Yes, but you will need to run it on every site independently.

Quick reply…thanks. So basically it can be installed, just not “network activated”, then each added site (which are demo sites for my WordPress themes) is activated on a per-site-basis?
Exactly 🙂 The plugin absolutely needs the local context of each site to increase the quality of the scan.

Awesome… so far with my testing, it works awesome! Especially because some themes have several thumbnail sizes to be generated but unfortunately it does this for “every” image uploaded, so this plugin is going to prove very useful.
Thanks again for the fast reply and info. Expect a good review soon!
Ah super! I’m glad to hear a good news in my early morning 🙂 Cheers!
Hi,
I have a multisite install, too. There’s a caveat to the media cleaner plugin: on the main site, it will find the media of the other sites as “Not in Media DB”. WP stores the media of the sub-sites into subfolders of wp-content/uploads.
So either exclude the subfodler(s) sites/2, sites/3 or sites/ completely, or ignore those media after the first run of a scan.
Hi @rob_st_82,
Normally the /sites directory is totally skipped by the process. I have just tried it and I can confirm that 🙂 So it’s a bit strange that it gets scanned.
If you want to force Media Cleaner to skip directories, you can add it/them to the Directory Regex Filter, and set it like this:
/^((?!sites).)*$/
That will avoid all the content of /sites to be scanned. You can add more:
/^((?!sites|network_sites|protected_images).)*$/
