JT Media Folders

Managing Folders

• Edit : Click the pencil icon (✏️) next to any folder name
• Delete : Click the trash icon (🗑️) next to any folder name
• Smart Filter : Click on any folder name to filter the media library by that folder
• All Files : Click on “All Files” to show all media regardless of folder assignment

AI Agents & REST API

Scripts and AI agents (for example through an MCP connector) can organize folders without the Media Library screen. Users authenticate with application passwords and only get the access they already have: the upload_files capability, and editing rights on each attachment they file.

On WordPress 6.9 and newer, these Abilities are registered in the “Media Folders” category: list-folders , list-media , get-media-folders , ensure-folders , update-folder , delete-folder , assign-media , remove-media and set-media-folders (each prefixed jt-media-folders/ ).

REST routes under /wp-json/jt-media-folders/v1 :

• GET /folders , POST /folders , POST /folders/ensure
• GET , PATCH , DELETE /folders/{id}
• GET /media (filter by folder ID, unassigned or all , plus search , mime_type , page , per_page )
• GET /media/folders?ids=1,2,3
• POST /media/assign , POST /media/remove , POST /media/set

Bulk calls accept up to 500 items. To turn this off, go to Media > Folder Settings > AI & API Access , or use the jt_media_folders_enable_api filter.
