Description

Media Bulk Download (Lite) lets you pick multiple files in the Media Library and download them as a single ZIP.

  • Works in Grid and List views
  • Adds a “Download as ZIP” bulk action (List) and a toolbar button (Grid)
  • Nonce + capability checks and path validation for security
  • Lite limits (to keep it fair):
    • Up to 10 files per ZIP
    • 2-minute cooldown between zips
    • 5 ZIPs/day per user

Want to remove limits and enable large libraries and advanced options? Get Pro

How it works

  1. Go to Media Library
  2. Select files (Grid or List)
  3. Click Download as ZIP
  4. A single ZIP is prepared and downloaded

Why this plugin?

  • One action to gather files for clients, archives, or backups
  • Zero setup, no external services
  • Secure by design (nonces, capability checks, sanitized paths)

Note: The Lite version enforces limits (10 files per ZIP, 2-minute cooldown, 5 zips/day). Upgrade to Pro for unlimited usage.
