详情介绍:
Double Youpï Refined Media Library (RML) is a free WordPress plugin that adds folders and collections to the media library. It is also included in Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard, so install one, not both.
The WordPress media library hasn't really changed in years. A few hundred uploads in, you spend more time scrolling than working. Refined Media Library turns it into an actual asset manager, without adding a single per-image setting for you to babysit.

Folders that actually feel like folders
- Real nested folders: create subfolders, drag a folder into another to re-parent it, or drop it between two to reorder, with live drop indicators so there's no guesswork.
- Right-click any folder (or the ⋯ button) for new subfolder, rename, move and delete, in clean designed dialogs rather than the browser's grey pop-ups.
- Collections that ignore folder boundaries, so the same image can sit in several at once.
- Drag media straight onto a folder or collection, from the grid or the list, and upload right into the folder you're looking at.
- Works on top of the native media library, so it behaves the same whether you build with Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg or Divi.
- Automatic alt text and titles, filled in from the filename on upload, but only when you left them blank. It runs on your server and talks to nobody.
- Duplicate detection: re-upload the same file and it gets flagged, with a link to the original.
- An unused-media scanner that finds files no post actually references (featured images, content, custom fields, WooCommerce galleries) and lets you bulk-delete them behind a deliberate double confirmation. It errs on the side of caution: if it can't be sure, it leaves the file alone.
- Editors and administrators manage folders and collections; anyone who can upload files their media.
- Keep the settings to yourself, and hide the Feedback button and the review link in one click.
- Folders, collections and WebP/AVIF copies are available to headless fronts through WPGraphQL and the REST API.
安装:
- Install it from the Plugins screen, or upload it to
/wp-content/plugins/doubleyoupi-refined-media-libraryby hand if that's your thing. - Activate it.
- Open Double Youpï Refined Media Library > Settings and switch on what you want. There isn't much to switch on, which is rather the point.

常见问题:
How do I organize the WordPress media library into folders?
Create a folder in the media library sidebar, then drag files onto it to file them. Folders can be nested as deep as you like, and you reorganize them by dragging one into another or between two others. A file can also belong to one or more collections, which work across folders, so the same image can live in several places at once.
How do I convert images to WebP or AVIF on upload in WordPress?
Enable conversion in the settings and every image you upload is converted to WebP and/or AVIF automatically, after a quick check that your server (Imagick or GD) supports it. Quality is a single slider. If another plugin already handles image conversion, Refined Media Library detects it and steps aside.
How do I find and delete unused images in WordPress?
Run the unused-media scanner. It lists files that no post, page, featured image, custom field or WooCommerce gallery references, and lets you delete them in bulk behind a deliberate double confirmation. When it cannot be sure a file is unused, it leaves it alone.
Does it create real folders, or just categories and filters?
Real folders. You manage them with drag-and-drop and a right-click menu, and they nest as deep as you need. Under the hood they are standard WordPress taxonomies, so nothing is moved on disk and your files stay portable. Disable the plugin and you simply fall back to the stock library, with nothing lost.
Can I import my folders from FileBird, Real Media Library or HappyFiles?
Yes. One-click import is supported for FileBird, Real Media Library, HappyFiles, Folders (Premio) and Enhanced Media Library. It reads the source directly (even if that plugin is deactivated), never modifies it, and the whole import can be undone.
Will it work with my page builder?
Yes. It improves the native media library rather than replacing it, so Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi and everything else all see the same thing.
Does it send my images anywhere?
No. Alt text is built from the filename, right there on your server. Conversion uses Imagick or GD, also local. Nothing about your media leaves your site.
What is the catch with "free"?
There isn't one. This is the standalone version, no strings attached. If it saves you an afternoon and you feel like it, there's a coffee button somewhere. Entirely optional.
Is the code open source?
Yes. It is released under the GPL (version 2 or later), and the code of every release is published on GitHub: github.com/double-youpi/refined-media-library. Bug reports are welcome there as issues; for help, use the support forum here.
