Hi, I’m trying to activate my FileBird Pro license, but it says the license is already activated on another domain and the activation fails.
The website was recently redesigned and a new WordPress installation was published. The previous WordPress site has already been removed.
How can I activate the license again? Thank you!
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
Normally, you will need to deactivate the license key on the current domain and then re-activate it on the new domain to migrate the key.
Since your old site has been removed then please reach out to technical support team via ninjateam.org/support to help you reset it.
Best regards,
Mia
Greetings, Is it possible to select a folder on the front-end view and download all? My client says it’s a bit tedious to select 20 different files and download them one at a time. Thank you
Hi there,
Thanks for coming.
Yes, if you buy PRO version, you can have that.
If any issue, please get back to us.

Does this plugin support to showcase folders in the frontend , the folders might also have sub-folders and inside of them files ? and the navigation to be smooth , does this support that ? and also searching on the frontend
Hello,
Thanks for coming.
For that case, you need 2 plugins:

reset my license please, I need to use it on my new wordpress.
Hi,
Please contact us via ninjateam.org/support and then give us your license key so we can reset it for you.
Thank you!
Hi, do you plan to make your plugin compatible with : https://codecanyon.net/item/leopard-wordpress-offload-media/23728788 . Your plugin redirects to homepage and refuses to delete offloaded media in conjunction to this. However, this is an amazing plugin and would help your users a lot if you integrate. View is all ok. Just trying to delete media (and probably other actions) will not work. Thanks for letting us know for the future.
Hello,
Thanks for coming today.
Kindly drop the integration suggestion here for our technical: https://feedbo.io/board/filebird/Regards,
Bruce
sure. Update though: The real culprit was rank math seo plugin which was injecting js compromising media modal delete. I will anyway put the name in your board since for now, your plugin seems to work but an official confirmation will increase your sales 
Glad to know you figured it out now.
We will also take note of this.
We have an issue where you create a folder, drag drop multiple images (ie. 10) onto that folder. Then theres no indication they’re uploading. but they end up inside ‘all files’ instead of the folder I selected.
However, if you click the “Add Media File”, then “Select Files” and use the OS finder to select the 10 files, and upload them, then it works fine.
Hello,
Please record a short screencast showing how you drag that is not working, then send us.
You can use loom.com for that

Hello Is it possible in the new update, username folder to appear at the frontend, example: 1) Problem I sign in as a member or subscriber but I cant locate my Username folder at the frontend.
2) When I login from the frontend user, can I only see my Image file folder, I don’t want the see others or all image libraries folder. Is this possible? I just want to see my folder.
3) I can create my image folder from the frontend according to my username when I login as the member or subscriber. Is this possible?
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
What is the “username folder” please?
When I joined a members website. I need to register my username right. So my username must be the same as me image folder name.
Hi there,
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, we do not have this such feature so far. Please leave your suggestion here https://feedbo.io/board/filebird/, we will investigate and implement it in the future if possible.
2. You can use FileBird Library Document plugin to assign your folder to page/ post. So you only can see the image of your folder. You can refer our guide here for more details https://ninjateam.gitbook.io/filebird/addons/filebird-document-library
3. Sadly, we do not have this feature.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Many thanks!

Is there a built-in feature or simple addition that allows you to set an expiration date for items uploaded to the Media Library and have the documents deleted after the expiration date?
Hi there,

Do this plugin support multisite network?That is, with one WordPress and this plugin installation, the sites owner can run multiple websites with different domain names And the content of each domain website can be completely different.
Hi there,
Yes, FileBird does support WordPress Multisite. You can use it across multiple websites within the same network.
Each site can manage its own media folders separately, and the content of each domain/site can be completely different. Just activate FileBird on the network or on individual sites depending on your setup.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you,

