Key Features
Seamless Editor Integration
Works with both the Gutenberg Block Editor and the Classic Editor. The dedicated Mediagraph block in Gutenberg auto-opens the asset picker when inserted, while Classic Editor users get an "Add from Mediagraph" button alongside the standard media controls.
Browse Your Entire Asset Library
Navigate your Mediagraph organization's complete asset structure:
- Collections - Curated asset groupings
- Storage Folders - File system-style organization
- Lightboxes - Temporary selections and bins
The hierarchical tree sidebar lets you drill into nested folders and collections to find exactly what you need.
Powerful Search & Filtering
- Full-text search across your asset library
- Sort by date created, title, or file name
- Toggle between current container and organization-wide search
- Pagination for browsing large asset sets
Rich Media Support
Insert images, videos, audio files, and documents with full metadata:
Images:
- Multiple size options (thumbnail, medium, large, full)
- Alignment controls (left, center, right)
- Link to media file or attachment page
- Alt text and title attributes for SEO
Videos:
- Responsive video player with controls
- Automatic poster image from Mediagraph previews
- MP4, MOV, AVI, and WebM support
Audio:
- Native HTML5 audio player
- MP3, WAV, and OGG support
IPTC Metadata Pre-Population
When you select an asset, metadata fields are automatically populated from Mediagraph:
- Title, headline, and description
- Byline and credit line
- Keywords (from tags)
- Usage rights and licensing information
- Alt text and extended descriptions
Edit these fields locally before insertion to customize how assets appear in WordPress without modifying the source in Mediagraph.
Secure OAuth 2.0 Authentication
Connect securely using industry-standard OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange):
- No client secrets stored in WordPress
- Automatic token refresh
- Connect and disconnect with one click
- Multi-organization support for users with access to multiple Mediagraph accounts
Metadata Write-Back on Publish
When you publish a post containing Mediagraph assets, the plugin automatically sends usage metadata back to Mediagraph, enabling you to track where your assets are published across your WordPress sites.
Permission-Aware
The plugin respects Mediagraph access controls. Restricted assets display a lock icon and cannot be downloaded, ensuring your team's permission structure is maintained.
