*Plugins To Manage Images and Media

**'''Enhanced Media Library''': Allows for associating Categories (the same one for Posts, but not other Plugins like Timeline Express, unless '''Add Category to Pages''' Plugin is added) with Media and Images, plus utilities for importing and exporting, also adds several tabs to Settings, Media (including allowed file types). This Plugin interferes with WP Media Folders List / Icon View and also elongates the List view by making each row thicker. '''Media Library Categories''' and '''WP Media Category Management''' are alternatives

This Plugin interferes with '''''WP Media Folders''''' List / Icon View and also elongates the List view by making each row thicker. '''''Media Library Categories''''' (uses the same Categories as Posts and does NOT interfere with '''''WP Media Folders''''') and '''WP Media Category Management''' (has a dedicated, separate Categories from Posts) are alternatives

**'''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.)

**'''''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''''': 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.

**'''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).

**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/

**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)

**???Keep in mind this might have a detrimental affect on SEO, since it redirects the base / large image to a smaller image on a page. It might be worth while to go to a Page with a Lightbox that has the FULL sized image and a link at the top that goes to the timeline and additional links if there are other image sizes, maybe a popup too that makes it painfully aware to the end user what is going on, and there is the WordPress SRCSR attribute thing for multiple image sizes too???

*****'''Attachment Pages Redirect:''' A simple Plugin that redirects Attachment Pages (like Media and Images) to a Parent Pages (created with Media Library Assistant) and under other circumstances, like 404 (page doesn't exist), etc.

****...and from there, and Image could be opened in a lightbox, etc.

***For Plugins like Timeline Express that have delayed rendering which affect Fragment Location / Anchor scrolling, additional steps have to be taken.
