Double Youpï Refined Media Library – Folders, Collections & WebP

Beschrijving

De WordPress mediabibliotheek is in geen jaren echt veranderd. Na een paar honderd uploads ben je al meer tijd kwijt aan scrollen dan aan werken. Refined Media Library verandert het in een volwaardige assetmanager, zónder dat je per afbeelding allerlei instellingen in de gaten hoeft te houden.

Mappen die ook echt als mappen aanvoelen

  • 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.
  • Werkt bovenop de native mediabibliotheek, dus het gedraagt zich overal hetzelfde, of je nu bouwt met Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg of Divi.

Een echt detailpaneel

Click any file and a panel slides in from the right, no more full-screen modal. Edit the alt text and title, move it to a folder, drop it into collections, copy its URL, and see exactly which posts and pages use it (WooCommerce galleries included). The preview is resizable: it scales proportionally as you widen the panel, and you can drag the handle beneath it to set its height. Click the image to open it full screen in a lightbox and step through the whole library with the arrow keys.

Automatisch minder rommel

  • 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.

WebP en AVIF bij uploaden

Convert images to WebP and/or AVIF the moment they land, after a quick check that your server can actually do it. Quality is one slider, not a wizard. If another plugin already owns image conversion, Refined Media Library steps aside.

Overstappen van een andere plugin?

One-click import from FileBird, Real Media Library, HappyFiles, Folders (Premio) and Enhanced Media Library. It reads their data directly, even if the plugin is already deactivated, never touches it, and the import is reversible. Preview first, undo anytime.

Geen per afbeelding instellingen

That’s the whole point. A few toggles in one place, sensible defaults everywhere else.

Free, and built to stay that way

No locked features, no “upgrade to unlock folders”, no nag screens. It’s the standalone edition of the Double Youpï suite: the whole thing, free for good and actively maintained.

Installatie

  1. Installeer de plugin via het Plugins-scherm, of upload deze handmatig naar /wp-content/plugins/doubleyoupi-refined-media-library als je dat fijner vindt.
  2. Activate it.

FAQ

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.

Kan ik mijn mappen importeren uit FileBird, Real Media Library of HappyFiles?

Ja. Importeren met één klik wordt ondersteund voor FileBird, Real Media Library, HappyFiles, Folders (Premio) en Enhanced Media Library. Het leest de bron direct uit (zelfs als die plugin is gedeactiveerd), wijzigt deze nooit, en de volledige import kan ongedaan worden gemaakt.

Werkt het met mijn pagina bouwer?

Ja. Het verbetert de native mediabibliotheek in plaats van deze te vervangen, dus Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, Divi en alle andere tools zien precies hetzelfde.

Worden mijn afbeeldingen ergens naartoe gestuurd?

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.

Wat is het addertje onder het gras bij “gratis”?

Die is er niet. Dit is de standalone-versie, zonder addertjes onder het gras. Als het je een middag werk scheelt en je hebt er zin in, is er ergens een knop om een kop koffie te trakteren. Volledig optioneel.
