Media Library Recovery Pro goes beyond its default settings so you can tailor media management to your own workflow – whether you’re a content creator, developer, or site administrator.
File Size Limit
By default, uploads are capped at 4MB. If you work with larger media files – high-resolution images or video – you can raise the limit up to 10MB. For more on managing upload size limits in WordPress, see this resource.
File Recovery Limit
The default recovery limit is 5 files per request. You can raise this to fit larger-scale recovery operations, reducing downtime after accidental deletions or file corruption.
Uploads Folder Path
The default WordPress uploads path, wp-content/uploads, doesn’t suit every setup. You can point the
plugin at a different location for organizational, security, or storage reasons. Learn more about managing uploads in
this WordPress guide.
Media Explorer Folders
Customize which folders appear in the Media Explorer – group files by project, department, or category to keep access to specific assets quick and organized.
Media Types Supported
Choose which file types the Media Explorer scans for – images, audio, video, documents, spreadsheets, or archives – so it only surfaces what’s relevant to you. For more on managing media types, see WordPress’s media documentation.
Multisite Compatibility
On a WordPress multisite network, the plugin can scan and manage media folder structures across multiple sites from one place, keeping your library consistent network-wide.
Enhanced Workflow Efficiency
Use Ctrl, Shift, or Cmd to select multiple media types or folders at once in the Media Explorer – a small shortcut that saves real time in larger libraries.
Tuning These Settings for Your Site
Together, these options let you adjust file size limits, recovery behavior, folder paths, supported media types, and multisite scanning to match how your site actually works. For more on WordPress media management, see the WordPress Support pages.
