- BB Media writes only its own tables and, when switched on, WebP/AVIF copies next to uploads files
(
name.ext.webp,name.ext.avif). It changes no attachment data and deletes no media. Each copy it writes is recorded (bytes and modification time) and it only overwrites or deletes a copy that is recorded and unchanged: a file someone uploaded under the same name, which WordPress allows, is never touched or served as a copy. - The usage scan unserializes stored values once, without objects, and walks them with a budget; the unused reports refuse until a full scan has finished.
- "Used in" lists only posts the viewer can read; options, terms and theme files only for administrators.
- BB Migrate's same-content reuse only picks attachments an administrator owns.
- The Media index screen, its buttons and the CSV export need
manage_optionsand a nonce. "Used in" is shown to users who can upload files. There is no public endpoint;bb_media_lookup()is a PHP function for other plugins. - Paths are resolved inside uploads only;
..is refused. - The CSV writes cells that a spreadsheet would treat as a formula as text.
- Images are processed with the server's ImageMagick, as WordPress itself does for uploads, only in background batches, never during a page request. Direct reads name the decoder from the file extension; images over 50 megapixels are not copied.
