FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Virtual Media Folders

Virtual folder organization for the WordPress Media Library.

Way back in 2006 (20 years ago!), I released ImageManager 2.0, a popular WordPress plugin for image management and editing. Virtual Media Folders is my modern take on media organization for WordPress, built with React and modern tooling.

Description

Virtual Media Folders brings folder organization to your WordPress Media Library. Organize your media files into hierarchical folders without moving files on disk—folders are virtual, so your URLs never change.

Features

Virtual Folders – Create hierarchical folder structures to organize media
Drag & Drop – Move media between folders with drag and drop
Sticky Sidebar – Folder navigation stays visible while scrolling
Gutenberg Integration – Filter media by folder in the block editor
Bulk Actions – Move multiple media items at once
Keyboard Accessible – Full keyboard navigation with screen reader support
Internationalized – Translation ready (Norwegian Bokmål included)

Free add-ons

Use the add-on manager to install and manage add-ons that extend Virtual Media Folders from a dedicated admin screen:

AI Ability – Registers MCP tools for AI agents via the WordPress Abilities API.
AI Organizer – Uses vision-capable AI models to analyze actual image content and automatically organize your media library into virtual folders. This is add-on functionality requiring an API key from a supported AI service provider.
Editorial Workflow – Role-based folder access, move restrictions, and Inbox workflow.
Folder Exporter – Export folders (or subtrees) as ZIP archives with optional CSV manifests.
Media Cleanup – Detect unused, duplicate, and oversized media — then archive, trash, or flag for review.
Migrate – Migrate folder structures from other media folder plugins to Virtual Media Folders.
Rules Engine – Rule-based automatic folder assignment for media uploads, based on metadata, file type, EXIF or IPTC data.

Requirements

WordPress 6.8+
PHP 8.3+

Organizing Media

Click a folder to filter the view

Settings

Show "Uncategorized"	Display folder for unassigned media
Jump to folder after move	Navigate to target folder after moving
Default folder for uploads	Auto-assign new uploads to a folder

Block Editor

AI Abilities

With the AI Ability add-on installed, the following Abilities API tools are available for AI agents and MCP adapters:

vmfo/list-folders (read-only): Lists folders with id, name, parent_id, path, and count.
vmfo/create-folder (write): Creates a folder with name and optional parent_id.
vmfo/add-to-folder (write): Adds one or more attachments to a folder using folder_id and attachment_ids.

Recommended flow for AI clients:

Call vmfo/list-folders to resolve folder names and paths to a stable id.
If needed, call vmfo/create-folder to create the target folder.
Call vmfo/add-to-folder with that folder_id and one or more attachment_ids.

This avoids ambiguity when folder names are duplicated under different parents.

Permission model:

vmfo/list-folders and vmfo/add-to-folder require the upload_files capability.
vmfo/create-folder requires the manage_categories capability.
