Media Library Overview · Free + PRO

See the state of your Media Library in one place

WordPress shows you files. It does not show the state of the whole library.

Plathix Home puts the main numbers together: uploads, file types, unsorted media, folder structure, and disk use.

See where to look before opening the file grid.

Know where to start

Open Home and the first screen answers questions that are hard to judge from the normal WordPress file grid.

Try Plathix Free →
What was added recently?
How much is still unsorted?
What kinds of files make up the library?
How large and deep is the folder structure?
How much disk space does the Media Library use?
Get the overview first. Then decide what deserves attention.
Upload activity

Catch sudden upload bursts

See the last 7 or 30 days and the busiest upload day.

If the chart shows 42 files in one day, you know exactly when that batch arrived.

Check that batch for files that still need sorting while you still remember what was uploaded.

Unsorted files

Turn cleanup into visible progress

“My Media Library is a mess” is hard to act on.

“187 files still need a folder” gives you a clear starting point.

Plathix shows the unsorted count and its share of the whole library.

Use Fix to open those files. As you sort them, the number goes down.

File types

See what makes up your library

One chart shows the mix of images, PDFs, SVG files, and other media.

If one format dominates, you know what kind of content makes up most of the library.

That shows what kind of content you are dealing with before cleanup, migration, or workflow changes.

Folder structure

Judge the folder structure without opening every branch

A large library can have a clean structure or a deep, tangled one.

Home shows the structure without making you expand every branch in the sidebar.

  • See total folders and files outside folders.
  • Check the deepest folder level.
  • See how many folders are marked as favorites.
  • Check Media Library disk use.

See how far the structure has spread before you start working through it.

Guided next steps

When there is a next step, Home shows it

Home shows actions that match the current state of the site.

01

Still setting up Plathix?

Home reminds you about infinite scroll and your SVG policy while they still need attention. Finished cards disappear.

Explore Plathix settings →
02

Moving from another folder plugin?

If Plathix detects a supported folder plugin, Home shows an import option.

See migration options →
03

No folder structure yet?

If there is no folder structure yet, Home suggests a ready media folder preset. Presets organize the Media Library only, including in PRO.

Explore folder presets →
The status strip reports “All good” or an issue count.

Moving from another folder plugin?

If Plathix finds a folder plugin it can import from, Home shows a migration notice.

You will see that an import is possible before you start looking through settings.

Before you move anything, see which plugins Plathix imports from and how the import works. Per-plugin migration guides are being published.

The import recreates the folder hierarchy with its file assignments. It is non-destructive: the other plugin keeps its own data. Back up the site before you import.

Day-to-day use

Home is not just for setup

The library keeps changing after setup.

After a busy publishing week

Check how many new files arrived and how much still sits in Unsorted.

See whether that week left new sorting work behind.

Before a client handoff

Check unsorted media, folder depth, and disk use before cleanup or handoff.

Review the library before opening the full file grid.
