Overview
As a WordPress media library grows, finding a particular image, video, or file can take time. Sigma Media Manager adds filtering by file type, upload date, and custom tags, helping site owners locate items within their library. Category tags provide another way to group media for different projects and make it easier to retrieve later.
The plugin also supports bulk edits, deletions, and categorization, so you can manage several media items in one action. For library cleanup, it can help identify unused or duplicate files for removal. Its interface is designed for media management across desktop, tablet, and mobile, making it useful for site owners and developers who regularly work with WordPress media.
Features
- Filter media items: Narrow the media library by file type, upload date, or custom tags to find images, videos, and files.
- Add category tags: Assign custom category tags to media items, creating groups that help organize assets for different projects.
- Manage items in bulk: Edit, delete, or categorize multiple media files at once instead of handling each item individually.
- Find unused files: Identify unused or duplicate media files in the library, then remove items you no longer need.
- Use a clear interface: Work with media through an interface designed to keep library navigation clear and organized.
- Manage media across devices: Access media library management from desktop, tablet, or mobile devices with a responsive design.
Best for
- WordPress site owners with growing media libraries
- Developers organizing client site media
- Content teams managing images, videos, and files
