Folders for photographers and studios
Ten client projects a month can leave you with 100+ projects in a year, alongside galleries, portfolio entries, templates, and older work.
Group them by client, year, project type, or archive. Plathix PRO adds private folders to pages, posts, gallery and portfolio lists; Plathix Free already keeps the photos themselves in Media Library folders.
A hundred projects a year, one list
Every shoot or project adds a gallery, a page, sometimes a portfolio entry and a template. After a year the lists hold everything you ever delivered.
Older work stays because clients come back for it and the portfolio still links to it. Finding this month’s projects means scrolling past all of it.
Folders by client, year or project type keep the current work in front, and the older work one click away.
Folders that match how a studio works

Every gallery and page for one client together.

Each list gets its own tree. The Media Library has its own tree in Plathix Free.
Galleries and sliders
Pages and portfolio
Your portfolio stays the one clients see
| What you do | What changes | What stays as it is |
|---|---|---|
| Put a gallery in a folder | Its Plathix folder | The gallery, its images, its shortcode, its page |
| Move last year’s projects to “Archive” | The folder tree in wp-admin | Portfolio pages and their links |
| Rename a client folder | The folder tree in wp-admin | Every page on the site |
| Turn Plathix PRO off | The lists look like plain WordPress | Your folders wait in the database and come back |
Folders have no URLs and never appear in a gallery or on the site.
