Description
Grafucci Folders helps you organize WordPress pages, posts, WooCommerce products, and the media library with virtual folders — without moving uploads or changing public URLs.
Create folders, nest them, drag items in, and filter the list. A calm sidebar that feels at home in WordPress admin.
Features
- Pages folders — organize pages from the Pages screen sidebar
- Posts folders — organize posts from the Posts screen sidebar
- Product folders — organize WooCommerce products the same way
- Media library folders — works in both grid and list views
- Media picker folders — same folders when setting a featured image or choosing media in the editor, Elementor, or ACF
- Drag and drop — move pages, posts, products, or media into folders in one gesture
- Nest folders — build a tree that matches how you work
- Filter fast — click a folder (or Unassigned) to focus the list
- Upload into a folder — new media lands in the selected folder
- Gutenberg panel — assign a folder while editing a page, post, or product
- Import existing media folders — bring folders in under Tools Grafucci Folders
- Backup — download and restore folder trees as JSON
- Safe by design — virtual only; permalinks and file URLs stay intact
Why virtual folders?
- Moving files on disk can break image links across your site
- Grafucci Folders only organizes in admin — visitors never notice
- Uninstall removes folder data and keeps your pages and media
Privacy
No tracking, no phone-home, no external APIs. No separate account required.

FAQ
-
Do folders change my page or media URLs?
-
No. Folders are virtual. Page permalinks and media file URLs stay the same.
-
Does it move files on the server?
-
No. Files stay in your uploads folder. Nothing is moved on disk.
-
Does it work with Gutenberg?
-
Yes. Assign a folder from the document sidebar while editing a page, post, or product. When inserting or selecting media in the block editor, the folder sidebar also appears in the media modal.
-
Does it work when setting a featured image or in Elementor?
-
Yes. The folder sidebar appears in the WordPress media modal — featured image, Gutenberg media pickers, Elementor image controls, ACF image/gallery/file fields, and similar flows.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce products?
-
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the Products list gets the same folder sidebar as Posts and Pages.
-
Can I import folders from FileBird?
-
Yes. Go to Tools Grafucci Folders. If FileBird media folders are found, import them, then deactivate FileBird so only one folder plugin is running.
-
Can I back up my folders?
-
Yes. Download a JSON backup from Tools Grafucci Folders and restore it on the same site or a staging copy that uses the same content IDs. Folder counts that look wrong can be fixed with Recount folders on that page.
-
Does it work in Media Library grid and list view?
-
Yes. Media folders work in both views.
-
Can I nest folders and drag items into them?
-
Yes. Nest folders for pages, posts, products, and media, then drag items onto a folder (or Unassigned).
-
What happens when I uninstall?
-
Pages, posts, products, and media stay intact. Folder terms and assignments are removed. Content and file URLs are not deleted.
-
Does this track usage or call external services?
-
No. No telemetry, analytics, or remote API calls.
-
Is it compatible with other media folder plugins?
-
Use one folder plugin at a time. You can import FileBird media folders into Grafucci Folders, then deactivate FileBird.
-
How do I get support?
-
