== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How does the WordPress pdf gallery plugin work? =
This free WordPress pdf gallery plugin adds a **CatFolders Document Gallery** block in Gutenberg. You can use it to create a WP document library on the front-end. Once you have published the documents and other files to the gallery, your website visitors can search, sort, preview, view all documents, or download files very quickly. It helps retain traffic and boost engagement on your WordPress website.

= Can't upload images or files to WordPress media library? =

= Is there a limit to the number of documents I can display on WordPress page/post? =
There's no limit to how many attachments and files you can add to a folder. Therefore, no limit on the number of documents per page/post! This **CatFolders Document Gallery** plugin is optimized with smart pagination so the users can go back and forth between the pages very quickly without reloading page.

= Does it support hierarchical folders?  =
If you're using [CatFolders - WP Media Folders free version](https://wordpress.org/plugins/catfolders/), which doesn't create subfolders, it won't be displaying multiple folders on the front-end. However, you can bulk-select folders using **Ctrl/Command** or **Shift** key and display all files contained in those folders.
Regarding showing the folder tree structure on the front-end, we are considering it and will implement it as soon as we can.
