always wise to consider methods to complete tasks without plugins. This way, you minimize clutter and security vulnerabilities that may come with too many plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few (imperfect) ways to introduce some organization to your WordPress media library without plugins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the built-in organization system from WordPress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attach media uploads to categorized pages or posts (with the option to hide those pages\/posts)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s each method explained in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-accordion su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span><strong>Using built-in organization:<\/strong> <\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n\n\n\n<p>The first option works by utilizing what&rsquo;s already provided within the WordPress media library. The media library offers two filters and a search bar, meaning you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Actively name media items with specific keyword tags, then find them with the search bar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter by media type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter by date<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The date filter, for example, provides the most straightforward categorization method, since it automatically batches media uploads into months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time passes, you&rsquo;ll notice these files being automatically created if you access the \/<em>uploads<\/em> folder (inside <em>\/wp-content<\/em>) via an <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-ftp-wordpress\/\">FTP client like FileZilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=2097472219  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1324\" height=\"1100\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress uploads directory showing year and month folders in an FTP client\" class=\"wp-image-61210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1299\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 1324w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:249\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:851\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:638\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:42\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:289\/h:240\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 289w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:478\/h:397\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 478w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:722\/h:600\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 722w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:178\/h:148\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 178w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:235\/h:195\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 235w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:162\/h:135\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 162w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1299\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/categorized-by-date.jpg 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This method works rather well for users where time-oriented folders make the most sense.

su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to organize your WordPress media library without plugins involves a bit of a workaround. You can attach all media uploads to a single page or post and still use them elsewhere on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature isn&rsquo;t necessarily made for media categorization, but it works rather well considering you can use inactive pages and posts as media &ldquo;folders,&rdquo; then filter by those pages and posts inside the WordPress Media Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create the pages (or posts) that will serve as media folders. Do this by going to <strong>Pages &gt; Add New<\/strong>. Create a page title that works as a title for your media folder. Click <strong>Publish<\/strong> or <strong>Save Draft<\/strong>. Select <strong>Public<\/strong> or <strong>Private<\/strong>; all of these options allow for attaching images. It doesn&rsquo;t need to be a public page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=1550780747
