Please stay tuned. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367768) * This is actually more difficult to achieve than it would seem. I’ll see what I can do, but since it may require an extensive overhaul of the plugin, I can’t make any promises. I’ll let you know if I find a solution. * Thread Starter [Alan Paschoal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanpaschoalgmailcom/) * (@alanpaschoalgmailcom) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367776) * uau! Thanks Thom, * I would be glad to help/assist you if I’m able to. Please let me know if I can. * [Nomulus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nomulus/) * (@nomulus) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367934) * I’m actually looking for something very similar. FileAway is one of the best file display plugins I have found, although like Alan I would like to see content inside other sub-directories. Preferably, I wish that if I had a folder that had 4 files and 2 subdirectories – it would list 6 entries – clicking on a sub- directory would regenerate a new list with all the files in that new sub-directory with a ‘back-to-parent’ option up the top. * I’ve been searching and searching and cannot find another plugin that does this easily. * [jzdesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jzdesigns/) * (@jzdesigns) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367982) * I am also interested in this… is there any chance this is happening? * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367983) * Unfortunately, with sincere apologies, I don’t think I’m going to be able to do this. If there’s someone out there who wants to try toodify my code to make this work, I would welcome that, and make you a co-author. But it’s beyond my meager capabilities at the moment. I’ve spent about twenty hours trying different strategies, all ending in abject failure. * [jwilson1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwilson1/) * (@jwilson1) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367984) * Amazing file, but I agree, this needs the subdirectory addition. It has everything I want except for that. * Also, is there a way to choose the path of the files? It seems it automatically takes my base where wordpress is, but my files are on another webserver. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367996) * Rupak, I see your page but there’s no download link anywhere that I can find. How/where can I get a look at your modified version of the plugin? * [carsononline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carsononline/) * (@carsononline) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4367997) * I am REALLY interested as well. * [mrija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrija/) * (@mrija) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4368000) * I am REALLY interested as well ! * [Chris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nutlog13/) * (@nutlog13) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4368001) * Yes, subdirectories would make this the PERFECT directory lister! I’d be happy to shoot a donation your way if this were to get implemented… or possibly even just for trying! * We have over 3,000 files (many years’ worth of PDF’s) spread throughout almost 400 folders/subfolders (like I said, MANY years’ worth split into yearly subfolders). So while File Away is excellent, for our situation we’d still need to create almost 400 pages – one for each folder/subfolder – and then list the contents of each one. * Rupak’s solution looks like a start, in that you can list PAGES as “folders” inside File Away. But from his description on his page, it sounds like you still need to create a page per folder and fake its appearance as a folder; those child pages still need to be made. If there’s ANY way around this, we’d gladly pay for it! * (EDIT: I just saw your post from a few weeks ago… thanks for trying!) * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/#post-4368002) * Nutlog, I will take another crack at it in a few months, but at the moment I’m swamped in contract work. It’s definitely something I know would be helpful for everyone (including my own work), but so far I haven’t been able to get my head around it. I’ll try again when my plate isn’t full. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/page/2/#post-4368006) * I just wanted to let everyone know that I have successfully incorporated recursive file discovery/display into the plugin. WAIT! I still have to add that option to the modal, and update the readme. 😉 * Look out for version 1.5 a little later today. Right now I’m going for a smoke break. * [sgervais71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sgervais71/) * (@sgervais71) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/page/2/#post-4368007) * Wow! A thousand times thank You! There will be a donation coming your way very soon 😉 * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdirectories-4/page/2/#post-4368008) * Version 1.5 is now up. Happy recursivizing.
