Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Media Shelf – Media Library Folders

No. Folders are WordPress taxonomy terms, which is metadata only. Files and their URLs stay exactly where WordPress put them.

Yes. Hold Alt (Option on a Mac) while dropping, or use "Also add to folder…" in the list view. You can also make Add the default in the settings.

They are the number of files directly in that folder. Files in subfolders are counted in the subfolder. Switching from Enhanced Media Library Enhanced Media Library's categories are ordinary WordPress taxonomies, so nothing has to be copied or converted: Keep Enhanced Media Library active for now and activate Media Shelf. On the Dashboard, Plugins or Media screen, Media Shelf shows a notice listing the taxonomies it found. Click "Import now" (or "Review first" to see them under Media → Media Shelf). Your media categories, and any extra taxonomies you created in Enhanced Media Library, appear as folder sets in the panel, with every file assignment intact. Deactivate Enhanced Media Library. Gallery and playlist shortcodes that filter by its taxonomies, such as [gallery media_category="5"], keep working. Media Shelf only takes over folders and categories. Enhanced Media Library's other settings, such as its MIME type options, are not imported.

Media Shelf extends WordPress's own media dialog, so it appears wherever a plugin uses it. It is tested with the Classic Editor plugin (Add Media and Featured image) and with Elementor's image controls.

Yes. Network-activate it or activate it on individual sites. Each site has its own folders and settings. When the plugin is deleted, the clean-up runs on every site.

By default they stay in the database. If you tick "Delete Media Shelf's folders when the plugin is deleted", folders created by Media Shelf are removed. Files are never deleted, and imported Enhanced Media Library sets and post categories are always kept.

Yes, as an optional, separate add-on (Media Shelf Pro). It adds auto-filing rules for uploads, folder permissions per role or user, a folder gallery block and shortcode, sort options, and ZIP download of folders. Nothing in this free plugin is limited or locked, and it never asks you to upgrade.

No. It sends nothing anywhere. See Privacy below.
