Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin” and “directories” for “folder” and “organize media library”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “folder” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “directories” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “organize media library” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 30.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “admin” and “directories” for “folder” and “organize media library”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “folder” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “directories” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “organize media library” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

It’s pretty basic, but gets the job done. Thanks!

<font _mstmutation=”1″></font> Organize Media Library by FoldersからOrganize Media Folderの切替をしていますが、 新のOrganize Media Folderではフォルダーの内容が一部表示されません。プラグインを置き換えるだけで自動的に元のフォルダーの状態になるのではないですか。 よろしくお願いいたします。 <font _mstmutation=”1″></font> <font _mstmutation=”1″></font> <font _mstmutation=”1″></font> <font _mstmutation=”1″></font> <font _mstmutation=”1″></font>

Thank you very much for writing this plugin. I have a woocommerce shop with about 50 products and 60+ variations per product. Managing the files in year/month folders very cumbersome. With your plugin, I was able to replicate the product category structure + the sku name, which makes finding related media a breeze.

I was able to organize my theme demo files, audio, and uploaded files all with a few mouse clicks. Some bad review because they didn’t even try. It’s laid out pretty logicly I thought and VERY powerful plugin!

This one doesn’t even detect the folders already done before. So there’s nothing much i can do with it… Or there’s a way to make them appear i haven’t spotted but the plugin is too confusing for that… Or it’s a paid feature again…

This does exactly what I want. I like being able to have the physical files structured and match inside WordPress without having to do both separately. I like that once set-up, it is a simple extension to the media library for managing rather than a whole new interface. My only suggestion would be to make it easier to select the folder you want when uploading files anywhere. Maybe integrating what this plugin in the wordpress repository does, “custom upload folder” so that you have a dropdown selection for the folder in the uploads box or pop-up. But overall, great plugin that does exactly what it needs to cover the basics of managing the physical media files inside WordPress.

If it takes me more than 10 minutes to learn it, then I don’t want it.

I’ve used this plugin for some time now and it have really been a big help to organize my media files for photo-albums. Just brilliant.
