    Sometimes after watching a video I think, 'I m so glad I watched that video'. This fantastic video gave me that thought. Excellent introductory comments and great review of these plugins. I can't thank you enough.
    So glad to hear about the virtual folders.
    I have websites with a gigantic number of images and one for a camera club with 70 users going back 8 years. None of them thinks about adding their names to their images. Now they will all go into virtual folders in future.
    This will also help sort the problem about how to move away from Divi on another website, which I have been absolutely dreading.

    Thnx!! Glad you mentioned it's possible to deactivate/activate and the labels remain! I found your video while trying to answer this question though: how best to organize the media content...? Any thoughts on method of organizing it? ( I'm thinking by shape/location on the site might be best, like "Headers" or Featured Images, etc. )

    • @WPTuts
      @WPTuts  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry for the late reply Connie. To be honest, I think it really comes down to the type of content you create on your website and how much you will ultimately end up producing long term.
      I don't think there's a one size fits all solution. However, any structure has to be better than the default method of lumping it all into one folder / location. Great for a handful of files; a nightmare when you have hundreds or thousands.

  • @PracticaProphetica
    @PracticaProphetica 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I found one workaround that only requires one plugin (which can be discarded when you are done). Upload your folders/files via FTP, into your designated files path in Wordpress. Keep the folder structure just the way you want it, with subfolders, etc. Then use the plugin "Add From Server" to import the files into your Media Library. You will have to do this one folder at a time, as this plugin does not handle subfolders.
    There is one caveat. If you only import one file with "Add from Server", it will copy it to the default files directory. But if you import more than one file, it will leave them in their folders, just where you put them, but will create entries in Media Library with links to those files.
    The other thing you have to do, if you go this route, is to categorize or attach your files while you are importing them. So you would import a folder, then go to the Media Library and filter them out, then categorize them or attach them to a post/page. You want to make sure there is a way to separate them from the rest, before you import too many, otherwise it will be impossible to sort through them all.
    The other alternative, is the "Wordpress Media Library Folders" plugin from maxfactory. It is not a virtual folder structure, but mirrors the folder structure you have set up, and can create/remove folders and move files around. This can apparently import files that were uploaded via FTP: "Click the Check for new folders option in the Media Library Folders submenu in the WordPress Dashboard."
    Apparently this plugin can also handle moving files that are linked to posts/pages: "To rename or move a folder, one needs to create a new folder and move the files from the old folder to the new. During the move process, Media Library Folders will scan the sites standard posts and pages for any links matching the old address of the images or files and update them to the new address."
    For my needs, I don't think "virtual folders" will work. I have thousands of images collected from about 300 scanned books. They are all Bible pictures so there will be many of them on the same theme/event, with possibly the same filename. I can't dump them all into one big folder and then use virtual folders to sort them, as there will be filename conflicts. The best choice is to keep them separated into folders based on the book they came from. For that, I either need to use the process I outlined first, or use the Media Library Folders plugin to handle them.

    Thanks Paul. You asked if we found another similar plugin for organizing media files. You might want to look at "Folders - Unlimited Folders to Organize Media...". It's very much the same as the two you review. One glitch I found is that if you are editing on an image already within a post (click image, choose pencil icon, click Edit in the popup), the left sidebar space where their file structure would normally display is unresponsive. If you try to crop the image the crop button is unresponsive. Looks like a template overlay problem. Anyhow, thanks for the additional suggestions.

    VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION (for me, anyway!):
    I was thinking about “WordPress Media Library Folders," but apparently when you put a file in a folder, the URL gets changed, and so the link is broken. You have to go and re-establish all the links. Yikes!
    Am I correct in thinking that is not the case with these two plugins? Because they create virtual folders?

    Another important things I found before while I was testing server configuration and testing WordPress stack performance, was that when I deleted an image from library it actually still was in database. I could see them in upload folders(through SFTP or Cpanel)... I asked this question from many groups in some social media but no one answered me.
    And this is really bad, as even you delete files and media they are still in database and that causes having a heavy database.

