KDA Media Button Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
KDA Media Button extends the classic WordPress editor with a new button. Clicking the button opens a popup window that gives access to the site structure so you can:
- Browse folders relative to a configured base folder.
- Upload new images directly into the current folder.
- Select an existing image and insert it into the post.
The plugin is fully configurable from its settings page:
- Accessible folder — a path relative to the site root. The plugin can only browse and upload inside this folder, which keeps the rest of the filesystem protected.
- Allowed formats — comma separated list of allowed extensions. Leaving it empty allows all common image formats (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, svg, ico, bmp, tiff, tif, avif).
- Roles — choose which roles (e.g. Administrator, Editor) can see the editor button.
- Lightbox link class — set a custom CSS class for the image link, or leave empty to disable the class.
- Activity log — optionally keep a log of uploads, deletions, folder creation and renames.
Working with images
When an image is selected you can fine-tune the insertion:
- Size — insert the original (Full) or a generated Thumbnail / Medium / Large copy.
- Alignment — None, Left, Center or Right (adds the matching WordPress align class).
- Alt text — custom alternative text for the inserted image.
- Link to full image — wrap the image in a link to the full-size file with a built-in lightbox.
- Metadata — resolution (width×height) and file size are shown before insertion, with a live thumbnail preview.
You can select multiple images (multi-select) and insert them as a gallery using the [kda_media_button_gallery] shortcode:
[kda_media_button_gallery urls="https://.../a.jpg,https://.../b.jpg" size="medium" columns="3" link="none"]
File management
Inside the popup you can also manage the folder structure:
- Create new subfolders.
- Rename files and folders.
- Delete files and folders (recursive).
Security
- Folder traversal outside the configured base folder is blocked.
- Uploaded files are validated against the allowed formats list and handled through the WordPress upload API.
- All AJAX requests are protected with nonces and role/capability checks.