更新日志:
0.3.25
- Fix: WebP and AVIF conversion on upload keeps working when another plugin hands back an unexpected value for the image metadata.
- Fix: in the settings, a setting the server cannot use (AVIF) no longer shows a stray checkbox next to its switch.
- Fix: a theme's or plugin's welcome notice no longer lands in the folder column (Hello Elementor).
- Fix: in the media list, the "Attach" link reads as a link when Refined Admin Dashboard is also active.
- Fix: right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian): the folder panel runs along the menu on the right, the detail panel opens on the left, and both resize in the right direction.
- Fix: keyboard focus is visible on the settings cards and in the media library's search and filters; the hidden "Add Media File" button no longer takes the focus.
- Faster: the plugin's settings are read with WordPress's own settings in one database query, instead of separate queries on every page, the public site included.
- Fix: in the media list, every file shows its own thumbnail again (WordPress 7.1 changed the table's markup and they piled up in one place).
- Fix: the "Attach" and "Detach" links of the media list look like links.
- Fix: when Refined Media Library is in charge of the media library and HappyFiles is also active, HappyFiles' folder column is hidden properly and the list takes the full width.
- Change, for sites already in use: creating, renaming, moving and deleting folders and collections is now for editors and administrators. Authors and contributors can no longer change the folder tree; anyone who can upload still files media into folders and collections. The doubleyoupi_filter_manage_folders_cap filter sets another capability.
- New: keep the media library settings to yourself (Settings, Team). Other administrators keep the media library and its folders, without these settings, the Feedback button or the review link. Locked out? Add define( 'DOUBLEYOUPI_UNLOCK_SETTINGS', true ); to wp-config.php.
- The settings group "Feedback" is now called "Team".
- New: hide the Feedback button and the review link in one click (Settings, Feedback). Handy on sites you hand over to clients.
- New: folders, collections and the WebP/AVIF copies are available to headless fronts through WPGraphQL and the REST API. Folder names can be kept private with the doubleyoupi_filter_media_folders_public filter.
- New: Russian translation. It follows WordPress's own Russian vocabulary but has not yet been reviewed by a native speaker: corrections are welcome on translate.wordpress.org.
- Fixed: secondary text in the media library (empty folder and collection messages, detail panel labels, counts) now meets WCAG AA contrast, in the dark and light themes.
- Fixed: text in the accent colour (sorted column, collection tags) stays readable whatever the accent.
- Fixed: on the Settings and Unused media pages, tabs, descriptions and the note about Refined Admin Dashboard are readable in the dark theme, and the accent stays readable in the light theme.
- Fixed: the quality slider in Settings and the type filter of the media screen are now named for screen readers.
- New: a "Leave a review" link beside the Feedback button.
- New: a light theme for the media library, in Settings > Appearance. Dark stays the default.
- Tweak: in the light theme, the "Add Media File" button takes the accent colour.
- Fixed: the warning and danger colours of the Overview buttons show again.
- Translations: the bundled language files no longer carry strings the plugin does not use, and plurals follow the rule of each language (in French and Portuguese, zero is now singular).
- Fixed: the list view pagination buttons no longer show a dropdown arrow.
- New: your folders and collections now appear in the Bricks 2.4 media browser. Open a folder or a collection to filter, create, rename, move and delete folders, and move files, all from the builder.
- New: a file uploaded from the Bricks media browser lands in the folder you have open.
- New: in the builder's "WordPress: Media library" window, the folder panel is there too.
- Fixed: the duplicate badge now shows on duplicate files, in the media grid and in media windows. It did not appear before.
- Fixed: the duplicate badge and its column are translated, and read as a noun in German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
- The Duplicate column is back in the list view when the duplicate badge is on, with a link to the original file.
- Translations: a few Hindi lines were tidied.
- New: Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard is now on WordPress.org, free like this plugin. The Overview shows it with an install button, and Settings mentions it.
