Hi , I have read the documents.
Now I have 1000 folders, I want to make galleries for each folders.

I think I can
1. Import media files and folder structure via ftp.

2. use short code to make galleries. for example
[gallery wpmf_autoinsert="1" wpmf_folder_id="8" display="default" columns="3" size="medium" targetsize="large" link="file" wpmf_orderby="post__in" wpmf_order="ASC" gutterwidth="10" border_style="solid" img_border_radius="10" border_width="1" border_color="#dd3333" img_shadow="1px 1px 10px 2px #cecece" autoplay="1"]

My question is :
If I change short code
wpmf_folder_id="x"
for 1000 galleries.
each short code can auto show each galleries ? (for example id =1 ~1000)
(each short code import to the custom field.)

or I should add galleries one by one manually ?

Yes, the inserted gallery will display automatically if you fill the right folder id on each shortcode.

Hope it helps!

Thank you for reply.

more one question
Is it possible to use "folder name" instead of folder id in shortcode ?
for example:



wpmf_folder_id="x"

to 

wpmf_folder_name="foldername"

Hi,
Thank you for reply.

I think WP Media Folder will create table in database.

How can I find folder_id from mysql ?
Would you please show me the example ?

You can enable "Display folder ID" option at main settings, please go here for more details:

https://www.joomunited.com/wordpress-documentation/wp-media-folder/200-wp-media-folder-configuration#toc-1-general-settings

And on the database, you can find it in the table: "#_terms".

Hope it helps!
Cheers,
