Organize your WordPress Media Library, Post Types & Plugins like a Pro.

Create & Manage Unlimited Folders

HappyFiles PRO let’s create & manage an unlimited number of media folders. The free version (but no longer available version) of HappyFiles was limited to a maximum of 10 folders.

Organize All Your Post Types & Plugins

Categorize all your post types with HappyFiles PRO: Posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products, orders, coupons, etc. You can organize even your plugins in folders.

SVG Upload, Sanitization & Preview

Enable SVG uploads in WordPress with automatic file sanitization and SVG file preview from the HappyFiles settings.

Intuitive Drag & Drop Interface

Create & arrange your media folders as you would do on your computer. Add sub folders as many levels deep as you want.

Fast Media Management

Easily move media files individually or in bulk between categories. Create, rename, delete, and arrange categories within seconds.

Create Galleries From Folders

Create beautiful, dynamic, and highly customisable galleries from your media folders. Either via the “happyfiles_gallery” shortcode, the “HappyFiles Gallery” Gutenberg block or Bricks element.

Bonus: Enable the highly customisable, built-in HappyFiles gallery lightbox.

Direct Upload To Any Category

Select a media folder and upload your new files directly into it. Another great little time-saver. Available in your media library and the “Add New” media screen.

Resizable Sidebar

Resize HappyFiles’ media sidebar to your liking and toggle the sidebar on/off altogether when you have to. Your custom sidebar size setting will be saved.

Import Existing Media Folders from other Plugins

HappyFiles let’s you import media folders created by other media folder plugins with one click. And delete their plugin data afterwards with another click.
