<p>Flexa Media Folders adds a hierarchical, drag-and-drop folder tree to the WordPress Media Library. Group images, videos, documents and any other attachment into nested folders, then filter the library to a single folder with one click – in the grid view, the list view, and the media picker inside the post editor.</p>
<p>Folders are stored in two dedicated, indexed database tables, so your <code>wp_term*</code> tables stay clean and the tree loads fast even with thousands of files.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hierarchical folder tree</strong> – create unlimited nested folders, rename them, and reorder them by drag-and-drop.</li>
<li><strong>Drag attachments into folders</strong> – drag an item from the Media Library straight onto a folder.</li>
<li><strong>Works everywhere the Media Library does</strong> – the folder sidebar appears on the Media grid, the list view (<code>upload.php</code>), and the media modal in both the block editor and the Classic Editor.</li>
<li><strong>One-click filtering</strong> – click a folder to filter the library to it, plus built-in “All files” and “Uncategorized” views.</li>
<li><strong>Color labels</strong> – assign one of 18 colors to any folder from the right-click menu to spot it at a glance.</li>
<li><strong>Full context menu</strong> – New Folder, Rename, Cut, Paste, Delete and Change Color, all from a right-click.</li>
<li><strong>File counts</strong> – each folder can show how many attachments it contains (toggle in Settings).</li>
<li><strong>Folder search</strong> – filter the folder tree as you type.</li>
<li><strong>Settings page</strong> – choose a default folder for new uploads (none / last used / a specific folder), set the folder sort order, toggle file counts, and exclude specific post types from showing the sidebar.</li>
<li><strong>Dark mode</strong> – the tree automatically follows your WordPress admin color scheme.</li>
<li><strong>Accessible</strong> – full ARIA tree semantics, keyboard navigation, and visible focus styles.</li>
<li><strong>Translation ready</strong> – every string is internationalized and a <code>.pot</code> template is bundled.</li>
<li><strong>REST API</strong> – all screens are powered by a REST API under <code>/wp-json/flexa-mf/v1/</code>, so external integrations and your own code can read and manage folders too.</li>
<li><strong>WP-CLI</strong> – manage folders and reset plugin data from the command line with <code>wp flexa-mf</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Clean uninstall</strong> – a Settings danger zone (and <code>wp flexa-mf reset</code>) wipes all plugin data on demand; uninstalling the plugin drops its tables. Your media files are never touched.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Source code for compiled JavaScript and CSS</h4>
<p>The plugin ships with minified/compiled JavaScript and CSS in <code>assets/dist/</code>. The human-readable source code for these assets is publicly available and maintained at:</p>

<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>
