Media Library Folders Pro for WordPress

Media Library Folders Pro for WordPress includes real folders to the existing WordPress Media Library. Organize uploads by project, content type, product, or another structure while keeping files in the standard library.

Manage folders and files

• Create folders, then drag files to move or copy them. Rename or delete files, and delete empty folders. To move or rename a folder, create a new one and move its files; matching links in standard posts and pages are updated during file moves.
• Sync files uploaded or moved through FTP with the Media Library. Sync checks the current folder, so sync subfolders separately.
• Search by file or folder name, or use File Name View Mode to find pictures in very large folders.
• Regenerate thumbnails for selected media, and set picture ALT and TITLE attributes during upload.
• Organize folders with categories. Enhanced Media Library and Media Library Folders Pro categories are interchangeable.

The plugin also supports Advanced Custom Fields and multisite installations.

Use media in posts, galleries, and products

From the editor, choose and add images to posts and pages through the Media Library Folders integration. Create MaxGalleria and NextGEN galleries from folders, or add images to a WooCommerce product gallery.

Restrict direct access to selected files

The Pro edition’s Block Direct Access feature can protect unlimited Media Library files. Its controls include a customized no-access page, blocking Google Search from indexing media files, hotlink prevention, access restrictions, disabled copy and right-click actions, and private URLs that can be limited by IP address.

Activating Block Direct Access in the Pro options makes a protected-content folder. On Apache websites, activation also updates the .htaccess file to make that folder inaccessible to internet users. Nginx and IIS websites require manual server-configuration changes as described in the extension instructions.

Get started

Install and activate the plugin, then open Media Library Folders Pro from the WordPress dashboard. Review the uploads folder, create folders for your media structure, and arrange files with drag and drop or sync folders uploaded through FTP. Configure Block Direct Access separately if selected files need restricted access.
