Features
The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.
- Four layouts – searchable table, responsive card grid, a thumbnail-forward document gallery, or collapsible folders that follow your category hierarchy…
- Instant search – filters as you type, no page reloads
- Date-added filter – narrow a library to the past week, month or year (optional)
- Year filter – a dropdown of the years the library’s documents span, read from their dates, for minutes, newsletters and reports filed by year (optional)…
- Reference number – a part number, document code or form number on every document: searchable, and a sortable column
- Group by category – one library rendered as a titled section per category, with one search box across all of them, instead of a stacked library per category
- AI-agent ready – read-only abilities for WordPress 6.9’s Abilities API, so agents can search the library through MCP
- Sortable columns – title, date, size, type, downloads, and more
- Unlimited documents – no cap; search scales automatically as your library grows
- Download tracking – per-document download counts
- Force download or open in browser – choose per document whether the button saves the file or opens it in the browser

The perfect Document Library plugin
This plugin is a hidden gem and recommended to me by GPT. A perfect solution for my local government client needing 1000s of public facing documents migrated from an old plugin. The free version alone is spectacular, but we bought the Pro version to support development. Keep up the good work. Very happy :)

Great Plugin
FileDeck is a great plugin. It’s easy to set up, works well with WordPress and makes document management much easier. The Premium version also includes OCR, which is really useful because it allows you to search inside scanned documents and files that don’t contain searchable text. What impressed me most, though, was the support. Fast, helpful and very competent. Whenever I needed assistance, I received clear and effective answers. Definitely recommended.

Great plugin and developer
This plugin is far above all of the other document plugins. The developer is very responsive and even for free this has a lot of features. Don't hesitate to try it. I think you will love it..
