Media Library Folders

About this Plugin

Adds a virtual folder system to the WordPress media library using a native WordPress taxonomy (media_folder) attached to the attachment post type. A folder sidebar is injected into the Upload screen (upload.php) via JavaScript, providing click-to-filter navigation and AJAX folder creation/rename/delete. Files can be assigned to folders from within the attachment detail modal. No custom database tables are used — data is stored in WordPress's term system.
