Check the demo here [http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/tree-view/](http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/tree-view/) * It creates a tree view based on download category. You need [WPDM Extended Shortcodes](http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/) add-on to use tree view. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8726194) * Thanks! And this is how it will look on the front end? And we’ll be able to tell which WordPress users are downloading what? * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8744565) * Hi — just wanted to follow up on this. * The demo you linked to ([http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/tree-view/](http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/tree-view/)) is how it will look on the front end? And we’ll be able to tell which WordPress users are downloading what file? * Thanks! * Plugin Contributor [Shahriar Alam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shahriar0822/) * (@shahriar0822) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8744967) * Yes, that’s how it will look. And all downloads are logged in Download Manager. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8745001) * Can I tell I tell which user is downloading what item? For example, can I see that User XYZ downloaded File123? Thanks. * Plugin Author [Shahjada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codename065/) * (@codename065) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8770572) * For now, you can see from which IP user downloading an item. Soon, we shall add username / email instead of IP when logged in users download. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8891046) * Can I upload full folders at once? I have everything set up locally on my desktop but can only figure out how to add one file at a time. Is this possible? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Shahjada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codename065/) * (@codename065) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8894434) * You can upload all files in `/uploads/download-manager-files/` dir using FTP, then you can attach those using server file browser ( Admin Menu >> Downloads >> Add New ). But we have a pro version with CSV import option and have an advanced CSV import add-on. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8894458) * Would I need to attach each of those to an individual post manually or is there an automatic way for each uploaded file to get it’s own post? There’s a ton of files. * Plugin Author [Shahjada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codename065/) * (@codename065) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8894475) * Sorry, ( directory import & csv import ) options are only available with pro version. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8894509) * Ok, I will probably buy then. If I do, then I can automatically have each file( PDFs inside of folders) uploaded to the tree with and it will let site users download? * Plugin Author [Shahjada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codename065/) * (@codename065) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8904050) * Dir import only will work in signal level, sub dirs will not be imported, But the alternative is using CSV import. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8917710) * How exactly do I do that with files? And it will work with sub directories? * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Shahjada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codename065/) * (@codename065) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8925836) * Yes, you simply need to put the full file path in CSV. * Thread Starter [ryanschaefer41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanschaefer41/) * (@ryanschaefer41) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-files-into-folders/#post-8996666) * Is there a walkthrough on how to do this?
