Create Unlimited Folders In The Free Version ??

Folders is a WordPress plugin that enables users to organize all of their Pages, Posts, and Media files in folders. Easily drag and drop items into directories and change the folders tree view (hierarchy). Check out Folders Pro Plans.

?? How Folders Plugin Can Help You

Use Folders plugin to organize WordPress content:

• Keep all of your media files organized in folders including photos, videos, music, main website pages, and blog posts. You can also organize media library files in multiple folders.
• Web developers: keep your clients’ website pages in proper order. Mark a folder with a star or give it a unique name for clients to understand what is important.
• Bloggers: manage your own content with ease with this file manager plugin. Organize photos and content by topics, categories, and/or dates.
• Quickly upload pages, media, and content to your WordPress and easily organize them into directories.
• Mark certain folders as important to quickly find the content you need for your WordPress projects.
• Media replace: replace media files with other files. Whenever you replace media, the change will reflect throughout your website on all your pages, posts, etc.

Note: adding a page/post/image into a folder will not change its URL. The folders plugin creates virtual folders, it doesn’t create actual folders in your server or WordPress installation.

?? Live Demo

A live demo for the Folders plugin is available at Premio’s demo site.

Great plugin

ellenatwordpress November 20, 2024

This is a great plugin. Makes it so easy when you have tons of images & pages.

Works like. Charm

polfre November 20, 2024

Nice plugin

Works great – keeps me organized!

teejam November 3, 2024

Good plugin overall.

Must Have For Photos and Posts

nola5oh4 October 31, 2024

My site has lots of posts and pix. I couldn’t keep things organized without this plugin. Everything has a place and place for everything. Folders keeps me organized and easily creates new filing folders. I hope this Plugin does really well because it is so useful and I don’t know what I’d do without it. Plus, it handles posts and pix. I looked at some plugins that only did pix.

Exactly what WordPress needed

panozfan October 22, 2024

Since Pages and folders in WordPress can quickly become confusing, especially if you have many subpages, the Folders plugin is very useful and exactly what has been missing. Folders provides a great overview and makes it easy to organize your folders. It’s incomprehensible that you don’t have the option to try just one subfolder in the free version. Users will quickly see the value in upgrading to the Folders Pro plugin.

Big Time Saver

georgeodom October 22, 2024

I love folders pro, I have a ton of product images that we change from time to time and the native wp gallery would get so messy. Keeping images in folders by product or category is a big time saver and helps me clean up unused images a lot quicker.
