<h3>Full-featured file manager for media management</h3>
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?
Organize your media with ease
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.

<h3>✨ HOW IFOLDERS PLUGIN CAN HELP YOU</h3>
If you want to organize your WordPress data into a specific category, our plugin can help you do it with ease. There are several ways to use the iFolders plugin to organize and manage content. Keep all your posts and pages as well as media files (images, music, videos) structured using directories and subdirectories. Organize all your data into collections by specific criteria such as date, topic, keyword or some event.
<blockquote>
Note: Don’t worry, the plugin doesn’t change your WordPress data, it expands your ability to manage and catalog it. Adding a post, page, media or other item into a folder will do not change their data.
</blockquote>
<h3>☀️ BENEFITS</h3>
Effortless Organization: seamlessly manage your media library, posts, and pages with intuitive folder-based organization.
Enhanced Efficiency: save time and streamline your workflow with drag & drop functionality and bulk operations.
Improved Visibility: easily locate and access your content with customizable folder structures and sorting options.
Versatile Compatibility: Enjoy seamless integration with popular WordPress themes, plugins, and page builders.
Image Replacement: Forget the tedious and complicated process of replacing an image file in your WordPress media library. Previously, you had to first delete the old file, then upload a new one with the exact same name, which took time and effort. Now you can accomplish this right in the edit media file dialog box with a couple simple steps.
<h3>🔥 FEATURES</h3>
✅ UNLIMITED FOLDERS 
The iFolders plugin allows you to create an unlimited number of folders and subfolders that can be easily moved to suit your needs.
✅ DRAG & DROP INTERFACE 
To organize your media library, posts, and pages even faster, you can move multiple items at once, placing them in a folder or moving folders within other folders in seconds, reducing the number of clicks required. Just quickly move and arrange items with a user-friendly interface.
✅ BULK OPERATIONS 
Perform bulk actions such as moving multiple items or reordering folders effortlessly.
✅ CREATE & MANAGE FOLDERS 
You can easily create new folders and organize them into a tree structure by dragging and dropping them in the desired location. This allows you to quickly organize your content the way you want.
✅ DOWNLOAD FOLDERS AS ZIP 
Export selected folders, including their subfolders and attachment files, in a single ZIP file. The package will keep the same folder structure.
✅ FOLDER PERMISSIONS 
Define permissions for the users or roles to perform specific actions like: view, edit, delete, and attach an item to a folder. This way you can give some users edit permissions and others only view permissions. Recommended for multi-author blogs and sites.
✅ REPLACE MEDIA 
The plugin adds a button to the “Attachment Details” screen that allows you to select an image to replace the current image, saving its properties and URL. This makes it easy to add an updated version of the image without having to manually search and make the replacement again in the content of the post or page or anywhere else it may be mentioned.
<blockquote>
Note: If you find that this feature is not working properly, try disabling your browser cache and any third-party WordPress caching plugins.
</blockquote>
✅ CUSTOM SORTING 
Arrange items within folders by name, date, modification, or author for easy access.
✅ SEARCH & FILTER 
Easily search and filter folders to find specific items quickly using keywords or phrases. The user can search for folders and show only those that contain a certain word or phrase in the folder name. You can use wildcards ‘*’ or ‘?’ which can be used to indicate many characters or a single character in the folder name.
✅ ORGANIZE ITEMS 
You can categorize all the standard types built into WordPress including media files, posts, pages, and users to organize them more efficiently.
✅ CUSTOM POST TYPES 
Extend folder management capabilities to custom post types for comprehensive organization. With this plugin, you will get the ability to manage and group all registered custom post types in WordPress, providing a more efficient and organized approach. Let’s say you’ve created a new post type “Blog” or “News”. With our plugin, you also get the ability to group and categorize them.
✅ WOOCOMMERCE 
The plugin supports folders for WooCommerce listings including products, orders and coupons. This will allow you to quickly organize and manage your WooCommerce content, saving you time and effort. This is made possible because these entities are custom WordPress post types too.
✅ FAST MEDIA MANAGEMENT 
The plugin lets you easily move media files, either individually or in large numbers, between folders. You can also quickly create, rename, delete, and organize folders to organize your content the way you want.
✅ DIRECT UPLOAD & MANAGEMENT 
The plugin allows you to select a folder and upload new files directly into it, saving you time and effort. Another great time saver. 
Upload files directly to folders and manage them efficiently within your WordPress environment.
✅ RESPONSIVE SIDEBAR 
The plugin allows you to resize the iFolders sidebar containing folders as you wish, and turn it on or off as needed. Resize and customize the sidebar containing folders to suit your preferences for a seamless user experience.
✅ SMART DELETE 
Easily add, rename or delete folders with a single click. If you delete a folder, your data won’t be lost – it will be automatically moved to the “Uncategorized” folder, so you can access it later.
✅ COLOR FOLDER 
Set a color for your folders to give your folder structure a couple of bright shades for clarity. Just select a folder and choose the color you want. This will allow you to make your folders more attractive with just a few clicks.
✅ NEW FEATURES? 
If you need additional features that are not currently included in the plugin, please let us know by leaving feedback. We are always open to suggestions and may be able to implement your ideas in future versions of the plugin.
