## Kuvaus

MedienUpload Lite extends the WordPress Media Library with practical folder management:

 * **Real server folders** – Each folder is created under `wp-content/uploads/medienupload-
   lite/`
 * **Custom names** – Folders can be named freely and nested
 * **Automatic date structure** – Uploads are stored in `Year/Month` subfolders (
   e.g. `2026/07/`)
 * **Media Library integration** – Folder sidebar in the media picker and on the
   upload page
 * **Active upload folder** – Choose where new uploads are saved
 * **Fully usable free** – No quotas, no locked features, no license key required
 * **Translations** – Contribute via [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/medienupload-lite/)

#### Looking for Pro features?

Need drag & drop moves between folders, physical file relocation, and flexible date
folder options? **MedienUpload Pro** is available separately at [plugins.froendhoff.com](https://plugins.froendhoff.com/MU/).

Lite works completely on its own. Pro is an optional add-on and is not required.

#### License

This plugin is licensed under the **GNU General Public License v2 or later (GPLv2
+)**.

## Asennus

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via Plugins  Add 
    New
 2. Activate **MedienUpload Lite**
 3. Open Media – the folder sidebar appears on the left
 4. Optional status tools: Settings  MedienUpload Lite

## UKK

### Where are files physically stored?

Under `wp-content/uploads/medienupload-lite/{folder-name}/{Year}/{Month}/filename.
jpg`

### Do I need a license key?

No. Lite is fully functional without any license or purchase.

### Can I move existing media into folders?

New uploads are assigned to the active folder automatically. Moving existing files
with drag & drop and physical relocation is available in MedienUpload Pro.

### What happens when a folder is renamed?

The physical directory is renamed and stored file paths of affected media are updated.

### What permissions are required?

Users need the WordPress `upload_files` capability.

### How can I support development?

On the settings page you will find a PayPal donate button. You can also upgrade 
to MedienUpload Pro.
