An Easy and Elegant Way to Manage Images
by rzharding·2 days ago
CatFolders enables finding images in the media library much easier. Trying to find images is otherwise tedious and difficult. Support is quick and helpful.

Super useful plugin(s) and excellent support
by rvwfreewheelers·5 months ago
I’ve been using CatFolders on my site now for about 3 months and it’s made my pages and media so much easier to manage! I’m also using their Document Library plugin and it’s allowed me to make a neat, easy to manage document library for my community group.
Even more importantly, when I was seeing some errors in my debug log, CatFolders responded quickly to my concern and were able to login and repair the problem right away. Thanks so much for the great service!

Bad UX with Poor Support
by kriggity·1 year ago·3 replies
Intrusive “Upgrade to Pro” ad that blocks part of my Media Library and contains distracting animations. I raised this issue and was directed to another contact that was barely responsive, not helpful, and a waste of my time to undertake.
Excellent Media Organizer for WordPress Media Library!
by Greg Farries·1 year ago
We’re an agency that hosts and maintains numerous client business websites. We use CatFolders to organize the WordPress media library for our own website as well as many of our clients’ sites. Both we and our clients appreciate the ease and functionality of the free version, and when additional features are needed, the Pro version is an excellent upgrade. On top of that, their support is outstanding—quick, responsive, and always helpful, making the overall experience even better.
