Enhanced Media Library PRO

For a WordPress site with a large media library, Enhanced Media Library PRO provides ways to categorize, find, edit, and show documents from the familiar WordPress administration interface.

Categories and filters

Create unlimited categories and tags, define custom taxonomies, or assign third-party taxonomies to media entries. Configure filters to show or hide data, author, and taxonomy controls, with separate options for each taxonomy. Filters can include or exclude child categories, and advanced search finds items by the first letters of their names.

Managing media items

• Apply unlimited bulk edits across media selections.
• Choose whether items display their title, filename, or caption.
• Reorder items in the library with drag and drop.
• Use infinite scroll or set the number of items loaded per page.
• Automatically categorize media items attached to posts.

Galleries and playlists

Configure dynamic galleries and playlists with dropdowns and checkboxes. The [gallery] and [playlist] shortcodes accept parameters to limit items by media category or another taxonomy, month, year, or entry count. These options let you display selected collections or time periods.

MIME types and settings

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

WordPress integration and multisite

Custom and code-registered taxonomies are supported, along with REST API access and WordPress hooks for media taxonomies and items. The add-on uses no custom database tables; deactivation leaves media items and taxonomies in place. On multisite, network administrators can activate the plugin and select which options 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, then open its settings in the administration area. Create taxonomies and configure filters and media options. For multisite, network-activate the plugin and set the options available to administrators.
