How Do I Add a Media Library to WordPress?

Adding a Media Library to WordPress is fairly simple. First, you will need to create a new file called wp-media-library.php and add the following code to it:

set_locale(‘en’); // add the media library to the WordPress site $media_library->add_media(); } function add_media() { // add the media file to the media library $file = get_file_or_URI(‘media/’ . $_FILES[‘file’][‘name’]); // check to make sure the file exists if (!file_exists($file)) { // create the file if it doesn’t already exist if (!copy_file($_FILES[‘file’][‘tmp_name’], $file)) { // create the media library object $media_library->add_media($file); } } } function remove_media() { // remove the media file from the media library $file = get_file_or_URI(‘media/’ . $_FILES[‘file’][‘name’]); // check to make sure the file exists if (!file_exists($file)) { // delete the file if it doesn’t already exist if (filesize($_FILES[‘file’][‘tmp_name’]) > 0) unlink($_FILES[‘file’][‘tmp_name’]); } } // get the media library information function get_media_info() { // get the media library object $media_library = $media_library->get_object(); // get the media files in the library $files = $media_library->get_media(); // get the media file information $info = array(); // loop through the files and get the file information for ( $file = 0; $file < count($files); $file++ ) { // get the filename, size, and mime type $filename = $files[$file][‘name’] . ‘.‘ . $files[$file][‘size’] .’ . $files[$file][‘mime_type’]; // get the information about the media file $info[$filename] = get_file_info($filename); } // return the information return $info; }.Once you have created this file, you will need to add a reference to it in your WordPress site’s wp-config.php file:// wp-config.php // // The following line is placed in a file called wp-config.php // // This file contains the configuration information for WordPress // // To add a reference to the media library file, add the following line // // //add_library( ‘WP_Media_Library’, ‘/path/to/wp-media-library.php’);.Next, you will need to add the wp_media_library_init() function to your theme’s functions.php file:// functions.php // // The following line is placed in a file called functions.php // // This file contains the administrative functions for your WordPress site // // To add a function to the media library, add the following line // // //add_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_media_library_init’ );Finally, you will need to add the wp_media_library_init() function to your site’s global primary hook (the hook that is run when your WordPress site is first activated):// global.php // // The following line is placed in a file called global.php // // This file contains the configuration information for WordPress // // To add a function to the media library, add the following line // // //add_action( ‘init’, ‘wp_media_library_init’ );Now you are ready to add media to your library! To add media to your library, use the add_media() function. This. [related-posts id="40258, 44346, 40226, 42866, 42358, 41626, 43298"]
