 * Hello everyone,
    adding a media library in site is great, but where these values
   are stored in database? Thanks

 * As I said media is saved in uploads folder not in database.
    only the url will
   be saved in database in when you use the media in pages or posts.

 * Thanks,
    I supposed that there is separate table to store the urls of media.

 * Once again,
    What happens when the media is uploaded through Media option itself
   and not through post or page. Then where the url, title, description of media
   is stored???
 * Thanks…

 * It seems Larry that all attempts to try and determine how and where the media
   links are stored in the database results in people telling you that the files
   are not stored there, which we know!!!
 * I moved my site to a new host, have the Uploads folder and images, and they all
   appear in the posts/pages, but not in the Media library. It would be nice to 
   rebuild it, and I have the original database, so I can extract the data – if 
   only I know where it is.
