Enhanced Media Library PRO

Enhanced Media Library PRO adds utilities for sorting, finding, editing, and displaying files in the WordPress media library. Its controls fit into the WordPress administration interface, so media organization stays within the usual library process.

Organize and find media

Create unlimited categories and tags, define custom taxonomies, or assign third-party taxonomies to media items. Configure filters to display or conceal data, author, and taxonomy controls, with separate settings for each taxonomy. Filters can include or exclude child categories. Advanced search narrows results as you type the first letters of an entry's name.

Edit and browse the library

• Apply unlimited, super-fast bulk edits without switching to a special mode.
• Choose whether media items display their title, filename, or caption.
• Reorder items directly in the library with drag and drop.
• Use infinite scroll or set manageable loads per page.
• Automatically categorize media items associated with posts.

Build galleries and playlists

Set up dynamic galleries and playlists using dropdowns and checkboxes. Additional parameters for the WordPress gallery and playlist shortcodes can limit items by media category or another taxonomy, month, year, or item limit.

Manage file types and settings

Add or remove MIME types, allow or disallow uploads, and include file types in media filters when needed. Plugin settings can be exported, imported, or restored. To move a library to another website, use WordPress's built-in content export and import for the content, then transfer the plugin settings to reproduce its configuration.

WordPress integration and multisite

The plugin supports custom and code-registered taxonomies, REST API access, and WordPress hooks for media taxonomies and items. It uses no custom database tables, and deactivation leaves media items and taxonomies in place.

For multisite, network administrators can activate the plugin across the network and choose which settings administrators can use. The PRO license key is activated once for the network.

Installation and compatibility

Install the plugin through the WordPress plugin workflow, activate it, and open its settings in the administration area. Create taxonomies, configure filters, and adjust media options before organizing the library. On multisite, network-activate the plugin and configure the options available to administrators.

The plugin listing warns that it has not been tested with the latest three major WordPress releases and may have compatibility issues with newer versions. Check compatibility with your WordPress installation before relying on it.