    And if I'm right tell me what is the solution???

    I have been using WP Media Category Management (wordpress.org/plugins/wp-media-category-management/). It takes a different approach. It uses tags. You create your own tags. You can set (and change) a default tag for assignment to images on upload. You can assign multiple tags to an image. For example, an image can be tagged as "photo", "ad", and "product". The library display allows selecting which images to display, based on their tags.

      Wow, thanks (I think) for reminding me. I have a license for the JoomUnited package of Wordpress plugins so I did a quick test of their WP Media folder plugin that does what is described by this video. Complete failure for what it's supposed to do. The issue is after creating two folders and copying selected and different images to each it appeared to work until I went to view each folder and found that each was displaying the contents of both folder (i.e Folder1 was showing the files from Folder1 and Folder2 and vice versa). Also note this is a paid plugin that did some very nice system check for PHP version etc that my system passed. Sigh... BTW, I'm used to working with failed plugins and offering my services as a free QA/System debugger but in this case I don't have the time. Off to try FileBird.

  • @StephenPiddingtonLongbow
    @StephenPiddingtonLongbow 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks - very useful plugins. And you rightly stressed that they do not alter or delete the original files or structure. I think some similar plugins do? It is great that you can just drag a whole folder from the computer and it adds the folder too - not just the images. To my mind, the relatively small cost of Filebird Pro is worth it.

  • @vhutheesing
    @vhutheesing 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Paul, very helpful description of the backend functionality. I also want to know how what you described could enable some front-end functionality for visitors to my WP website. Ideally, I would like them to be able to enter some characters into a search window and generate search results that include BOTH website content and media library content, all in one search result. So if I did a blog post about having just updated my resume, but also had a PDF of my resume in my website's media library, the search entry "resume" would include two search results, one for each. I use generate press as my theme and elementor pro as my main plugin, so I need something that is compatible with both. Thanks again!

      Mediamatic had cloned the earlier version 2.9 of FileBird that's why it was closed on Envato.
      The latest version of FileBird (4.0.x) is now working magic and there are no minor issues compared to the older versions.
      Cheers!

    4 Years later and WordPress still lacks media folder management 😢 Last night I installed Real Media Manager and Real Physical Media. I didn't really like the virtual folders and wanted something that would create actual folders the way I would on an HTML site.
    So far though I'm finding it a little confusing to use. If anybody is familiar with those plugins and knows of a tutorial I'd love to be referred to that
    Thanks!

    The thing that annoys me about the media library is the way it only shows square images. Every site I've built uses 2:3 images for ecommerce product images and being forced to view them in the media library as cropped square images is very annoying.

    This gives me no idea on how I could use these plugins to access files on a WordPress front page, but not surprised -- I'm not finding any tutorials on how to do this, even the plugin coders don't show how to use/display on a WordPress page.

      I've just taken a quick look at it and it seems OK. My only complaint would be that it creates its own entry and not enhance the existing Media tools in WordPress.

    • @BiagiAgus
      @BiagiAgus 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A little bit late in my answer but, the main difference between the media library and the two presented here is that the media library creates "physical" folders instead of "virtual" folders. Therefore, because most images and files in the media library have corresponding links embedded in site’s posts and pages, Media Library Folders does not allow folders to be rename or moved in order to prevent breaking these links

    Oh, you didn't show us how these new folders created using the interface of these two plugins, appear when one wants to add Media files in one's site! I installed another plugin called " Media Libray Folder" and created folders for my images. I then wanted to create a Photo Gallery using Envira. My folders did not appear there. Unless I pay for the Pro version of "Media Library Folder" plugin, I won't be able to use the folders I created using this plugin anywhere in the site! Amazing! Isn't it! I bet this is the same for the two plugins you demonstarted in this video, i.e. pay for the Pro version or you shiny new folders would be useless!
