolkit
- This has restored the site back to where it was but has not deleted any images from the media library.
- I therefore no longer have a true copy of the site and a bloated media library full of images no longer in the wordpress database.
