## Descrizione

WordPress lets you bulk-select media files in the Media Library, but only to delete
them. **ZipMyMedia** adds the missing piece: a “Download Selected” button that zips
up all the selected files and sends them to your browser as a single download.

It works seamlessly in both grid view and list view, and uses WordPress’s native
UI patterns so the button feels like a built-in feature.

#### Features

 * Adds a “Download Selected” button next to “Delete permanently” in grid view bulk-
   select mode
 * Adds a “Download Selected” option in the bulk actions dropdown in list view
 * Button stays disabled until you actually select something, with a live count 
   of selected items
 * Single files download directly (no unnecessary zipping)
 * Multiple files are bundled into a timestamped ZIP archive
 * Handles duplicate filenames automatically (appends attachment IDs)
 * Uses nonce verification and capability checks for security
 * No settings page, no database tables — install and it just works

#### Use cases

 * Migrating media from one site to another
 * Downloading a batch of client photos in one go
 * Backing up specific media files without grabbing the entire uploads folder
 * Pulling assets for offline editing

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 5.5 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher
 * PHP `ZipArchive` extension (available on virtually all hosts by default)

## FAQ

### Where do the downloaded files come from?

The plugin downloads the original files from your `/wp-content/uploads/` folder —
the same files WordPress stored when you uploaded them.

### Are image thumbnails included in the ZIP?

No. Only the original full-size files are included. The smaller thumbnail versions(
e.g. `image-150x150.jpg`) are skipped.

### Is there a file size or count limit?

The plugin itself doesn’t enforce a limit, but your server’s PHP `memory_limit`,`
max_execution_time`, and available disk space will. For very large batches (hundreds
of MB or more), make sure your hosting allows long-running processes.

### Where is the ZIP file created?

The ZIP is temporarily created in your `/wp-content/uploads/` folder, streamed to
your browser, and then immediately deleted. Nothing is left behind on your server.

### Who can use the download button?

Any user with the `upload_files` capability — by default that’s Authors, Editors,
and Administrators. The same group of users who can upload media can download it
in bulk.

### Does this work on multisite?

Yes. Each subsite’s Media Library has its own button, and downloads are scoped to
that subsite’s uploads.

### Will this conflict with other media library plugins?

The plugin is intentionally non-invasive — it only adds a button and an AJAX handler.
It shouldn’t conflict with other plugins that modify the media library, but if you
run into issues, please open a support ticket.

### Why does the button briefly show “Zipping…” after clicking?

Building the ZIP takes a moment for larger batches. Once the browser starts the 
download, the button resets.

Just select multiple files in the media library and download them all as one zip
file. Super easy and it works perfectly.No complicated settings, very lightweight.
Saves me a lot of time when sending photos to clients or making quick backups. thx!
