Media Library Folders Pro for WordPress

Media Library Folders Pro for WordPress includes folders to the existing WordPress Media Library. Use them to group uploads by projects, products, editorial work, or another structure while continuing to use the standard media system.

Organize and find media

Create folders and use drag and drop to move or copy documents. You can rename and delete files, search by file or folder name, and use File Name View Mode to find images in very large folders. Moving files updates matching links in standard posts and pages. Folders cannot be moved or renamed directly. To change a folder's name or location, make another folder and move its files. A folder must be empty before it can be deleted.

• Regenerate thumbnails for selected media.
• Use Sync to scan the current folder for files uploaded or moved through FTP that are not yet listed in the Media Library. Sync subfolders separately.
• Organize folders with categories. Enhanced Media Library and Media Library Folders Pro categories are interchangeable.
• With Image SEO enabled, apply configured ALT and TITLE defaults to uploaded images and adjust them during upload.

The extension also supports Advanced Custom Fields and multisite installations.

Use media in editors, galleries, and products

MLF integration lets editors select and add images to posts and pages from the editor. You can create MaxGalleria and NextGEN galleries from MLF folders, and add images to WooCommerce product galleries. These tools keep folder-organized media available through familiar WordPress workflows.

Control access to selected files

The Pro edition includes Block Direct Access for selected Media Library files. It can protect unlimited media files, show a customized no-access page, block Google Search from indexing media files, prevent hotlinking, disable copying and right-click actions, and create private URLs with optional IP restrictions.

Activate Block Direct Access from its tab in the Pro options. Activation makes a protected-content folder and updates the .htaccess file on Apache websites to make that folder inaccessible to internet customers. Nginx and IIS websites require manual server configuration as described in the extension instructions.

Get started

Install and activate the plugin, then open Media Library Folders Pro from the WordPress dashboard. Create folders for your media structure and arrange files with drag and drop. Use Sync for files uploaded through FTP. Configure Block Direct Access separately if selected media needs restricted access.
