Easy Media Link
Easy Media Link
Description
Easy Media Link puts the Media Library right at your fingertips on the front end. When a logged-in user with the capability to upload files visits the site (not wp-admin), this plugin adds a handy “Media Library” link to the admin bar’s site menu.
Key points:
– Only shows to users who can upload_files.
– Only displays on the front end (not inside wp-admin).
– Uses admin_url( 'upload.php' ) so it works with multisite and subdirectory installs.
– Zero configuration. No settings page. Activate and go.
– No tracking, no external calls, no ads.
Privacy: This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
Installation
- Upload the
easy-media-linkfolder to/wp-content/plugins/(or install via Plugins Add New by uploading the ZIP). - Activate the plugin through Plugins in WordPress.
- While logged in, visit any front-end page. Open the admin bar and look under the site menu for Media Library.
