Importing from other plugins ​

If you are migrating from another media organization plugin, Media Library Organizer can import your existing categories and folder structures automatically.

📝 Note: The source plugin must be installed and active on your site for its data to appear as an import option.

How to import ​

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Media Library Organizer > Import & Export.
  2. Select the plugin you are migrating from in the list of available sources.
  3. Click the Import button.

⚠️ Important: The import process creates new Media Library Organizer categories based on your existing data. It does not delete or modify your original plugin's data.

After the import ​

Once the import finishes, your media items will be assigned to the corresponding Media Library Organizer categories. You can verify the results by browsing your media library and checking that categories are correctly applied.

If any items were not categorized as expected, you can use the Bulk and Quick Edit tools to reassign categories manually.
