<p>Apex Folders is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that adds folder organization to your WordPress Media Library. It allows you to create a hierarchical folder structure to organize your images, videos, documents, and other media files, making them much easier to find and manage.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hierarchical Folders</strong>: Create unlimited folders and subfolders to organize your media</li>
<li><strong>Drag & Drop Interface</strong>: Easily move media files between folders with intuitive drag and drop functionality</li>
<li><strong>Upload to Folders</strong>: Directly upload new media to specific folders</li>
<li><strong>Works with Default Media Library</strong>: Seamlessly integrates with WordPress’s built-in media management</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Unassigned Folder</strong>: Media without a folder is automatically placed in an “Unassigned” folder</li>
<li><strong>No Media Duplication</strong>: Files are organized virtually without duplicating them on your server</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong>: Optimized for performance with minimal impact on your site’s speed</li>
</ul>
<h3>Perfect For</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Content Creators</strong>: Easily find and reuse media assets across your site</li>
<li><strong>Agencies & Developers</strong>: Organize client media by project, category or purpose</li>
<li><strong>Online Stores</strong>: Keep product images organized by category, season, or brand</li>
<li><strong>Large Media Libraries</strong>: Manage thousands of files without the frustration of endless scrolling</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Apex Folders creates a custom taxonomy for your media attachments and provides an intuitive user interface for managing them. The plugin adds folder functionality directly to your existing WordPress Media Library interface, making it feel like a natural part of WordPress.</p>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<h4>Folder Hierarchy</h4>
<p>Apex Folders supports unlimited folder nesting, allowing you to create as deep a hierarchy as you need for your media organization.</p>
<h4>Admin Tools</h4>
<p>Administrators have access to helpful tools for managing folders, including:<br />
* Rebuild Unassigned Folder – ensures all media has proper folder assignments<br />
* Flush Term Cache – resolves issues with folder counts<br />
* Debug Tools – helps troubleshoot folder-related issues</p>
<h4>Performance Considerations</h4>
<p>The plugin is optimized for performance but managing folders with thousands of files may experience slight delays. We recommend using a good caching solution for sites with very large media libraries.</p>
