It provides a drag-and-drop interface for easy file management without changing your original file paths or URLs.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"will%20folderly%20affect%20my%20existing%20media%20files%20or%20urls%3F\"><h3>Will Folderly affect my existing media files or URLs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No, Folderly does not alter your existing file paths or URLs. It creates virtual folders that help you organize your files while keeping their original locations intact.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"can%20i%20import%20my%20existing%20folders%20from%20other%20plugins%3F\"><h3>Can I import my existing folders from other plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes. Go to Settings \u2192 Folderly \u2192 Import, and Folderly lists every supported plugin it finds data for, with a row per post type (media, posts, pages, or any other type you have enabled folders for). Tick the post types you want and run the import. It supports HappyFiles, Enhanced Media Library, WP Media Folder, Folders (Premio), Wicked Folders, Media Library Assistant, Media Library Organizer, Media Library Folders, Real Media Library, FileBird, Folderify and iFolders \u2014 and the source plugin does not need to be active.<\/p>\n\n<p>Imports are safe to run again: folders already imported are recognised and skipped, and every item keeps the first folder it was filed in. If you change your mind, each post type has an Undo that removes only the folders that import created.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"is%20folderly%20compatible%20with%20other%20plugins%20and%20themes%3F\"><h3>Is Folderly compatible with other plugins and themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes, Folderly is designed to work seamlessly with most WordPress plugins and themes.

Settings \u2192 Folderly \u2192 Import lists one row per post type for every source plugin it detects, and you choose which to bring over.<\/li>\n<li>New: Three more source plugins \u2014 Media Library Organizer, Folderify and iFolders \u2014 bringing the total to twelve alongside HappyFiles, Enhanced Media Library, WP Media Folder, Folders (Premio), Wicked Folders, Media Library Assistant, Media Library Folders, Real Media Library and FileBird.<\/li>\n<li>New: Undo an import per post type. Only the folders that import created are removed and their items unfiled; folders you made yourself are never touched.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Imports now run in your browser in small batches with a live progress bar, so very large libraries no longer run into server time limits.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Re-running an import is safe \u2014 folders already imported are recognised and skipped, and every item keeps the first folder it was filed in.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Two source folders with the same name under the same parent now import as two separate folders instead of being merged into one.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: The import summary distinguishes items that could not be filed from unreadable rows in the source plugin's own data, so each count means what it says.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: Folders (Premio) and Wicked Folders imports now read the correct taxonomy for each post type.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: WP Media Folder's hidden root container is no longer imported as a stray folder.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: FileBird collections and Real Media Library collections and galleries are no longer imported as folders, and no longer inflate the import totals.<\/li>\n<li>New: Danger Zone tab in Settings \u2192 Folderly \u2014 clear every folder for a post type in one place, with a type-to-confirm safeguard and a progress bar. Your media and posts are untouched; only the folders are removed.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: Clearing all folders on very large sites no longer times out part-way through. It now runs in small batches until done.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: After updating the plugin, your browser no longer mixes old and new Folderly scripts, which could cause JavaScript errors in the admin until you cleared its cache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.6.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: Expanded folders and sidebar width are now remembered separately for each folder-enabled post type, so navigating between the Media library and Posts no longer overwrites the other's tree state.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: Folder search in the sidebar is now case-insensitive, so typing \"invoice\" matches \"Invoices\" without retyping.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: The sidebar now only remembers UI state (expanded folders, sidebar width) instead of caching the entire folder tree, keeping browser storage lean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.6.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Google Drive-style folder browser \u2014 a breadcrumb trail and a child-folder grid appear above the Media Library (grid and list view) and post-type lists, giving you one-click navigation from any folder to any ancestor or child.<\/li>\n<li>New: Drag and drop attachments directly onto folder cards in the new grid to assign them \u2014 no more digging through the sidebar tree.<\/li>\n<li>New: Display settings \u2014 toggle the folder breadcrumb and folder grid independently from Settings \u2192 Folderly to keep the interface focused.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Renaming a folder from the sidebar context menu now updates the breadcrumb and folder grid instantly, without a page reload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improvement: Streamlined the folder management interface for faster loading and a smaller asset footprint.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Smoother folder list updates after creating, renaming, deleting, or reordering folders.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: Folder selection inside the post and page editor now correctly targets media attachments, so the folder filter behaves as expected when inserting media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: Organize media, posts, and pages into virtual folders directly from the WordPress admin.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Refined post-type settings screen for choosing which content types use folders.<\/li>\n<li>Improvement: Clearer feedback when creating folders and during drag-and-drop operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Support post type folders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Refactor the codebase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Supports page builders and themes<\/li>\n<li>Elementor<\/li>\n<li>Beaver Builder<\/li>\n<li>Brizy Builder<\/li>\n<li>Divi Builder<\/li>\n<li>Thrive Architect<\/li>\n<li>Fusion Builder (Avada)<\/li>\n<li>Oxygen Builder<\/li>\n<li>Tatsu Builder<\/li>\n<li>Bricks Builder<\/li>\n<li>BeTheme<\/li>\n<li>Breakdance Builder<\/li>\n<li>Zion Builder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.1.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial Commit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Folderly is a user-friendly WordPress plugin that lets you organize documents, media files, and posts into virtual folders.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/204600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204600"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/wpfolderly"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=204600"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=204600"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=204600"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=204600"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=204600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
