Bulk upload images in upload folder does not show in media library

Welcome to WordPress Stack Exchange community.

Actually adding media directly to uploads folder, will not be shown in WordPress Media Library as those images which you have added manually in upload folders are not stored in the database. However, if you manually use image path then they will be accessible but it will not get displayed in Media Library.

WordPress stores all uploaded media files as a media post in the database and displays them in Media Library.

So please upload all images in ‘Media’ in your website backend, instead of manually uploading them in the upload folder.

Hope this helps!!
