Organize WordPress Media Library With Categories
Fully syncs with the Enhanced Media Library plugin
Today we are pleased to announce Media Library Folders Pro which includes our new categories capability for Media Library images. Up to now it required using a separate media library categories plugin to include categories with Media Library images. MLFP now lets you categorize your images. Additionally our categories feature is compatible with the Enhanced Media Library plugin which adds a taxonomy for images called ‘media_categories’.
Aside from the ability to view your images based on categories we have also included the ability to move part or an entire category into a folder. This makes migrating to a real folders based solution quick and easy. Our integrations with NextGen Galleries, The WordPress Gallery, Jetpack Galleries along with our featured page/post image capability can also be used with our categories function.
The Enhanced Media Library plugin and MLFP both add Media Categories to the Media Library post type. So when you add new categories in EML or in MLFP the new categories are shared with both plugins. So your category taxonomy is always saved and shared.
From this area you can:
- Add a new category
- Set the category of items in the media library
- View the categories of a single item
- Display items by categories
- Change the sort order of items in categories
To view all the images in one or more categories, check the checkboxes of the categories you want to view and press the View Categories button. If there are more than 40 items to display you can turn on pagination for easier viewing. With the items displayed by categories, you can select items from the list to perform move, copy, regenerate thumbnails or add to a MaxGalleria gallery operations.

You can also use this same method to quickly convert categories to folders by selecting all of the files in a category and dragging them to a new folder.
