*'''''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 like '''Enhanced Media Library''' (and vice versa), 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/ '''File Bird Light''', among others is an alternative. It adds two fields to the Word Press Media Attachment Editor ("Image Gallery link to" and "Link Target"), both of these fields have no effect on builtin WP functionality, only with the plugin. The _wpmf_gallery_custom_image_link is the field it adds to the PostMeta Table. Depending on Icon or List view, the "details" page of a Media item will be different, with many more options available in the details of a list view. If viewed via Icon view, there is a link towards the bottom that will open the detailed page. There also seems to be an issue if deleting media where the plugin has to be turned off and the media deleted via the normal Wordpress functionality. | *'''''WP Media Folder''''': Creates a folder and file structure for media, so very handy for organizing a lot of media.

*'''Simple CSS''': This seems to be the only Plugin available that displays a CSS Field in an Image's "admin page" on the Media Tab. Sadly though, it does nothing at all (IE, enter in your CSS, click Update, and watch it disappear), at least on an Image page) | *'''Simple CSS''': This seems to be the only Plugin available that displays a CSS Field in an Image's "admin page" on the Media Tab.

*'''Upload Url and Path Enabler''' (Settings Tab, Media): Reinstates the "Store uploads in this folder" setting that was removed in WordPress 3.5 (according to documentation). Sadly after testing, some Plugins (like Magic Zoom) would not work properly, even after checking settings in the Database (it was like the /wp-content/uploads/ Directory was hard coded, checked it and it was).

*Sizes (Wordpress default generated images is 150x150 "thumnail", 300x300 "medium", and 1024x1024 "large", "medium_large" is halfway between medium and large by default, and of course "full" is the original size. Templates and Plugins can cause other sizes to be generated.

**Regenerating: Recommend only generating (custom / default) Thumbnail (128x128 / 150x150), Medium (256x256 / 300x300), Large (1024x1024 / 1024x1024), Medium_Large is an unknown source. | |||
***'''Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced''' (Tools Tab, Regenerate Thumbnails): Allows for only specific sizes to be rebuilt, did a great job | |||
***'''Regenerate Thumbnails''' (Tools Tab, Regenerate Thumbnails, yes the same as above, but a different utility): Thumbnail Cleaner uses / references this utility, does not allow for restrictions on which sizes to generate, just does them all, utilities to block different size generations don't seem to work | |||
