<h3>Product Description</h3>
<p>WP Real Media Library is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily manage your media library in your blog. Using this plugin, you'll be able to organize the thousands of <strong>images, audio, video, and PDF files</strong> in your media library in folders. Basically, it's like WordPress <strong>categories</strong> for your media library.</p>
<p>Why do you need this plugin? Well, having a growing WordPress blog means that you'll be adding a lot of new media files, like images, audio, and PDF, into your database every day. In a few weeks, your blog will be filled with thousands of media files. How are you going to find one of those files at a later time?</p>
<p>Of course, you can use the WordPress search function and spend a couple of hours finding a file, but who can even remember the names of thousands of files and what happens then?</p>
<p>That's where the WP Real Media Library plugin comes in. With this plugin, you can easily create gallery folders for your images and normal folders for other media files to properly organize your media library. So that next time whenever you need to find a file, <strong>it's only a mouse-click away</strong>.</p>
<p>Organizing your blog media files with WP Real Media Library plugin is as easy as <strong>dragging and dropping the files into folders</strong>. Then you can rearrange the order of your files by dragging them around to bring the important files to the top of the list for quicker access. </p>
<p>The Tree View of your folders will also make things easier for you to quickly find specific folders in a split-second. </p>
<p>In addition, you can use the WP Real Media Library plugin to insert media galleries to your posts directly from the WordPress 'New Post' editor. This will allow you to insert an entire media folder into your WordPress posts as a customizable gallery.</p>
<p>WP Real Media Library is a <strong>must-have WordPress plugin</strong> that will help save you a ton of time that goes into managing your media files.</p>

<h3>Structure</h3>
<p>As you can see from the screenshots RML (Real Media Library) supports three different folder types:</p>
<ul>
   <li><strong>The normal folder: </strong>A folder can contain every type of file and collections, but no galleries. If you want to create a subfolder simply select a folder from the list and click this button.<br /><br /></li>
   <li><strong>The collection: </strong>A collection can contain no files. But you can create there other collections and <strong>galleries</strong>. The mentioned above gallery is only a <i>gallery data folder</i>, that means they are not automatically in your frontend (your website).<br/>You can create a <strong>visual gallery</strong> from this <i>gallery data folder</i> via the Visual Editor in your page/post.<br /><br /></li>
   <li><strong>The gallery folder: </strong>A <i>gallery data folder</i> can only contain images. It is simplier for you to distinguish where your visual galleries are.<br/>You can also order the images into <strong>a custom image order</strong> per drag&drop.</li>
</ul>
<h3>FAQ</h3>
<a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/wp-real-media-library-media-categories-folders/13155134/comments">Question? <strong>Write a comment here</strong></a> or have a look at the <a href="https://matthias-web.com/wordpress/real-media-library/faq/">official RML FAQ</a><br /><br />
<ul>
<li><strong>If I move images around in my folders will they still be referenced correctly on the frontend wordpress site?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes, do not worry about references.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>How do I update to a newer version of RML?</strong>
<ul>
<li>After activating open the "License settings" in the plugins list item "WP Real Media Library" and enter the Envato purchase code that you get after the purchase. You do not see the "Enter license" link? Then you are using an old version (< 4.1.0) of Real Media Library. Please download the latest version from CodeCanyon, uninstall the old version and install the new one - your folders stay.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Is there a way to select multiple files to be put into a folder?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Just use the ‘bulk select’ Button in media grid. If you are using table mode check the entries and move.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>When i create a post i want to select an image from a specific folder, can i do this with this plugin?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes, you can filter in a insert-dialog with the dropdown beside the search.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Why three different folder types?</strong>
<ul>
<li>This provides a better overview. You can simply distinguish where your image galleries are.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Does it work with my Revolution Slider?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>I have WPML installed, the number of images in the folder does not match the number of shown images?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes, in WPML you see your uploaded files depending on your current admin language. WPML says “This language selector determines which content to display. You can choose items in a specific language or in all languages.” &gt; Set it to “All languages” in the admin toolbar.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Does the plugin work with my current images and files?</strong>
<ul>
<li>Yes, just install and play.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Does the plugin touch the file structure?</strong>
<ul>
<li>No. But you can use an add-on like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/physical-custom-upload-folder/">Physical Custom Upload Folder</a> or <a href="https://matthias-web.com/go/codecanyon/23104206">WP Real Physical Media</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Does the plugin change the image URLs?</strong>
<ul>
