Description

Bulk register files on the server to the Media Library.

Register to media library

  • Maintain folder structure.
  • This create a thumbnail of the image file.
  • This create a metadata(Images, Videos, Audios).
  • Change the date/time.

Sibling plugin

Note

  • If you want to use a multi-byte file name, use UTF-8. The file name is used as the title during registration, but is sanitized and changed to a different file name.

How it works

Installation

  1. Upload bulk-media-register directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Very handy

It is an essential and convenient plug-in for registering images in bulk.

Works good

Works well, but I had to nudge the plugin several times for large file sizes (about 3GB). Usability is rather poor.

Thank you so much

After a backup through ftp all db entries of the media were gone. This plugin fixed just right that! Do have a tip to improve: it would be nice to get the date of the image created and set than one because now all media files are from the date of today ;-) but hey, if that is the worst thing
