Lifesaver for big sites

Media manager is a lifesaver for big sites. Sorting and folder-like organization makes content work much faster

Security Risk: Server Blacklisting

Following a WordPress core update to 6.9, WordFence flagged this plugin for a known security vulnerability. Within just a few hours, and before I could disable or update it, my VPS IP was blacklisted

Excellent plugin, works great.

Happily recommend this plugin, it works fine on latest WP (currently 5.6) and with latest Divi (4.8.2). You can add it more than once to say near the top and bottom footer of the page too.

Does exactly what it says

Couldn’t be easier. It does what is suppose to do and now you can categorize your pages with tags. Best of its kind.
