Document Library Pro – Premium WordPress Document Library Plugin
Bring order to your files and resources with Document Library Pro, a premium WordPress document library plugin from Barn2. Build searchable, filterable libraries in minutes using a fast table or visual grid layout, complete with folders, previews, and access control. Ideal for policies, manuals, media assets, knowledge bases, and any downloadable resources.
Why choose a dedicated WordPress document library?
A purpose-built document management solution provides structured data, instant search, and consistent presentation—far beyond what the standard Media Library offers. Document Library Pro adds a powerful “Documents” post type so you can store extra metadata, organize content, and present it beautifully on the front end.
Key Features of Document Library Pro
- Two front-end layouts: searchable table view or visual grid with tiles.
- Instant search, sort & filters: quick keyword search, sortable columns, and optional filter dropdowns.
- Dynamic folders: reflect your category structure with collapsible folders and unlimited nested sub-folders.
- Any file type: PDFs, Office documents, images, audio, video, and more—hosted in WordPress or externally.
- Previews & embeds: lightbox previews, inline content, and support for WordPress embeds (e.g., YouTube, SoundCloud).
- Access control options: create public libraries or add privacy via the companion bundle to restrict categories by password, user roles, or specific users.
- Performance built-in: lazy load and caching for large libraries; fully responsive with granular column controls.
- Translation-ready: works with popular multilingual/translation plugins for international sites.
Flexible Document Management
