Title: Library Viewer Author: Pexle Chris Published: ሐምሌ 8, 2019 Last modified: ግንቦት 29, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/library-viewer/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=2120573) ![](https://ps.w.org/library-viewer/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2120573) # Library Viewer By [Pexle Chris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pexlechris/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/library-viewer.3.3.0.zip) * [Details](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/library-viewer/#description) * [Reviews](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/library-viewer/#reviews) * [Installation](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/library-viewer/#installation) * [Development](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/library-viewer/#developers) [ድጋፍ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/library-viewer/) ## ማብራሪያ **New in Version 3.3.0: Admin Library Viewer!** You can now manage and browse your library directly from your WordPress dashboard. Go to **Media > Library Viewer** to get started. Library Viewer allows you to display files and folders from your server directly on your WordPress site. By default, the free version displays the contents of the **“library”** folder located in your site’s root directory (example: `yoursite.com/library`). To display any other directory, you can use the `path` parameter available in **[Library Viewer Pro](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/pro-wp)**. Whether you want to create a public document library, a members-only download area, or an internal file portal, Library Viewer provides a lightweight and flexible solution. Unlike traditional file manager plugins, Library Viewer focuses on controlled visibility and flexible file access. You can: * Allow users to browse files without allowing them to open or download them * Restrict file access based on login status or user roles * Open files using custom viewers or external services * Integrate file access with WooCommerce purchases * Manage your library directly from the WordPress dashboard ### Live Demo Explore a working example of Library Viewer: [View Demo](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/demo-wp) ### Ideal Use Cases * Document libraries * Members-only downloads * WooCommerce customer downloads * Internal company file portals * Educational resources * Front-end file management systems ### Key Features * **Access Control:** Allow users to browse files but restrict opening them to logged-in users or specific roles. * **Custom Viewer:** Open files in a custom viewer or redirect them via a web service of your choice. * **Breadcrumb Navigation:** Easy navigation through subfolders. * **Search & Filter:** Show or hide specific files and folders (Pro version). ### Quick Start 1. Create a folder named “library” in your server root (e.g. public_html/library) 2. Upload your files and folders inside it 3. Add the shortcode [library-viewer] to any page or post 4. Publish the page and view your library 5. (Optional) Use shortcode parameters to control access and behavior 6. To view your library in the backend, navigate to **Media > Library Viewer**. ### Library Viewer Admin Pages [ADMIN PAGE DOCUMENTATION](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/docs/admin_page/) The Library Viewer Admin Pages feature, introduced in version 3.3.0, brings library functionality directly into your WordPress dashboard. It is designed for site owners and administrators who need quick access to their libraries without visiting the front end. Unlike a single fixed admin screen, Library Viewer allows you to register** multiple Library Viewer Admin Pages**, each with its own configuration, permissions, and displayed library. For advanced usage and full configuration options, please refer to the Admin Page Documentation. **Key Features of the Admin Page:** * **Centralized Browsing:** View all files and folders in your “library” folder( or in other directories when using Library Viewer Pro) directly from the **Media > Library Viewer** menu. * **Customizable Access:** You can define exactly which user roles or capabilities( e.g., editors, custom roles) have permission to view this admin page. * **Flexible Display:** The admin page uses the same powerful engine as the shortcode. In the “Library to display” field, **you can set any [library-viewer] shortcode** with the parameters of your choice (as described in the Parameters Documentation) to customize the backend display. * **Easy Navigation:** Includes a dedicated “Settings” tab where you can change the page title and manage access permissions without touching any code. **How to Use:** 1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard. 2. Navigate to **Media > Library Viewer**. 3. Use the **Library** tab to browse your files. 4. Switch to the **Settings** tab to customize the title or restrict access to specific roles. ### Parameters Documentation   [FULL PARAMETERS DOCUMENTATION AND USE CASES](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/parameters-wp)   **PARAMETERS OF LIBRARY VIEWER** * **have_file_access** (have_file_access parameter controls which users can access and view files.) * **my_doc_viewer** (my_doc_viewer parameter defines which viewer is used to open files.) * **login_page** (login_page parameter sets the login page where users are redirected if authentication is required)   **PARAMETERS OF [LIBRARY VIEWER FOR WOOCOMMERCE](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/for-woocommerce/)** * **have_file_access=”customer_with_folder_access”** (The `customer_with_folder_access` value for the `have_file_access` parameter grants access to users who purchased a product with folder access.) * **sold_on** (sold_on parameter specifies the WooCommerce product required to unlock folder access.)   **PARAMETERS OF [LIBRARY VIEWER PRO](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/pro-wp)** * **path** (path parameter defines which server folder is displayed in the front- end library.