- New: a Settings link in the plugin's row on the Plugins screen.
- Fixed: in media windows (such as "Add Media" or "Set featured image"), with infinite scrolling turned off ("Load more"), the thumbnails no longer slide under the folder column.
- The close button of the file details panel in media windows now sits at the same place as in Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard.
- French: the bundled translation now matches the one validated on translate.wordpress.org.
- Under the hood: the feedback form reads the admin address from WordPress instead of assuming /wp-admin/.
- Security: the Unused Media actions (move to the trash, restore, delete for good) are now reserved to administrators, and checked file by file.
- Filing an upload into a folder or a collection now requires the right to edit that file.
- Under the hood: inline styles and scripts go through the WordPress APIs, and admin output is escaped where it is printed.
- New: a switch for the duplicate badge, in Settings. The badge reads every uploaded file to recognise one already in the library, so a new install now starts with it off. Sites that already use the plugin keep it on, including after a reinstall.
- When Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard is active, this plugin now steps aside as soon as it loads, and says so. Your folders, collections and settings stay where they are, and the dashboard uses them.
- Fixed: PHP 8.5 logged a deprecation notice each time an image was converted to WebP or AVIF.
- The Overview no longer lists modules that are not released yet, and says what turning the media library off would change.
- The brand is spelled Double Youpï everywhere, menu included.
- The Preview column of Unused Media no longer cuts its heading short.
- Counted messages read properly when there is only one file. "1 files moved to the trash" is gone, in every language, and a count of zero is simply left unsaid rather than announced.
- Unused Media no longer erases anything. What you remove goes to the trash: it leaves the media library, but the file stays on the server, so a page still showing it keeps working, and one click puts it back with its folders. Erasing for good is now a separate, deliberate act on that trash, and WordPress clears what is left after 30 days.
- Fixed: the screen reported files that are in fact in use. Nine ways of using a file were invisible to it: a file used by another site of a network, a URL kept in a custom field by a page builder, a file whose resized copy alone appears on a page, the site logo, an image set in a widget or a theme option, a [gallery] shortcode, a gallery field holding a list of IDs, a builder storing only the ID, and an image carrying nothing but the class WordPress writes on it.
- Removing now re-checks each file at that moment instead of trusting the list on screen, and leaves alone anything that has been put to use since the scan.
- On a network, "Used by" looks at every site and says which one holds the page. It used to answer "used nowhere" for a file another site was displaying.
- Fixed: the folder panel appeared on post lists and on taxonomy term lists, where it covered the page title and swallowed the "Add New" button. It happens on sites where another plugin loads the media library across the whole admin, which many page builders and custom field plugins do. The panel now shows on the Media screen and inside the media picker, and nowhere else.
- Fixed: on those same screens, the plugin also claimed the area where WordPress prints admin notices, so notices from other plugins could land inside it.
- Fixed: the plugin restyled the search field of the plugin and theme installation screens, and the drop overlay of the content editor.
- French translation: formal address throughout, and wording aligned with the official WordPress French glossary.
- Your folders are now in the media picker, wherever it opens: inserting an image into a post, setting a featured image, choosing a file in a page builder. They were meant to be there and were not.
- The picker now looks like the rest of the plugin, instead of a stock white dialog with a dark panel bolted to its side. Thumbnails, filters and buttons all match the Media screen.
- "All media" and "Media without folder" now show how many files they hold, like every folder already did.
- Fixed: after closing the media picker, the folder panel stayed on top of the post editor until the page was reloaded.
- Fixed: long file names were cut off mid-word under each thumbnail in the picker. They now end in an ellipsis, as on the Media screen.
- Fixed: with a file selected in the picker, bulk buttons appeared two and three times over and landed on top of the date filter.
- Fixed: in the picker, the date filter, the type filter and the search field each sat at a different height.