Great post about organizing files with WordPress Media Library Folders! It’s such a useful feature for keeping images and media neat and easy to find. I’ve recently used it while uploading product photos for my furniture website, and it made managing categories like bed designs so much simpler. A well-structured media library really saves time and improves workflow, especially for online stores and bloggers who handle a lot of visual content. Thanks for sharing this helpful tip!
Hi there,
Thank you so much for choosing our plugin.
If it’s possible, can you leave the plugin a nice review please? https://codecanyon.net/downloads
Your review will motivate us to develop more plugins in the future and have awesome customers like you 
Kind regards,

Greetings! With the Pro version, is it possible to display sub-folders in the front-end document library viewer? So that front-end users can browse not only through files in a folder, but also the sub-folders?

Yes, thats right.

Hi, I can’t find documentation on your website about exporting/importing, so i don’t know how to troubleshoot this: Most of my images ended up uncategorized in my staging site.
Hello,
Thanks for coming.
Do you want to deal with both files and folders? If so, then this is the document for your reference:

Thanks Bruce!
I have been able to download folders, but unfortunately, dragging the folders into the browser window to upload them isn’t working for me. Instead, a new tab would open to view the folder from my disk, as usual. I tried this in Chrome and Edge so far.
I saw something about “Grid mode” in the tutorial, but I’m not seeing a way to activate this mode.
Hello,
It should also work in List view mode, but the cross sign is the sensitive area from where to drag from:

Why is latest version inserting inline css in frontend (#filebird-block-filebird-gallery-style-inline-css) – how can i disable that?
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
Please add the following PHP code to disable it.
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, function(){ wp_dequeue_style( ‘filebird-block-filebird-gallery-style’ ); }, PHP_INT_MAX );
Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Many thanks!

Hi. I have seen this error today, as i was on holiday.
When i try to upload an image, it doesnt upload and in the console it throws: QuotaExceededError: Failed to execute ‘setItem’ on ‘Storage’: Setting the value of ‘filebird’ exceeded the quota.
This has happened suddenly and dont understand why. I have deactivated all plugins and switched theme, but it is when i activate filebird pro when the error occurs, with all other plugins deactivated. Have increased the memory_limit and max_file_upload_size but nothing. Also tried with the latest version, and rolling back to previous version. And this didnt happened some weeks ago, can’t say as i have been on holiday.
What is the solution? Thx
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
We truly apologize for the issue that you’ve faced. Since it’s working seamlessly on our test site therefore we are not able to debug.
Could you please reach out to the technical support team via ninjateam.org/support?
You can use a live chat feature for prompt support.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Best regards,
Mia
I asked an AI and it replied:
The error “QuotaExceededError: Failed to execute ‘setItem’ on ‘Storage’” indicates that the browser’s local storage (localStorage) is full, and the FileBird Pro plugin cannot save any more temporary data to manage the media library.
To fix it:
Clear the browser cache and local storage (you can do this from your browser options under “Settings” → ‘Privacy’ → “Clear browsing data”). Close and reopen the browser. If you use extensions that store a lot of data, try temporarily disabling them.
And indeed, it has been fixed, so it seems that it was not a problem with the plugin… It was a surprise, because the plugin has always worked perfectly…
Thank you
Hi there,

Thank you. So this feature doesn’t work for non local staging sites?
Hi,
You can check your test site if it is considered as a local site by this tool https://ninjateam.org/how-to-check-if-a-site-is-local/
If not, then you need to change your domain to meet our requirement.
We are so sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,
Can I hide file url section in media library with this plugin?
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for coming.
Can you please send a screenshot and indicate what you want to hide exactly?
Regards.
Bruce
I mean this part : https://prnt.sc/uV9L7zCxW3a1
I don’t want my woocommerce customer to see it. Can I hide it with your media library theme?
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for the screenshot.
Unfortunately, that feature does not come from FileBird, it is a basic WordPress’s feature.

Bruce
So, your media library theme can’t replace the style or hide it completely?
Hello,
Sorry, but it can’t
