Installation

Install Folderline from WordPress.org and make your first folder in a minute.

Folderline is free and listed on WordPress.org, so you can install it straight from your dashboard. It works on any WordPress site: it doesn't need WooCommerce or any other plugin.

Install the plugin

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and search for Folderline.
  2. Click Install Now on "Folderline – Media Library Folders", then Activate.

If you have the zip file instead, use Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the file, then Install Now and Activate.

Nothing changes on your site's front end, and your files stay exactly where they are: folders are a way of organising the Media Library, not folders on the server, so no file URL ever changes.

Make your first folder

  1. Go to Media → Library. The folder panel is on the left, beside your files.
  2. Click New folder, type a name such as "Products" and press Enter.
  3. Drag a few files from the library onto the new folder.
  4. Click the folder: the library now shows just those files.

Tip

Click All files to see everything again, or Unsorted to see the files you haven't put in a folder yet. That's a quick way to work through an existing library.
