I would like to know if there are better ways to organise media in WordPress.
My understanding is that when you upload images on WordPress they get stored into folders in the file system by date.
site.com/uploads/2022/01/image
site.com/uploads/2023/01/image
Then they are all just displayed as a single gallery in the WordPress media gallery.
I have used the file bird plugin before which organises your files in the media browser into folders but that is just written to a .CSV file. The actual folder structure in the back end stays the same with the date folders. So the file bird folder structure does not match the back end folder structure.
My first question is, if I upload images directly to the back end in a folder structure that I prefer, for example
site.com/uploads/branding/image
site.com/uploads/post-1/image
Will those images be recognised in the WordPress media browser?
Secondly, is there any way (plugin or otherwise) for the media browser to actually display the files in the true folder structure that matches how they are organised in the back end?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. As you might be able to tell, I’m pretty OCD so I would prefer to avoid work arounds if possible
