Real Media Library is a WordPress plugin that empowers you with advanced
media management. With this plugin
you are able to organize the thousands of images, audio, video and PDF files in your media
library into folders.
Basically it is a file manager like Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, but for
WordPress.
Why do you need this plugin?
A growing WordPress blog or website means that you add a lot of new media files to your
database every day. In a few
weeks your website will be filled with thousands of media files. How will you be able to find
one of these files in a
flat list? Of course, you can use the WordPress search function and spend a few hours to find
a file, but who can
remember the names of thousands of files?
This is where the Real Media Library Plugin comes in. With this plugin you can
easily create folders,
collections and galleries for your pictures to organize your media library properly. Next time
you’re looking for a
file, it’s just a click away in the file manager.
Organizing your blog media files with the Real Media Library plugin is as easy as
dragging and dropping them
into folders. You can rearrange the order of your files by dragging them around to move the
important files to the top
of the list for faster access.
Additionally, you can use the Real Media Library plugin to add media galleries into
your posts directly from
the WordPress ‘New Post’ editor. This allows you to add an entire media folder as a
customizable gallery to your
WordPress posts.
The Real Media Library is the must-have WordPress plugin for media management,
which can save you a lot of
time that you have to spend on managing your media files.
Folders, Collections and Galleries
As you can see from the Real Media Library plugin screenshots (GIFs), it supports
three ways to order your
files:
Folder: A folder can contain any type of file and collections, but not
galleries. To create a subfolder, simply select a
folder from the list and click this button.
Collection: A collection cannot contain files. But you can create other
collections and galleries there. The above
mentioned gallery is only a gallery data folder, which means that they are not automatically
placed in your frontend
(your website). You can create a visual gallery from this gallery data folder using the
Gutenberg editor in your
page/post.
Gallery: A gallery data folder can only contain images. It is easier for you
to distinguish where your visual galleries
are located. You can also drag and drop the images into your own image order.
Real Media Library is a modern and high quality plugins. But we try our best to
ensure backwards compatibility
so you can use it even if your setup is not the latest.
