Avoid automatic creation of folders

I also see empty folders created by other plugins ( I use picu )

Hi @oceandigitals ,

Thanks for coming today!

Please note that the normal behaviour is that FileBird creates virtual folders, not real folders.

Hope that clarifies!

Kind regards,
Bruce

Hi Bruce, thanks for your quick answer.
Yes I know but I don’t want the creation of any folder, real or virtual.
I would like to see only folders I manually created with the plugin

Hi @oceandigitals ,

Sorry, but it seems I’m a little confused about your query now.

What is creating folders for you?
Can you deactivate FileBird temporarily, then check again if that thing still creates the folder?
How do you ascertain that the issue is from FileBird?

Kind regards,
Bruce

If I drag and drop a folder with pictures from my PC to the media gallery, this folder is also replicated in the plugin.
But I don’t expect the plugin to create folders, because it mess up my order.

I can try deactivating and activating the plugin, if this could help

Hi @oceandigitals ,

Oh! I get it now… Well, that is a normal feature that was requested by many users, long time ago, which we later implemented.

But now you said it is not useful for you and so what I would suggest is that you should drag and drop files only from your computer, not folders.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,
Bruce

Ok, I understand.
For any chance is there any hook I could use in my functions..php to prevent it?

Thanks

Hi @oceandigitals ,

I am not sure, I will get more info and feed you back as soon as possible.

But, then this might mean altering the plugin codes that might cause normal functioning issues.

Why not use the simple solution “drag and drop files only”, instead of whole folder?

Kind regards,
Bruce

Hi @oceandigitals,

Thanks for coming to us again.

We apologize for the inconvenience you have with FileBird.
Our plugin is updated so you can upload files to the media gallery without creating another folder automatically.

Please try to install this version by following the link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v887ync8g9vy02w/filebird-lite.zip?dl=1

Then you need to add a shortcode to the end of your theme’s file functions.php:
add_filter( 'fbv_auto_create_folders', '__return_false' );

Please let me know if it works for you.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Harry
