FAQ
-
Are the folders real?

No. Folderei creates virtual folders. Media files are never moved from their original location.
-
Does Folderei affect SEO?
-
No. Organizing media into folders does not change file URLs, metadata, or existing links.
-
What happens if I delete a folder?
-
Only the virtual folder is deleted. Media files remain in WordPress and become unfiled.
-
What happens if I uninstall and reinstall Folderei?
-
Folderei does not delete folder data during uninstall. After reinstalling the plugin, folders and media assignments remain available.
-
Can I create subfolders and rename folders?
-
Yes. Folderei supports subfolders and folder renaming.
