I was hoping to do bulk actions in the Grid Mode – ie allocate a category – is this possible please? If not is it possible to set the list mode to longer than the default length as this is very time consuming?. Many Thanks John
In the list mode you can click on “Screen Options” located in the top of the screen. Here you can increase the value for “Number of items per page”.
presale question:
I’m using Elementor, which has a basic gallery block. Gallery Block asks you to add media, connecting to the media library to do so… but Elementor does not show free Media Library categories to sift by.
Does the paid version of Media Library categories display within Elementor?
Yes it’s compatible with Elementor
Greetings ~
I’m using your Premium Image Categories plugin & I have a question…
When I create a gallery using a shortcode and filtered on a category, the layout of the thumbnails doesn’t look as nice as when I manually create a gallery by selecting images from my Media Library. Like if I have 8 images, but select a 6-column layout, the manually created galleries will resize the last to images to make it look more balanced. [ I hope that makes sense. ]
I realize this may be a shortcode question, & I’ve looked around for an answer, but I’m wondering if you know how to make the shortcode galleries look like the manually created ones.
Example: http://baldigafamilyslideshow.com/the-70s/
So far I like your plugin, but I’d like it a lot more if I could figure this out.
Thank you.

This can be resolved by altering the CSS of your theme.
Hi Jeffrey, I bought the Premium version but i’m not able to add a category to existing medias.. How can i do it? Thx
Have you already created one or more categories?
Installation failed. WordPress 5.4
Media Library view now is missing both List and Thumbnail views when plugin activated. They both return when plugin deactivated.
Hi Waldo, We don’t see any problems with our plugin in combination with WordPress 5.4. Are you using an old PHP version? WP 5.4 has bumped the minimum required PHP version. Have you checked if it’s working with other plugins turned off? Was it working with WP 5.3?
It was a plugin conflict i guess, working now
Ok, that’s good to hear. Which plugin was causing the conflict?
Enhanced Media Library Version 2.7.2 | By wpUXsolutions | View details
I think the new Wordpress might have broke this? There is no longer a box in Settings>Media Now all my media categories have disappeared. To make this more commplicated, when thhe WP hit I also at the same time I deleted my old child twentyseventeen theme that had the custom edit in it. I’ll try editing functions again
Or if you have the plugin version 2.5 or older you can add this code to the file functions.php located in your theme or child-theme: /**- separate media categories from post categories
- use a custom category called ‘category_media’ for the categories in the media library */ add_filter( ‘wpmediacategory_taxonomy’, function(){ return ‘media_category’; } ); //requires PHP 5.3 or newer
Hmmm..Putting that old snippet back into functions.php whitescreened my site I am using 2.5.
NM I put the old snippet back in with no errors. However, the Setting>Media remains unchanged and I am unable to access the media categories
I got it all figured out.
Ok, glad you figured it out 
Hello. I have bought the premium license today and I cannot find the way to insert a shortcode in a page where I want to show all pictures in media with a category selections dropdown menu or checked list (where I can check one ore more categories). I want the categories dropdown or list gets automatically all new categories. Please, can you help me with the needed shortcodes?? I cannot find all the possible shortcodes for the premium version on the documentation. Tks. Albert Lens
Still not having a solution. Please give me a complete list of shortcodes and how to use them (all of them, for the PREMIUM version). I want my users to access a page where there are all the pictures uploaded in media, and that they are able to select (via dropdown menu or checkbox menu) the media category or categories they want to filter, and that it works, of course. Any ideas, please???? Thanks.
To only show images from one category in the gallery you have to add the ‘category‘ attribute to the [gallery] shortcode. The value passed to the ‘category‘ attribute can be either the category slug or the term_id, for example with the category slug:
[gallery category=”my-category-slug”] Or with term_id:
[gallery category=”14”] If you use an incorrect slug by default WordPress shows the images that are attached to the page / post that is displayed. If you use an incorrect term_id no images are shown.
Aside from this behavior, the [gallery] shortcode works as it does by default with the built-in shortcode from WordPress (see the WordPress gallery shortcode codex page). If you only want to show attachments uploaded to the page and filtered by category than use the ‘id‘ in combination with the ‘category‘ attribute. For example (the id of the post is 123):
[gallery category=”my-category-slug” id=”123”] Or leave id empty for current page / post:
[gallery category=”my-category-slug” id=”“] In this example the slug is used, but you could also use the term_id.
Thank you. All that is already in the non-paid version. I wanted to prepare one only page or post where my users (family) go and see all pictures in media, but with the possibility to filter BY CATEGORY (media category).
I saw this on your page :”How can I filter on categories when inserting media into a post or page? This feature is only available in the premium version”
And that is why I bought the premium version.
In short, I need a page where my users see all pictures and be able to filter by category dynamically.
Is that possible with your plugin??? And, if so, which is the right shortcode or coding???
Tks.
Albert Lens
That’s a feature for the backend when editing a page or post. I think you are looking for a photogallery plugin.
