Advanced Media Library Filters — Enhanced Media Management, SEO & Bulk Organization

1.0.7

• Database Optimization: Replaced slow NOT EXISTS and empty string database operations for the Alt Text filter with a high-performance indexed flag (_levelnetwork_mlf_has_alt). Drastically improves response times on Enterprise websites with large media libraries (50k+ items).
• UX Fix: Optimized the “Reset Filters” action in Grid View. Combined multiple sequential Backbone model updates into a single event loop to prevent duplicate, concurrent AJAX requests to the server.
• Code Quality & Compliance: Standardized uninstall.php to use native WordPress functions (delete_post_meta_by_key), ensuring full synchronization with object caching systems (Redis, Memcached) and complete cleanup of global plugin options upon deletion. Resolved WPCS global variable scoping warnings.

1.0.6

• New Feature: Added dynamic sub-format cascading filters.
• Enhancement: Sub-format filters are fully supported and synchronized in both Grid/Modal View (AJAX) and standard List View.
• Bug Fix: Fixed a PHPCS security warning (OutputNotEscaped) by correctly implementing the native WordPress disabled() function for HTML attributes.
• Bug Fix: Cleaned up the plugin package by removing hidden macOS system files (.DS_Store) to strictly meet WordPress repository packaging guidelines.

1.0.5

• Security improvements: Ensured thorough sanitization, escaping and unslashing of superglobals across the codebase.
• Filter queries improvements: Properly merged meta_query to prevent overwriting existing queries.

1.0.4

• Added sizes > 2 MB and > 5 MB to the size filter.

1.0.3

• Repositioned “Bulk Select” to properly stay at the end of the filters.

1.0.2

• Added Audio, Excel and TXT options to the Format Filter.
• Restructured Media Library toolbar to group all dropdowns sequentially, ensuring the “Bulk Select” button always appears last.
• Hid the redundant native WordPress media types filter when the plugin is active to prevent duplication.
• Emphasized and redesigned the “Sync Existing Media” notice in the backend to ensure users don’t miss running it.

1.0.1

• Fixed size and dimensions filters for previously uploaded media.
• Implemented a “Sync Media Data” tool on the settings page to process existing attachments.
• Added a convenient “Settings” link in the Plugins page.

1.0.0
