This plugin provides some simple organization of files in the Media library of WordPress as well as a shortcode for listing files within defined group(s). Files listed by the shortcode are ordered alphabetically by file name/title.

The file listing is generated every time the page is generated (i.e. if files are added/edited/deleted from a folder, those changes will be reflected on any page using the shortcode the next time the page is generated)

This plugin adds a "Folder" taxonomy to the media library (similar to categories for posts). Files can be added to these folders while editing a file via the WordPress Media library.

A menu item for "Folders" is added to the WordPress Admin menu under "Media". You can add/edit/delete folders from here. As files are assigned to folders, you can also come here and click on the number in the "Files" column for a given folder to see a filtered list of files associated with that folder.

[file-list folder="<folder-slug>" _relation="<AND/OR>"_]

<folder-slug> is the slug for the folder that you want to display. Easy copy & paste shortcodes for single folders are provided on the Folders page under the Media menu item in the WordPress Admin. There is support for multiple folders by using a comma separated list of the folder slugs (see examples section below).

The relation parameter is optional. Valid values are AND or OR. If multiple folders are supplied and no relation parameter is given, then it defaults to AND.

• This will provide an Unordered list (<ul>) of all files in the folder "foo"

[file-list folder="foo"]

• This will provide an Unordered list (<ul>) of all files that are in both folders "foo" AND "bar"

[file-list folder="foo,bar"]

• This will provide an Unordered list (<ul>) of all files that are in both folders "foo" AND "bar" (i.e. the relation parameter is optional)

[file-list folder="foo,bar" relation="AND"]

• This will provide an Unordered list (<ul>) of all files that are in either folder "foo" OR "bar" (i.e. displays all files in both folders)

[file-list folder="foo,bar" relation="OR"]
