FAQ
Example:
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 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.

- Inbox workflow — Contributors upload to an inbox; editors triage and move onward

Requirements
- WordPress 6.8+
- PHP 8.3+
- Virtual Media Folders plugin
Installation
- Download
vmfa-editorial-workflow.zip - Upload via
Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin - Activate via
WordPress Admin → Plugins
Plugin updates are handled automatically via GitHub. No need to manually download and install updates.
Configuration
Folder Permissions
Navigate to Media → VMF Settings → Editorial Workflow to configure:
- Permission Matrix — Set view/move/upload/remove permissions per folder per role
- Inbox Mapping — Assign default upload folders for each role
- Approved Folder — Choose which folder approved items are moved to
Supported Roles
The permission settings automatically include all roles that have the upload_files capability — not just Editor and Author. This means custom roles are fully supported:
- Custom roles like "Contributor with upload" or "Shop Manager" will appear automatically
- Any role granted the
upload_filescapability via plugins (e.g., Members, User Role Editor) will be configurable - Administrator is excluded from settings as they always have full access to all folders
To add the upload_files capability to a custom role, you can use a role management plugin or run the following WP-CLI command:
Default Permissions
Out of the box, the plugin applies sensible defaults:
- Editor — Full access to all folders by default (can be restricted via settings)
- Author — No access by default (must be explicitly granted permissions)
- Custom roles — No access by default (must be explicitly granted permissions)
Permission Types
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| View | Can see the folder in the sidebar and browse media inside it |
| Move To | Can drag-and-drop or assign media INTO this folder |
| Upload To | New uploads from this role can be routed to this folder via Inbox Mapping |
| Delete | Can delete this folder (system folders are always protected) |
Note: Moving media from Folder A to Folder B only requires "Move To" permission on Folder B (and "View" on both). Anyone can remove media to Uncategorized.
Workflow Folders
On activation, the plugin creates protected system folders:
/Workflow/Needs Review— Items pending editorial review/Workflow/Approved— Items that have been approved
These folders cannot be renamed or deleted.
Review Screen
Access Media → Review to:
- View all items needing review
- Bulk approve items (moves to Approved folder)
- Bulk assign items to destination folders
- See notification badge with count of pending items
Development
See docs/development.md for build instructions, testing, hooks reference, and REST API documentation.
