Open Media > Library. ## 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. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Folderei” is open source software.
