Managing files and documents is critical for many WordPress sites. The Document Library Pro plugin streamlines this process through easy-to-use table and grid layouts for organizing content. We’ll overview how these complementary views allow flexible document arrangement and switching between layouts. Customization is also simple - we’ll show how to select visibility of certain elements within each view.
Further enhancing organization, Document Library Pro enables a folder directory structure for categorizing files and pages into an expandable hierarchy. Great for segmenting content by topic or project while retaining Connectivity across layouts. We’ll demonstrate applying folders for intuitive grouping that syncs across table and grid displays.

Hi Sam, is it possible to show document based on categories + Custom Field? For example I have Categories A, and I have added Custom Field lets say ABC Inc, so the tables only show SOP categories + ABC Inc.
Thank You

[@Barn2Plugins]

Yes, you can do this by adding the 'category' and 'cf' options to the Document Library Pro shortcode in order to list documents that match a specific category AND custom field. These are documented at barn2.com/kb/dlp-include-exclude/ and you can mix and match the options to show whichever documents you like.

Hi Sam, is it possible if I have 2 pages. The first one, which show all of my documents, uses the folder style. The second one which show documents that in finance category, uses the table style?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Yes! That can be done using the various shortcode options available with Document Library Pro (see: barn2.com/kb/document-library-options/). You can use [doc_library folders="true"] to enable folders and the [doc_library doc_category="finance"] to display documents under the finance category using the regular table layout. For further inquiries, you can reach our dedicated Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza
