Hi
this site is in 5 languages and due to various problems with the software and the process and generally not understanding things I now have – in 5 different languages – many many duplicate images – created by multiple creation of duplicate pages and pressing the translate media button many many times
can you suggest how I can SAFELY remove all these duplicates from each langauge? I know there are plugins but I have had mixed results with those and luckily had backup
thanks for any assistance in this
cheers
Hey smoothbob,
Thank you for using Enfold.
I’m not sure if you can remove those automatically but according to the W P M L forums, you have to remove those duplicates in the database via sql query. Unfortunately, we don’t know what script they are using to remove the images. Please contact the W P M L support team.