Starting from version 3.3.0, you can access your library directly from the WordPress back-end. Simply navigate to **Media > Library Viewer**. You can browse your files in the “Library” tab and customize the page title or access permissions in the “ Settings” tab. This is perfect for administrators who need quick access without leaving the dashboard! Read more in [ADMIN PAGE DOCUMENTATION](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/docs/admin_page/) ### How can I grant library access only to my WooCommerce customers? You can use the **[Library Viewer for WooCommerce Add-on](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/for-woocommerce/)**. It allows you to link specific folders to WooCommerce products, granting access automatically upon purchase. ### Can users upload or manage folders & files from the front-end? Yes, by adding the **[Library Viewer File Manager Add-on](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/fm-wp)**. This enables front-end uploading, renaming, and deletion of files and folders based on user roles. ### Can I display a folder that is outside of my WordPress root directory? Yes, with **[Library Viewer Pro](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/pro-wp)** you can display any folder on the same server, even if it is outside your WordPress installation directory (e.g., above the public_html folder), as long as the server’s PHP has access to it. This can be achieved using the `lv_filter_global_abspath` filter to change the default ABSPATH to the root path of the folder you want to display. For more detailed instructions and code examples on how to set this up, please feel free to ask in the **[support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/library-viewer/)**. As you can see, I usually respond within a few hours to help you out! ### Can I hide specific folders or files from the library? Yes. By default, the plugin hides: * Folders containing the string “hidden-folder” in their name. * Files containing the string “hidden-file” in their name. * All `. php` and `.ini` files. Rename your files or folders accordingly to hide them. For more advanced control (including specific inclusion/exclusion lists), you can use** [Library Viewer Pro](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/pro-wp)**. ### Can I forbid the direct access to the files in my library? Yes, with **[Library Viewer Pro](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/pro-wp)** you can protect your files so they are only accessible through the plugin’s viewer, preventing direct URL access. See this support topic: [wordpress.org/support/topic/executable-pdf-file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/executable-pdf-file/) ### How can I deny users from executing PHP files in my library folders? To enhance security, you should add the following code to a `.htaccess` file inside the folder you want to protect: ``` deny from all ``` ### Are there shortcode examples? You can test your own use cases in the [DEMO](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/demo-wp) ### Which Page Builders are compatible with Library Viewer? Library Viewer have been tested with TinyMCE (Classic Editor), Gutenberg, WPBakery, Visual Composer, Elementor and works fine! Generally can be used, everywhere that shortcodes are accepted… ### Library Viewer does not work properly and/or I get some ERRORS. Why? * Check your permalinks PLAIN PERMALINKS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. Please change your permalink from /wp-admin/options-permalink.php to something else. - Check the folders’ and files’ read permissions (safe choice is to use 644) - If you use the plugin **Remove Uppercase Ascents** and a CSS code like _.library- viewer–folder{text-transform: uppercase;}_ maybe this cause the problem. The solution in this case is to use instead this CSS code: .library-viewer–folder h3 a{text-transform: uppercase;} - Check if the file or folder has special characters in its name. Some are not supported as names of folders and files such as %. In this case, contact me via [email](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/library-viewer/info@pexlechris.dev?output_format=md) or via [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/library-viewer/) to find a solution! - For other problems, you can open a support ticket in [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/library-viewer/) ### Can I add my custom text inside a folder of front-end library viewer? Yes. If you want to add text above the front-end folders or below the front-end files, you can create via FTP a file with name “include.php” in the FTP folder that you want texts to be shown in front-end. HTML tags are allowed! Your texts must be values of php variables ($text_at_beginning , $text_at_end respectively) as you can see below: ``` ```   Also, you can use the hooks `lv_folder_text_at_beginning` and `lv_folder_text_at_end` respectively for this scope. ### Is Library Viewer’ file viewer supports all mime types (file extensions)? From 1.1.2, the Library Viewer’ file viewer supports all mime types that WordPress supports. These that included in the function: wp_get_mime_types() If you want to add support for mime types that are not included, use the WP filter: lv_mime_types to include them. Read more in [HOOKS DOCUMENTATION](https://www.pexlechris.dev/library-viewer/hooks-wp#lv_mime_types) Read also [how to add PHP hooks in your WordPress Site in my blog](https://www.pexlechris.dev/how-to-add-php-hooks-in-your-wordpress-site) ### I want all files to be downloaded. Is that possible? Yes, you need to use the Library Viewer’ file viewer (my_doc_viewer=”library-viewer”) and to add the following hook in your functions.php ``` add_filter('lv_mime_types', function(){ return array(); }); ``` Read [how to add PHP hooks in your WordPress Site in my blog](https://www.pexlechris.dev/how-to-add-php-hooks-in-your-wordpress-site) ### Can I change the colors or the fonts that plugin uses? Yes. But only with plain CSS at the moment. So you can add your custom css from WP customizer (from Additional CSS) ### I have a proposal for a new functionality of this plugin. Can I suggest it to you? Yes. I need new ideas to improve my plugin.
