Media Library Display Settings

Overview

These settings are used to control the output of items in the Media Library.

In the WordPress Administration interface, go to Media Library and click on settings icon.

Settings

Clicking the settings icon allows you to define the following settings:

Default Startup Folder

You can set a specific folder to open automatically whenever you access the Media Library. This helps you jump straight to your most-used folder instead of browsing through the entire directory every time. Ideal for large sites or teams that organize media by project, client, or content type.

Infinite Scroll on Grid View

This setting is only displayed in WordPress 5.8 and higher.

This setting controls whether infinite scrolling is enabled or disabled when scrolling through attachments in Media Library’s Grid View.

By default, WordPress 5.8 removes infinite scroll in the Media Library’s Grid View for performance and accessibility. If you prefer to re-enable infinite scrolling behaviour, select the Enabled option.

Grid: Size

This setting controls the size of each item’s thumbnail when viewing the Media Library’s Grid View:

Medium (this is the WordPress Default)
Large
Extra Large

List: Columns

This setting controls the columns to display in the table when viewing the Media Library’s List View:

Media Library Organizer: Output: Settings: List View Columns

The following options are available:

Tree View: Categorize / Move Icon
Author
Media Categories
Uploaded to
Comments
Date

Other column options may be available, depending on the configuration of Media Library Organizer Pro and third party Plugins.

Show File counts

Display the number of files inside each folder directly in the Media Library tree view. This gives you a quick overview of your folder contents without opening them individually.

Show Empty Folders

Enable or disable the display of empty folders in your Media Library. Useful if you want to keep your workspace uncluttered or need to view placeholder folders for future uploads.

Frontend: Size

This option is available in the Media Library Organizer's Core Settings page:

This setting controls the image size output when viewing a single Attachment on the frontend site. Defining this setting is useful if using the Taxonomy Manager’s Enable on Frontend functionality.

The following options are available:

thumbnail
medium (default)
medium_large
large

Other sizes may be listed, depending on your WordPress Theme and other Plugins, which may register additional image sizes.

For example, viewing a single Attachment using WordPress’ default setting (medium):

Media Library Organizer: Output: Frontend Size: Medium

Changing this setting to medium_large:

Media Library Organizer: Output: Frontend Size: Medium Large

Save

Once you have made changes to the settings, click the Save button.

On screen confirmation will display to confirm that the settings have been updated.
