Feels Native to WordPress
We spent hours to make Enhanced Media Library operates as though it were native WordPress functionality. All plugin features are incorporated into WordPress UI seamlessly.
Developer-Friendly
- Core hooks just work for media taxonomies and media items
- All taxonomies supported: custom and code-registered
- REST API supported out of the box
- No custom tables in the database
- Deactivation makes no harm to data: all media items and taxonomies remain after deactivation
Export / Import / Restore Plugin Settings
If you need to move your media library to another website you should export and import WordPress content with WordPress built-in export/import. But to make the Enhanced Media Library work on the new site with the same settings you are provided with the export/import feature.
Multisite compatible
Network activate the plugin and choose which options will be available to your admins. In the PRO version, the license key should be activated once for the whole network.

Incompatibility
Please notice that you use Enhanced Media Library with other plugins that add media categories, media folders, or manage MIME Types at your own risk. We cannot guarantee their compatibility because of the different approaches to the same functionality. We do not recommend using other media library (folder) plugin at the same time with the Enhanced Media Library.
Please choose the one you prefer.
