Are you a WordPress website administrator? Managing a WordPress site means that you’ll be adding tons of multi-media files, such as images, videos, audios, documents, etc., into your WP media library. As a result, your library has to store thousands of files and could become a total mess. WordPress default file name search function is a good thing but it will never match the ease of going directly to a folder. That’s when FileBird comes in to help with managing files in WordPress! This media file manager gives you the ability to easily organize all files by drag and drop between folders. With FileBird in hand, things will be a lot better than they were. The best thing about a folder-based structure is it makes it very easy to find the files you need and saves you so much time. You won’t see WordPress media library not loading, as FileBird smart-loads one folder at a time. 🚀 Tips to manage WP media folders like a pro with FileBird Upload multiple folders and their files directly from your computer to WordPress Create a gallery from folders using the Gutenberg block of FileBird gallery Create WordPress document gallery with shortcode Resize the left sidebar to get an overview of all folders Upload files to a specific folder by choosing the destination folder from the dropdown Easily search for the name of file/folder From the page/post composer, browse files and folders in the FileBird UI While customizing WooCommerce email with a drag-and-drop email builder, you can quickly find the images you need Keep your folders uncluttered by clearing out the old files using the Sort by file size feature Press ESC to exit bulk select mode ⛩️ PREMIUM COMPATIBILITY With FileBird Pro, you will be able to use folders to organize posts, pages, WooCommerce products, coupons, templates, and other custom post types.
