This Plugin Saved My Sanity (And My Media Library)!

By arianfar on July 25, 2026

I honestly can't thank the developer enough for this plugin. Before I found "Organize Media Folder," my WordPress media library was an absolute disaster zone. I had thousands of images, PDFs, and files all dumped into one single, chaotic folder. Finding anything was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and I was spending way too much time just scrolling through pages of uploads.

This plugin changed everything. It’s incredibly simple to use, yet so powerful. I can finally create a proper folder structure (by year, by project, or by type) and move all my existing files into them with just a few clicks.

But the real lifesaver for me was the URL replacement feature. I was terrified that moving all my files would break all my old posts and pages. To my surprise, this plugin automatically updates every single link in my content when I move a file. No broken images, no dead links – it just works seamlessly!

It’s lightweight, fast, and has made managing my website so much more enjoyable. If you're feeling overwhelmed by a messy media library, do yourself a favor and install this plugin. It's one of the best tools I've ever added to WordPress.

Thank you so much, Katsushi Kawamori, for creating such a practical and reliable solution. You've made my workflow so much smoother!

Fantastic

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

Organize Media Library by Foldersからの切替

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。

Made moving more than 10,000 files into 50+ folders a breeze!

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.

Exactly What I Needed for Audio

By burchpiano on September 15, 2023

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!

Too confusing

By maxlefou on August 9, 2023

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...

Works exactly as expected

By kenmundell on July 3, 2023

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.

too complicated

By artdragon on June 21, 2022

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

Brilliant

By ragnarfredrik on December 14, 2021

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.
