Productdescription

WP Real Media Library is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily manage your media library in your blog. Using this plugin, you’ll be able to organize the thousands of images, audio, video, and PDF files in your media library in folders. Basically, it’s like WordPress categories for your media library.

Why do you need this plugin? Well, having a growing WordPress blog means that you’ll be adding a lot of new media files, like images, audio, and PDF, into your database every day. In a few weeks, your blog will be filled with thousands of media files. How are you going to find one of those files at a later time?

Of course, you can use the WordPress search function and spend a couple of hours finding a file, but who can even remember the names of thousands of files and what happens then?

That’s where the WP Real Media Library plugin comes in. With this plugin, you can easily create gallery folders for your images and normal folders for other media files to properly organize your media library. So that next time whenever you need to find a file, it’s only a mouse-click away.

Organizing your blog media files with WP Real Media Library plugin is as easy as dragging and dropping the files into folders. Then you can rearrange the order of your files by dragging them around to bring the important files to the top of the list for quicker access.

The Tree View of your folders will also make things easier for you to quickly find specific folders in a split-second.

In addition, you can use the WP Real Media Library plugin to insert media galleries to your posts directly from the WordPress “New Post” editor. This will allow you to insert an entire media folder into your WordPress posts as a customizable gallery.

WP Real Media Library is a must-have WordPress plugin that will help save you a ton of time that goes into managing your media files.

Structure

As you can see from the screenshots RML (Real Media Library) supports three different folder types:

• The normal folder: A folder can contain every type of file and collections, but no galleries. If you want to create a subfolder simply select a folder from the list and click this button.
  
  
• The collection: A collection can contain no files. But you can create there other collections and galleries. The mentioned above gallery is only a gallery data folder, that means they are not automatically in your frontend (your website).
  You can create a visual gallery from this gallery data folder via the Visual Editor in your page/post.
  
  
• The gallery folder: A gallery data folder can only contain images. It is simplier for you to distinguish where your visual galleries are.
  You can also order the images into a custom image order per drag&drop.

FAQ

Question? Write a comment here

If I move images around in my folders will they still be referenced correctly on the frontend wordpress site? Yes, do not worry about references.

Is there a way to select multiple files to be put into a folder? Just use the “bulk select” Button in media grid. If you are using table mode check the entries and move.

When i create a post i want to select an image from a specific folder, can i do this with this plugin? Yes, you can filter in a insert-dialog with the dropdown beside the search.

Why three different folder types? This provides a better overview. You can simply distinguish where your image galleries are.

Does it work with my Revolution Slider? Yes.

I have WPML installed, the number of images in the folder does not match the number of shown images? Yes, in WPML you see your uploaded files depending on your current admin language. WPML says “This language selector determines which content to display. You can choose items in a specific language or in all languages.” > Set it to “All languages” in the admin toolbar.

Does the plugin work with my current images and files? Yes, just install and play.

Does the plugin touch the file structure? No.

Does the plugin change the image URLs? No.

Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes.

What should i do if the plugin does not work correct after version update? Please clear the browser cache by reloading the page (CTRL + R).

Extended license doesn’t cover multiple uses. You need to purchase a regular or an extended license for every site.

Installation and Compatibility

If you buy this item you will become an introduction how to install the plugin.

The real media library is compatible with all wordpress themes and plugins. For example: You bought a theme on themeforest like the X Theme, Avada, Bridge, Salient, Be Theme or Enfold? No Problem! It also works great with Visual Composer, Justified Image Grid and Slider Revolution.

WP RML with Justified Image Grid

Justified Image Grid (external premium plugin): With the obvious visual advantage of JIG, a more important feature was created. The ability to show and traverse from any selected point of the RML tree. You can select folders and collections to display, not just galleries. JIG creates virtual pages according to the tree and allows navigation using a breadcrumb.
