The Media Explorer’s side navigation bar includes advanced search, quick recovery shortcuts, customizable display modes, and background processing – all built to make managing a large media library faster.
Advanced Search Mode
Enter keywords to filter media items and jump straight to the files you’re looking for, whether you’re recovering a lost image or just organizing your library. Learn more about effective WordPress media management in this guide.
Quick Recovery Options
Recover lost or corrupted media faster with Quick Mode:
- Infinite Scroll – browse all media items on one page, no pagination needed.
- Hide Existing Media – show only files that need recovery.
- Select All – recover every item on the current page in one click.
Flexible Display and Density Modes
Choose List View for detail or Gallery View for a visual layout, and adjust Density (Default, Comfortable, or Compact) to fit how much you want to see at once.
Customizable Pagination and Sorting
Set Items Per Page to control density, and sort by Name, Type, Size, or Date Created to find files quickly regardless of library size.
Background Processing
Background Mode recovers media from selected folders via WP-Cron while you work on other things. Enable auto background processing for continuous recovery with no manual intervention – especially useful for large-scale recovery jobs. Learn more about WP-Cron.
