## Mô tả

WordPress organizes media by **upload date**. That’s it. When you have thousands
of files, finding the right image becomes a nightmare of endless scrolling.

👉 **CatFolders** gives you real organization. **Drag and drop files into custom
folders** that match how you actually work. Problem solved!

Ready to organize by project, client, topic, or content type instead of random upload
dates?

Organize your WordPress Media Library with an intuitive folder-based system:

 * Create unlimited folders for your media files
 * Drag and drop interface for easy organization
 * Filter and search media by folder
 * Clean, user-friendly interface integrated directly into WordPress
 * Compatible with popular WP page builders and themes

🚀

🗂️ Ready to take your document management to a whole new _level_, literally?
 ✨
Explore the [CatFolders Document Gallery plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/catfolders-document-gallery/)–
now integrated with the power of **multi-level folders**!

### ⚡️ FEATURES

After installing and activating **WP Media Folders**, you will have an integrated
folder tree right inside the WordPress media library.

**Unlimited folders**
 With WP Media Folders – CatFolders Lite version, you will
be able to create unlimited main folders and freely move them to the position you
want.

**Import categories from other WP media folders plugins**
 Are you considering migrating
to CatFolders? We’ve got it covered! With CatFolders, importing your established
folder structure is simple and takes only one click. You will then be able to find
your familiar categories in CatFolders-fashion.

**CatFolders** supports easy folder import from these plugins:

 1. FileBird by NinjaTeam
 2. Enhanced Media Library by wpUXsolutions
 3. WordPress Media Library Folders by Max Foundry
 4. WordPress Real Media Library by Devowl
 5. WP Media Folder by JoomUnited
 6. HappyFiles by Thomas Ehrig
 7. Folders by Premio
 8. Wicked Folders

**Works with [Media Library Assistant](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-library-assistant/)**

CatFolders enhances **Media** > **Assistant** admin submenu and supports the `[mla_gallery]`
shortcode. [mla_gallery mla_catf_folder=”120″] [mla_gallery mla_catf_folder=”120″
attachment_category=mla-category]

**Drag and drop multiple files**
 You can bulk select and drag & drop many files
at once to put them in a destination folder. Folders can be bulk selected as well.

**SVG support**
 Simply enable uploading SVG and other vector file types with sanitization
included!

**Remember recently opened folder**
 CatFolders comes with a variety of options 
to decide which folder to be opened on your first visit. You can choose to get back
to your **most recent folder**, or always back to a specific folder, such as “Uncategorized”
or “All files.”

**Collapsible folder sidebar**
 The sidebar reserved for the folder tree can be 
collapsed so that you can have the full-screen view of the WP media library when
needed.

**Upload files to a specific folder**
 The enhanced **media library uploader** allows
you to choose a folder first and then upload multiple files from your computer to
that folder. You can also **bulk-upload many folders** from your storage to WordPress
media library in a single drag-and-drop.

**Works with Grid & List view**
 All files in a selected folder are sortable in **
list mode**, which means you can easily sort your file list by file name, author,
date, and custom post type to which they are uploaded. In **grid mode**, CatFolders
works great both in the media library and the page/post editor. This helps you choose
the media files you need for the work-in-progress content much faster than working
with an unorganized media library.

**API for developers**
 REST APIs allow external plugins to perform specific actions,
such as getting folder structure or triggering automated tasks.

### 😻 WHAT’S THERE IN WP MEDIA FOLDERS PRO?

**Advanced sort options**
 Once upgraded, you can sort files by file name, created
date, modified date, author, newest or oldest, etc. Whether you want to sort files
and folders by default or temporarily, there’s always a sorting method for you.

**Create subfolders**
 Each subfolder is a child of the parent folder above it. 
With [CatFolders Pro](https://wpmediafolders.com/), a main folder can hold unlimited
subfolders. The parent/child analogy helps you organize your files more efficiently.
It’s very easy to hide or show all folders below the selected folder.

**Folder access permissions**
 Enable global folder structure where everyone sees
the same categorization, or set folder permissions based on user roles. Access permissions
include adding new, viewing, and editing folders. Recommended for multi-author blogs,
multi-vendor marketplace websites, and ecommerce businesses.

**Third-party themes and page builders**
 Not every theme and plugin has the same
way of building, we work hard to deliver extra compatibility. So WP Media Folders
will work with these builders throughout your website building stage:

 * Gutenberg: The built-in, block-based editor for WordPress.
 * Elementor: Drag-and-drop interface for robust page design.
 * WPBakery: The all-in-one page builder for custom layouts.
 * Visual Composer: Create professional-looking sites and grow your web creation
   business in minutes.

## Hỏi đáp

### Will organizing files into folders affect my existing media files or posts?

No, CatFolders doesn’t move or alter your actual media files. It simply adds organizational
categories to help you manage them better. All existing media links in your posts
and pages will continue to work normally.

### What happens to my folders if I deactivate the plugin?

Your media files will remain intact and accessible in the standard WordPress Media
Library. The folder structure (categories) will be preserved in your database and
will reappear if you reactivate the plugin.

### Does CatFolders work with page builders like Elementor, Divi, or Gutenberg?

Yes, CatFolders is designed to work seamlessly with popular page builders and the
WordPress block editor. You’ll see your folder structure when selecting media in
these tools.

### Can I move files between folders?

Yes, you can easily move files by dragging and dropping them between folders or 
by editing the media file and changing its folder assignment.

### Is there a limit to how many folders I can create?

No, you can create as many folders as you need to organize your media library effectively.

### Will this plugin slow down my website?

CatFolders is optimized for performance and only affects the admin area where you
manage media. It has no impact on your website’s front-end loading speed.

### Can multiple users see and use the same folder structure?

Yes, the folder structure is site-wide and available to all users with appropriate
media library permissions based on their WordPress role.

 [flecki](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flecki/) 4 Tháng 4, 2026

Files and images can be organized into folders, making it much faster to find and
manage content—especially valuable when working with large media libraries. The 
interface is intuitive and integrates seamlessly into the familiar WordPress environment,
so there’s no steep learning curve and you can start working efficiently right away.
Support is also excellent: fast, knowledgeable, and solution-oriented, with quick
and reliable responses. Overall, a real added value for any WordPress site that 
needs better organization, clarity, and time savings in media management. Highly
recommended.

CatFolders enables finding images in the media library much easier. Trying to find
images is otherwise tedious and difficult. Support is quick and helpful. Richard

I’ve been using CatFolders on my site now for about 3 months and it’s made my pages
and media so much easier to manage! I’m also using their Document Library plugin
and it’s allowed me to make a neat, easy to manage document library for my community
group. Even more importantly, when I was seeing some errors in my debug log, CatFolders
responded quickly to my concern and were able to login and repair the problem right
away. Thanks so much for the great service!

Intrusive “Upgrade to Pro” ad that blocks part of my Media Library and contains 
distracting animations. I raised this issue and was directed to another contact 
that was barely responsive, not helpful, and a waste of my time to undertake.

We’re an agency that hosts and maintains numerous client business websites. We use
CatFolders to organize the WordPress media library for our own website as well as
many of our clients’ sites. Both we and our clients appreciate the ease and functionality
of the free version, and when additional features are needed, the Pro version is
an excellent upgrade. On top of that, their support is outstanding—quick, responsive,
and always helpful, making the overall experience even better.
