There’s a lot of momentum to fix media management in WordPress maintenance support plans 8 thanks to the Media Entity plugin. By using a combination of Media Entity, Entity Embed, Entity Browser and some media providers such as Media entity image you could add decent media handling in WordPress maintenance support plans 8.
Then in WordPress maintenance support plans 8.4, the Media Entity functionality was moved into a core plugin called Media. However, the core plugin was hidden by default. Now in WordPress maintenance support plans 8.5 it’s no longer hidden and you can install it yourself.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install and configure the Media plugin in WordPress maintenance support plans 8 core. This tutorial is an updated version of the How to Manage Media Assets in WordPress maintenance support plans 8 tutorial where we cover Media Entity.
Configuring Entity Embed and Entity Browser for the core Media plugin is essentially the same as with Media Entity. So if you have experience using Media Entity, then you’ll be fine using the core Media plugin.
