About Axismundi Media Library
From the official readme · v0.0.42Description
Axismundi Media Library promotes the WordPress attachment into an independent,
publishable media object with its own owner and visibility, organised into virtual
folders, with structured rights (license, attribution, copyright, source) and a
sensitive-content workflow. Saved references (collections) and federation are
planned for later phases.
Activating the plugin changes no existing media. Core mode leaves WordPress
attachments untouched. Independent mode detaches new uploads (post_parent 0)
and enforces per-item visibility — public, unlisted, or private — across the
attachment page, the REST API (single and collection), and the media picker.
Ownership is the WordPress author (post_author); permission reuses core
capabilities.
The full specification lives in the plugin’s docs/ directory (SPEC, SECURITY,
ROUTING, COMPATIBILITY, DATA-MODEL, PHASES). Independent mode provides media
archives at /media/ and /media/author/{nicename}/. Attachment single pages continue to use
the active theme’s normal attachment template hierarchy; Axismundi includes a
dedicated attachment.html template.

Installation
- Upload and activate Axismundi Media Library.
- Open Settings > Media Library (Axismundi). Activation changes no existing media.
- Choose Independent mode to enable independent-attachment visibility.
- Optional: deactivate FileBird, then use Media > Import Folders to analyze and
import a FileBird CSV export without overwriting existing Axismundi assignments.
Changelog
0.0.42
- Restrict federation rendition diagnostics to users who can edit the requested attachment.
- Require attachment visibility before Media Preview and Media Rights render, including editor-preview fallbacks.
0.0.41
- Add nested media-folder management to the Media Library: direct counts,
drag-and-drop attachment moves, inline rename/create, folder reparenting,
keyboard-accessible folder actions, and selected-folder uploads. - Require explicit confirmation before moving a folder would weaken inherited
private or password protection, and report partial attachment moves honestly.
0.0.39
- Let an embedded-media policy select one bounded provider derivative up to 1024 pixels,
even when the provider does not persist that larger virtual size in attachment metadata.
The candidate still passes HTTPS host, transform, dimension, pixel, and source-byte gates;
the original file remains excluded.
0.0.38
- Keep trusted virtual rendition discovery available during Gutenberg REST saves. Jetpack
suppresses Photon image downsize when the editor request header is present; Axismundi now
lifts that suppression only for its synchronous federation lookup and immediately restores
the editor policy.
0.0.37
- Resolve virtual rendition URLs through WordPress image downsize when raw attachment
metadata contains the virtual marker but omits the provider URL. The computed URL still
passes trusted-host, transform, dimension, pixel, and byte policy.
0.0.36
- Allow rendition diagnostics for media already eligible for anonymous federation while
keeping private and locked attachments hidden behind the upload capability. Diagnostic
output contains public rendition metadata and policy decisions, never filesystem paths.
