## Description

**Easy Media Link** puts the Media Library right at your fingertips on the front
end. When a logged-in user with the capability to upload files visits the site (
not wp-admin), this plugin adds a handy “Media Library” link to the admin bar’s 
site menu.

**Key points:**
 – Only shows to users who can `upload_files`. – Only displays on
the front end (not inside wp-admin). – Uses `admin_url( 'upload.php' )` so it works
with multisite and subdirectory installs. – Zero configuration. No settings page.
Activate and go. – No tracking, no external calls, no ads.

**Privacy:** This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

 * Accessing the Media Library through the WordPress dashboard menu.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `easy-media-link` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install via **
    Plugins  Add New** by uploading the ZIP).
 2. Activate the plugin through **Plugins** in WordPress.
 3. While logged in, visit any front-end page. Open the admin bar and look under the
    site menu for **Media Library**.

## FAQ

### Who sees the link?

Only logged-in users with the `upload_files` capability (e.g., Administrators, Editors
with media permissions).

### Where does the link appear?

In the admin bar on the front end, under the site menu section. Clicking it goes
to your dashboard’s **Media  Library** (`/wp-admin/upload.php`).

### Are there any settings?

No. It’s intentionally simple.

### Is it multisite compatible?

Yes. The link is generated with `admin_url()`, which respects subdirectory and multisite
setups.
