*Plugins To Manage Images and Media

**Media Library Assistant: Adds Parent Field to an image, adds some (obscure) fields to what can be associated with a Media File, Parent Info, Menu Order, Attachment Metabase (read only), and an alternate list view, Allows for additional Categories to be created

**'''Enhanced Media Library''': Some Utilities for importing and exporting, Adds several tabs to Settings, Media (including allowed file types)

**'''Add from Server''': A plugin that allows upload of files that otherwise cause the Wordpress Media functionality to cough up a hairball (large files, etc.)

**'''Permalink Manager''': Enhances the native Permalink Field on Pages, Posts, Media, Images, etc. It also includes a Bulk Updater. Make sure to enable "Native Slug" in Tools, Permalink Manager, Settings, to allow editing of the native Permalink.

**Permalink Manager ~~- Manages all Permalinks~~, ~~including~~ Media ~~and~~ Images, ~~with~~ a Bulk Updater (Make sure to enable "Native Slug" in Tools, Permalink Manager, Settings)

**'''Phoenix Media Rename''': A simple Plugin that adds a File Name Field to an Image (in administration) that allows changing the File Name. It even automatically replaces spaces with dashes ( - ). It also allows for "bulk renaming", but only for manual modifications to the name (IE, it can't add "My Web Site" to the beginning of every file name).

**Auto Image Attributes - Changes Attributes (ALT, ~~etc.), based on File Name~~. ~~Useful if there aren't any ALT entries for an image~~

**Media File Renamer: Similar to Phoenix, but Phoenix is better.

**'''WP Media Folder''': Creates a folder and file structure for media, so very handy for organizing a lot of media. Unfortunately it breaks some features of other Media Plugins, but the fix is easy: Temporarily disable when other Plugin features are needed. Some other alternatives are listed here: https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-media-library-management-plugins/

**Media File Renamer: Phoenix is better

**Plugins that manipulate the built in WordPress behavior related to Media and Images (IE, Attachment Pages, which are created for each image that is uploaded)

**WP Media Folder ~~(very useful, but...)~~: Creates a folder and file structure for media, so very handy for a lot of media. Unfortunately it breaks some other Media Plugins, but the fix is easy~~, just~~ disable ~~it for others to work~~.

~~***~~Some ~~Alternatives to explore~~: https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-media-library-management-plugins/

**~~Plugin~~ that ~~will create a default ALT description if there isn't one???~~

**Plugin that ~~will redirect Permalink for Image to a Lightbox based on Category~~

***For most websites, a combination of the below two plugins properly configured will allow Image Permalinks to redirect to another page

Line 101:

****A really complex idea would be to use the Attachments Pages Redirect, Media Library Assistant (to define Parent), and some PHP code to create a URL "on the fly"

**Plugin that can change ALT information based on existing information (many plugins have this capability, but require buying the PRO version)???

***'''Auto Image Attributes''': Changes Attributes (ALT, etc.), based on File Name. Useful if there aren't any ALT entries for an image

**Plugin that creates a Title for an Image (Media Assistant???)???

**Plugin for custom Image CSS

Line 109:

***<s>Custom CSS Pro is great for previewing what it will do to a website, but appears to apply site wide to everything.</s>

**Plugin for Image Contents or Index Page???

**Plugin that will create a default ALT description if there isn't one???

***This one does everything on a site, not just images: https://barn2.co.uk/wordpress-index-plugin/

***Table of Contents, this one does everything on a site, not just images: https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-table-of-contents/

**Plugin for dedicated Image SEO (IE, not Yoast)
