Media Library Categories Premium 2.4.2
Description
Media Library Categories Premium is a WordPress plugin that adds categories to your Media Library so you can organize images, files, and other uploads more effectively. Instead of relying on dates or manual search, you can filter media by category directly in the WordPress admin.
After activation, a category dropdown appears in the Media Library, making it easier to locate the right asset for posts, pages, and custom content. It also supports bulk category updates, so you can reclassify multiple items quickly and keep your library consistent over time.
For teams building content-heavy sites (including WooCommerce stores or Elementor-based layouts), this reduces workflow friction and helps maintain a cleaner, more manageable media system across WordPress.