- Fixed: installing this plugin next to Double Youpï Refined Admin Dashboard brought the whole site down, front end included. The two run side by side now.
- Fixed: with both plugins active, the folder panel sat on top of the page title and the thumbnails covered the file names.
- Feedback sent from a media screen is now filed under this plugin instead of WordPress, so a report about folders or collections lands in the right place.
- The Unused Media screen now carries the same accent colour as every other screen of the plugin. It had kept an older blue.
- French translation: apostrophes are typographic throughout, as most of the interface already was.
- Fixed: on sites where another plugin or some custom CSS changes the width of the WordPress admin sidebar, the folder panel sat behind it. The panel now measures the sidebar instead of assuming its width, and follows it when it is collapsed or resized.
- Fixed: a notice about translations being loaded too early could appear at the top of the Media screen, on the first page load after an update.
- Fixed: on a site that forces one text colour across the whole admin, the folder panel turned unreadable. It now restores its own colours on those screens.
- Fixed: with a long list of folders, the Add Media button and the section headers were squeezed to a fraction of their height. They keep their size now, and the lists scroll instead.
- Fixed: a folder or a collection whose name contains an ampersand displayed it as "&".
- New: a feedback tab on every admin screen, to report a bug or ask for something without leaving the page. It shows you the exact report before it leaves, and sends nothing until you agree. See "External services" above.
- A file you are not allowed to edit now opens read-only, with its information and a line explaining why, instead of an error code.
- The folder panel no longer shows a Settings link to people who cannot open that page.
- When a competing media library plugin is active and holds folders, the notice offers to import them rather than only to switch.
- Fixed: competing plugins were only recognised by their free edition's folder name, so a paid edition went unnoticed and its interface overlapped ours.
- Fixed: menu labels stayed in English on WordPress 6.5 and 6.6.
- Fixed: three strings had lost their translations in every language, including the text of the Import tab.
- Caption and description are now editable straight from the detail panel, next to the title and alt text. Everything a file carries is in one place.
- The four text fields sit in one section, in the order you actually write them: title, alternative text, caption, description. Their labels are clickable.
- Moving to the next file saves what you typed, and drops the cursor back in the same field, so a long captioning run never needs the mouse. Cmd/Ctrl + arrow moves on from inside a field.
- The Save button now tells you something: quiet when there is nothing to save, lit when there is. Each edited field is marked next to its label.
- Folders and Collections sit side by side once you drag the panel wider.
- Fixed: on a site left on Plain permalinks, opening a file from the grid answered 404 and the panel stayed empty.
- Fixed: admin notices printed over the page title instead of lining up with the grid.
- Fixed: pressing Escape in the folder picker closed the whole detail panel.
- Fixed: in list view, the switch between list and grid did not show which view you were on.
- Tidier surfaces: lighter borders in the library, fields that rest on the panel instead of being boxed in, redrawn file-type icons.
- Confirmed with WordPress 7.1.
- French translation aligned with the official WordPress.org glossary and typography.
- New "Mine" filter in the media library toolbar (shown only when several people upload) to quickly narrow to your own files.
- Removed a redundant media-type dropdown so the filters bar is cleaner.
- Fixed a stray horizontal scrollbar above the media grid.
- Lightbox navigation arrows are now crisp SVG icons.
- Readme and wording refresh, clearer feature descriptions and an expanded FAQ. No functional changes.
- Detail panel: the image preview now scales proportionally as you widen the panel, a drag handle underneath resizes the image, and clicking it opens a full-screen lightbox gallery with keyboard navigation.
- Buttons added to the media screen by other plugins (such as Elementor) now move neatly into the folder panel instead of crowding the page title.
- First public release. Nested folders with drag-to-reorganise and a right-click menu, collections, a Finder-style detail panel, duplicate and orphan cleanup, automatic alt text and titles, WebP/AVIF conversion on upload, and one-click import from FileBird, Real Media Library, HappyFiles, Folders and Enhanced Media Library.
