FileBird Pro gives WordPress site administrators a visual folder structure for media and other content. Media folders are virtual, so moving a file between folders does not change its permalink in page or post content.

Media folders and unchanged links

Create folders and subfolders, drag uploads into place, bulk-move files, or select a destination folder when uploading. Arrange the folder tree from the collapsible sidebar. A folder’s context menu lets you make subfolders, rename or color folders, cut, paste, and delete them.

Search file and folder names in the media library or while browsing images in the page and post editor. FileBird Pro includes two folder-sorting methods and ten file-sorting methods, including sorting by file size. Choose Dropbox or Windows 11 styling for folder icons, set a specific startup folder or return to the last-opened folder, and find or change a file’s folder from its details modal.

Media exports and migration

Download a media folder as a ZIP that includes its subfolders and files while preserving the folder structure. You can also export the full media folder structure for migration to another site or backup. Import and synchronize folder structures from Enhanced Media Library, WP Media Folder by JoomUnited, WordPress Media Library Folders by Max Foundry, Real Media Library, and HappyFiles.

Content types and integrations

The free version works with one-level folders for posts and pages. FileBird Pro adds multi-level folders for both, along with folder support for WooCommerce products, coupons, and other custom post types. Its visitor-based folder view lets administrators and other customers create personal folders without changing another user’s folder structure.

Selected Pro integrations extend folder support to themes, page builders, translation utilities, and other extensions. Examples include Avada, Divi, Enfold, Uncode, Jupiter, Flatsome, Salient, XStore, KLEO, Bricks Builder, Elementor, WPML, Polylang, Beaver Builder, Visual Composer, Oxygen, Thrive Architect, Classic Editor, Slider Revolution, EWWW Image Optimizer, and FooGallery.

Installation and first setup

Install and activate FileBird Pro in WordPress, then open the media management area. Create folders or subfolders and drag existing uploads into them, or choose a destination folder when uploading new files. Use the migration and export tools to import an existing folder structure or preserve one for another site.
