Spent some time looking into Media File manager plugins. Here's what I have to report:

Plugins that can organize media files AND MORE into folders This type of plugin would be very useful to us, considering each hiking page will have several photos and posts associated with it. Posts of a given hiking page can be put in their own folder, similarly to how photos/media of a hike would be put in their own folders.

Wordpress Folders Plugin (by Premio) Video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOl4KegsFXk Download Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/folders/

• Can add all kinds of media to folders (photos, videos, music, pages, posts)
• Organize photos and content by topics, categories, and/or dates
• Folders can be marked as important so they can quickly be found (pro)
• Media can be put into multiple folders

Pricing Information: https://premio.io/downloads/folders/ The Basic plan is the cheapest plan to include the feature of unlimited subfolders.

Different pricing options:

• Per 1 year: $39
• Per 2 years: $59
• Lifetime (pay once): $119

Demo page for plugin: https://folders-demo.premio.io/wp-admin Credentials: Username: Premio password: ilovepremio

In the free version, you can create an unlimited amount of folders. The paid version enables the ability to add subfolders within the folders.

HappyFiles Link: https://happyfiles.io/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfxF9gkR83c

This plugin can organize media into folders. The pro version can do the same for post, pages, etc Items can be added to multiple categories. Seamless integration with Elementor (don't see this mentioned in Premio plugin) Items can be moved with a drag/drop interface.

Pricing: Pro version is $59, one-time payment.

• Cheaper than the Premio plugin whilst offering many of the same features.
• Although, it doesn't have the feature to highlight folders as important (would we need that?)

Plugins that can organize ONLY media files into folders The other plugins I found only cover the media files, and a separate plugin would have to be downloaded for organizing blog posts into folders. This is a disadvantage to the previous two plugins, as if we were to use these, we would need a separate plugin to put blog posts or pages into folders.

Firebird Video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjeEbqmMVwU Download Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/filebird/

The free version allows the creation of unlimited folders and subfolders for media. The paid version adds folder colors, folder sorting, moving folders in bulk, and support for various editors.

I've installed the free version of HappyFiles. Interesting that it does not show up as a separate tab on the left-hand-side, but rather it's simply integrated into the Media folder. If i like it after playing around with it, i'll upgrade to the Pro version.

This can be done with a div within the tab text editor

Forum: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scroll-bars-on-tabbed-pages/ Codepen: https://codepen.io/gndev/pen/WNQJgzb

Here's the HTML code:

<div style="max-height: 300px; overflow-y: auto; background: #f2f2f2;">
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
  <p>... scrollable content goes here ...</p>
</div>

In the tab editor, select "text" as the editor, paste the code, then switch to "visual" to edit it visually
