FAQ-e

Will it slow down my website?

No. Mediamatic uses its own custom database tables for folder indexing. This completely avoids costly JOIN queries on wp_posts and scales to 100,000+ files with no performance impact.

Can I export folders?

Yes. Go to Mediamatic > Export to export your existing folders structure.

Does it work with Elementor’s media picker?

Yes. The folder panel appears inside Elementor’s media modal.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Your media files are untouched. Folder assignments are stored separately and can be re-activated at any time.

Although the plugin does pretty much exactly what it says (it’s basically just for ORGANIZING and FILTERING media). Even though not written directly, I was indirectly (the stuff implied between the lines) advertised there would be a simple gallery insertion by inserting something like the folder shortcode which there is not. That is why I’m not giving full 5, because I believe the very purpose of such plugin is to be able to put it somewhere in the end. I was able to program it – the plugin is very readable and lightly written, but I can’t show you how, because moderators here are funky sometimes 🙂

This looks like a decent plugin, though I haven’t tried it. I’m only reaching out here, so I can ask developer to STOP SENDING SPAM via contact forms. Thanks 🙂

I have several thousand images in my library. Mediamagic implements a hierarchical file structure that greatly simplifies the task of finding a given image. On thing I particularly like is that images is assigned category names identical to the names of files where they reside.
