 * Is there any way to add all the files within all the subfolders?
 * I’ve got lots of images in `/uploads/2017/01` and `/uploads/2017/02` and `/uploads/
   2017/03` etc.
 * It looks like I have to enter each directory and do it that way – not easy with
   hundreds of them 🙂

 * Nope, this plugin isn’t designed to import your entire uploads directory, only
   a file or two.
 * Subdirectory support will never be offered.

 * If this plugin isn’t designed to do that, could you suggest something that is?
 * I’m rebuilding a hacked WP site and need to build the media directory as an exact
   replica of the original using just the files. Your plugin can do that, but it’s
   rather fiddly as I have to do each directory individually.

 * Hi [@pgideonbolger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgideonbolger/), I’ve
   written a guide for how to import thousands of images from subdirectories at 
   [https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/08/import-images-from-a-migrated-wordpress/](https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/08/import-images-from-a-migrated-wordpress/)
 * It isn’t a one-click solution, but it does work.

 * I found the “Media from FTP” plugin worked pretty well on large amounts of uploaded
   files in hundreds of sub directories.
