Using folders

Folders in media pickers

The folder filter in the Add Media window, featured images and the block editor's pickers, and uploading into a folder from there.

Wherever WordPress opens a media window to pick files, Folderline adds a folder filter to its toolbar, next to WordPress's own type and date filters:

  • the block editor's Image, Gallery, Cover, Media & Text, Audio, Video and File blocks (Media Library button),
  • the featured image,
  • the classic editor's Add Media button,
  • other plugins that use WordPress's media window (page builders, WooCommerce product images and so on).
The folder filter in a media picker

The filter lists All folders, Unsorted and your folders, indented to show which are inside which, each with its number of files. Choose a folder to see only its files; search and the other filters then work within it.

Uploading from a media picker

Choose a folder in the filter, then switch to the Upload files tab and upload: the files go into that folder, and appear in it straight away.

With All folders chosen, uploads go into the default folder from Media → Folder Settings (or stay unsorted).

The Folder field

Click a file in a media picker and its details on the right include a Folder field. Change it to move the file; it's saved straight away.
