I understand you want to better organize your media files. Currently, WordPress.com doesn’t have a built-in folder or directory system in the Media Library. However, I can suggest some alternative ways to manage your media files more effectively:
- Use the Filter System
- You can filter media by type (images, documents, videos)
- Use the search function to find specific files
- Sort by date uploaded
- Implement a Naming Convention
- Use descriptive file names before uploading
- Add dates to file names (e.g., event-2025-04-logo.jpg)
- Include relevant keywords in file names
- Use the Media Grid View or List View
- Switch between these views to find files more easily
- List view provides additional details and sorting options
- Check Upload Dates
- Media is automatically organized by the date it was uploaded
- You can use the month/year filters to narrow down your search
If you’re finding media management challenging, you might want to consider upgrading to the Business plan, which allows you to install media management plugins that can provide folder functionality. However, with your current Personal plan, focusing on good file naming practices and using the built-in filters will help you keep your media organized.
Would you like me to provide more specific tips about any of these organization methods?

Additionally, I would like to inform you that you can create custom blog pages using the Blog Post Block in the WordPress Editor. This feature offers more customization options compared to relying on the automatic blog pages. For more information, you can visit our support page: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/
To achieve this level of customization, I recommend creating a new page and using the Blog Post Block in the WordPress Editor. This block allows you to customize your blog pages extensively, including the layout and content display. You can choose how many lines of text to show, add summaries, and more.
To proceed, you can create a new page by going to your WordPress dashboard, navigating to Pages, and clicking Add New. Name this page whatever you like (e.g., “Custom Blog”).
Then, open the WordPress Editor for this new page and add a Blog Post Block by clicking on the + icon, searching for it, and selecting it.
This block will allow you to customize how your blog posts are displayed. You can configure it to show summaries and a few lines of text as desired, and adjust other settings like the number of posts to display.
For detailed instructions on using the Blog Post Block, you can visit our support page: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/
If you need further assistance or have questions about this process, feel free to let me know.

Correct, that should be done now!
Again, to repeat what I did:
- I went to Pages > All Pages > opened the “Blog” page you made.
- I opened the left panel to select the “Blog Posts” block.
- I changed the “Number of items” in the right panel for that block to 20.
- I saved the change.
