With this plugin you are able to organize the thousands of images, audio, video and PDF files in your media library into folders. Basically it is a file manager like Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, but for WordPress. Why do you need this plugin? A growing WordPress blog or website means that you add a lot of new media files to your database every day. In a few weeks your website will be filled with thousands of media files. How will you be able to find one of these files in a flat list? Of course, you can use the WordPress search function and spend a few hours to find a file, but who can remember the names of thousands of files? Organize your media with ease This is where the Real Media Library Plugin comes in. With this plugin you can easily create folders, collections and galleries for your pictures to organize your media library properly. Next time you’re looking for a file, it’s just a click away in the file manager. Organizing your blog media files with the Real Media Library plugin is as easy as dragging and dropping them into folders. You can rearrange the order of your files by dragging them around to move the important files to the top of the list for faster access. Additionally, you can use the Real Media Library plugin to add media galleries into your posts directly from the WordPress ‘New Post’ editor. This allows you to add an entire media folder as a customizable gallery to your WordPress posts. The Real Media Library is the must-have WordPress plugin for media management, which can save you a lot of time that you have to spend on managing your media files. Folders, Collections and Galleries As you can see from the Real Media Library plugin screenshots (GIFs), it supports three ways to order your files: Folder: A folder can contain any type of file and collections, but not galleries. To create a subfolder, simply select a folder from the list and click this button. Collection: A collection cannot contain files. But you can create other collections and galleries there. The above mentioned gallery is only a gallery data folder, which means that they are not automatically placed in your frontend (your website). You can create a visual gallery from this gallery data folder using the Gutenberg editor in your page/post. Gallery: A gallery data folder can only contain images. It is easier for you to distinguish where your visual galleries are located. You can also drag and drop the images into your own image order.

Simple Download Counter (SDC) provides a simple yet powerful way to count file downloads. Works with any file type that’s supported by WordPress (e.g., JPG, PNG, ZIP, MP4, TXT, and many more). Important / Please Read This plugin enables Admin-level users to add download files of any type, from anywhere on the server, or from any remote public location. Only Administrators are allowed to add download files. Please use caution and use responsibly. 👉 This plugin is not compatible with WordPress Multisite. How it works Visit the plugin settings to add a download file. Then use the shortcode to display a download link on any post or page. The plugin will then count every download and display it in the plugin settings. You can also display the download count on the front end using a shortcode. Features Simple and powerful download counter Supports local and remote file URLs Supports any file type supported by WordPress Lightweight – entire plugin size is < 160 KB Super fast and built for optimal performance Clean code tightly integrated with WordPress No Apache/.htaccess required Check out the screenshots below to get a better idea of the plugin settings and more. How is this better? There are numerous “download counter” or “download manager” plugins available, but none of them satisfy all of my specific, stringent requirements: Current with latest WordPress Clean and simple code using WP APIs Lightweight with minimal useless features Supports all local and remote downloads No automatically created posts or pages No advertisements or weird admin notifications No obtuse styling of default WP Admin elements Download posts are visible only in the Admin Area Descriptive error handling for upload files No redundant or sloppy coding practices No requirement for cookies or sessions No requirement for Apache/.htaccess No weird database shenanigans So I decided to build my own. Let me emphasize the utter simplicity of this plugin. It does one thing and does it well: counts the number of downloads for your files. And makes it easy to display download links and download counts anywhere on the front end. Privacy This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. The only thing this plugin does is count the number of times files are downloaded. So 100% privacy friendly for everyone. Simple Download Counter is developed and maintained by Jeff Starr, 15-year WordPress developer and book author. Support development I develop and maintain this free plugin with love for the WordPress community.
