Actually a helpful plugin. But has not been working with WPBakery Page Builder for some time now. Among other things, it blocks adding new images to a gallery.
This plugin is great, super helpful. I have been using it to create categories for media items that I then use with Loopers in Theme.co's Pro theme with Grids and Sliders. Saved me tons of work.
Thank you, a great plug-in.
With almost 14,000 photos and after I lost all my categories with Enhanced Media Library plugin which I used for 6 years, this plugin (Media Library Categories) gave me a chance to make new categories again.
Hope there will be a choice to remove the appearance of number of photos in each category.
Cheers
After using the free version for an evening, I popped for the pro version.
I found this to be a terrific addition to my media library toolkit as it provides good options for categorizing images. This is helpful when I've uploaded dozens of images and categorized them, and I'm ready to create topic-based sliders or galleries. I can now easily select a category, then choose images within that category without scrolling through 100's of unrelated images.
The developer is responsive and helful to questions.
So the plugin imports all categories from posts to media categories. So that isn't right. Why is that? Then if you delete a category from media then automatically delete the category from posts. So all is a mess. Disappointed.
This was exactly what I was looking for, it installed without any issues and so far appears to be working just fine. A small improvement would be the ability to filter the media list to see only images that have not been categorized at all. Or, at least allow the the media list to be sorted by using the 'Categories' label at the top of the categories column in the list. Many thanks.
Works. After a snag that I fixed, migrated from Enhanced
I had to do the functions.php fix in the FAQ, and also had to make it "media_categories" and not "categories_media". I don't know if that was just me, but if anyone runs into problems try that, also make sure you don't have extra quotes or anything copy straight from the code box.
After buying Premium, i could transition from Enhanced Media Library to this one. I have over 20,000 images and was not looking forward to reorganizing them.
The only things missing in this plugin are grid editing, and bulk delete/assign from grid. Grid is just so much easier when dealing with lots of files. If that capability is added all will be gold.
That nag aside, I'm using this now and look forward to more improvements.
Only thing missing is WPML compatibility when using seperate media categories
When using the Media Library Categories with WPML with separate media categories from post categories; then it looses it's wpml compatibility, is there a fix for this?
(When it shared the categories with the posts the categories were seperate from wpml languages)
Meaning the separate media categories is not seperate from each WPML languages but instead are shared across languages.
If you look into this for me I will gradly translate the plugin to danish as it's my native language as I would like to have this plugin for my multilanguage site.
When edition a page in classic or new block system you never see a preview , it's always no items found.
On the visitor site their is no issue (for now)
