New: create a folder right from the media popup while adding images to a post, page, Elementor, or Divi — no need to pre-create it in the Media Library first. New uploads go straight into the folder you just made.
New: ZIP imports now run in batches, so large archives (hundreds or thousands of files) import reliably without timing out, with a live “Importing X of Y…” progress readout.
New: added safety guards to ZIP import — a per-file-count limit and an uncompressed-size (zip-bomb) limit — and abandoned extractions are now cleaned up automatically.
Fix: dropping a .zip onto the “Import ZIP to folder” window no longer uploads it to the Media Library by mistake — the drop is now captured by the import window and sent to the chosen folder.
Fix: the “Done” button in the ZIP import window now closes the window as expected.
1.1.2
Fix: the Media Library layout no longer pulls WordPress’s own “Help” and “Screen Options” tabs (and the update/admin notices) into the folder sidebar row. They now stay in their normal position instead of forming an empty column and pushing the media grid off-screen.
Fix: newly uploaded files now appear in the grid instantly — with WordPress’s native upload progress bar — without needing to reload the page.
Fix: the folder drag handle and the expand/collapse arrow no longer overlap in the sidebar.
Fix: the “Media → PixelVault” admin menu item now shows with correct capitalisation.
New: developer filter rayetun_medianest_load_admin_assets lets companion plugins load the PixelVault folder sidebar inside their own media modals.
1.1.1
Fix: folder drag-to-reorder now starts from anywhere on the folder row — previously it required a pixel-perfect press on the tiny drag handle, so reordering often did nothing.
Fix: drag-to-reorder now works for Editors (users with the “Edit Any Folder” capability), not only Administrators. Previously it silently failed to save for non-admins.
Tweak: the drag handle is hidden for users who don’t have permission to reorder, so there’s no confusing non-working handle.
1.1.0
New: ⭐ Starred Folders — mark favourite folders and pin them to the top of the media library sidebar (per user).
New: 🗂️ Folder Templates — save your current folder structure as a reusable template and apply it in one click (Settings → Tools).
New: Folder Structure Backup — export your folder structure to a JSON file and re-import it on any site.
New: Developer hooks — added a full set of PHP actions/filters and JavaScript hooks so add-ons can extend PixelVault. See HOOKS.md.
Tweak: Assets now use file-modification-time cache-busting, so updates always load without a hard refresh.
Fix: Quick Action cards on the dashboard no longer overlap on some screen widths.
