It's simple – using WordPress native APIs and fitting seamlessly into the user interface.It's clean – not filling your dashboard full of banners, ads, notices, or features you didn't ask for.It works – letting you categorize media items into folders, and use those folders to find the media you're looking for when selecting media. The developer is competent, established, responsive, and helpful. I wish more plugins in the repo were like this one! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d8b2f77dffd871e78440761743702eb1002c9a3a6e1e294a675baa33365fdd33? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It’s a bad plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-work-on-wordpress-7-0-2/)󠁿 [actrazer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/actrazer/) 5 Agosto 2026 8 risposte This plugin is useless—one thing doesn't work, then another.Don't waste your time downloading and installing it.Developer: Before you release a plugin to the community, test it thoroughly. A JavaScript error was fixed in version 1.4.4. I uploaded files by folder, but after refreshing the page, the results disappeared. Drag-and-drop doesn’t work; after dragging files into a folder, they’re not there. I uninstalled the plugin—I don’t want to put my website at risk or feel like I’m just a tester. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4a5b59537b7030cbdd84442d082f9ae993922622afae63296809ecc528d672dc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin for Managing the Media Library](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-for-managing-the-media-library/)󠁿 [Timur Kamaev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tkama/) 14 Luglio 2026 At excellent plugin for organizing the WordPress media library with folders.
