    Greetings,
    I uploaded photos to the wp-content/uploads and am trying to add them to the media library. The only solution I came up with was using the browse, and go to the ftp site in windows directory, and then going to the folder there, and then uploading again?

    I am unable to figure out how to do this, or am I making it over complicated?
    Any help out there?

    Thanks
    Beth

    There’s a plugin called “Add From Server” that will add uploaded files to the media library.

    I found that… finally. Installed and activated, hoping it will work with the latest version of WordPress, the plugin directory said it wasn’t testing with the newest one.
    Thanks for the reply