Hi, Jeffrey - I’ve just purchased you “Media Library Categories Premium” plugin. There are a couple of things I’m seeing which I don’t understand.
First – I notice that a copy of the WordPress-installation .zip file is now in my media library. Why is that? Can I delete it?
Second – when I view my media library in “list” form, and attempt to use the filter to show only files of a certain category, it’s not working. I select the category I want and click “filter”, but it shows me everything in the library, not just the files within that category. (When I use the “thumbnail” view of the library, it does filter correctly). What do I need to do to get a filtered list in “list view”?
Thanks!
1. Yes please remove it, it shouldn’t be there. 2. Have you clicked on the button ‘filter’ when in list view? In the grid view the page automatically reloads.
Yes – in list view, I choose the category I want and then click “filter” – I get all categories, not just the one I selected.
Are you getting any errors? Or using other plugins that alter the media library or do something with categories?
No errors – we are using “SmushPro” plugin, but nothing else that affects the Media Library.
ok, that shouldn’t be any problem. We don’t know what could cause the problem. What version of WordPress are you using? Do you use the default category taxonomy or are you using a custom taxonomy slug?
We’re using the default, and we’re on WP version 5.4
Hi Jeffrey,
I just purchased the plugin but ran straight into an undefined index error when inserting media on a page with debug enabled. Can you take a look at that?
Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17jy5xSNtoUCRDa3C4uNoxvg2IeqcQL65/view?usp=sharing
Have you tried to set a custom taxonomy? And does it work with debug disabled? I’ve also tried testing with debug enabled but I am not getting an error. Do you have any exceptional settings on your Vagrant environment?
Hello, Great plugin! After to try the free version, I’ve bought the premium version and doesn’t work. The media library is empty. There is not any images. What is the problem? The version os Wordpress is 5.3.2. Thanks.
Hi, it looks like something went wrong when installing the plugin. Do you see any errors? Have you uninstalled / removed the free version before installing the premium? All categories and assignments are saved and restored so don’t worry about that.
Thanks, it was problem of Google Chrome. After updated is allright.
Hi Jeffrey, I have a couple of questions before we purchase. 1. We are currently using Enhanced Media Library and some of our images are in more than one category. If we migrate to your plugin will it randomly select which category to use when migrated? Should we go through our Media Library first and set the images (over 1,400) to the most important category? 2. I want to test this on our staging site first. It is in a sub-directory of our main site. Will there be any problem with the license when we start using it on the main site after testing on the staging site? Thank you!
1. You can select which category to use, but only one. This is why it’s better to set all to the most important category. 2. This will work without any problems.
Hello Jeffrey,
I am migrating from Enhanced Media Library Pro and have purchased your Pro version: In Settings/Media I have set the custom taxonomy slug to both ‘media_categories’ and ‘media_category’ (both mentioned in support as possible options), however am not able to see the six categories that I had previously created in EMLP.
Would you have any ideas as to what I may be doing incorrectly?
Thank you, ~ Billy
Hello Billy, We created a small post how to migrate from Enhanced Media Library Pro. https://jeffrey-wp.com/migrate-from-enhanced-media-library/ Please let us know if you have any more questions after reading it.
Jeffrey – thank you – this helped me realize what my issue is: EMLP allowed me to create multiple root taxonomies as each of my images has multiple variables – in my case I have six (‘event’, ‘location’ ‘year’ etc.) so using your instructions I could only choose one my taxonomies and enter that slug (it worked correctly by the way!). Is there a way to enter multiple taxonomy slugs, so I may access/use all six of my taxonomies? ~ Billy
Hi Billy, the plugin only support 1 (custom) taxonomy slug.
Pre-sales question. Does the Bulk-Categorization work on the GRID view? Can I select multiple images on the GRID view, and bulk add them to a category?
This is only possible in the list view. Filtering and other options are both working in the list and grid view.
Hi Jeffrey I have recently had to stop using your plugin because it seems to conflct with WP Bakery Page Builder by not allowing me to upload photos. Can you help please ? Thanks Andrew
Hi, please update to the most recent version (2.7.3) it fixes the issue on the upload screen.
Hello, I’m French (I translate my text with Google). I bought the pro version, but it bugged me.
In my theme, when I want to add an element to a menu, the categories are no longer displayed there (add an element / add a page) and I can no longer add anything. When I uninstall your pro version, I can see and select the elements again (I didn’t have a problem with the free version).
Please help me because in addition to the £ 21 your Pro version I paid, I was charged an additional £ 7 EU VAT fee just to download your software, so I hope the support will be cool.
And I point out that your pro version has a very big problem to manage hundreds of categories AND subcategories, because when we have to select a category (to add an image from a page / particles), I have to scroll through the page for 1 minute before finding the relevant category. And it’s worse when I have to assign an image to a category (to sort them), because I have to go down and down in the page to find the right category. – We simply need an accordion system for files and sub-categories, which would be better manageable especially with hundreds of sub-categories. - Example, I have 30 categories and 150 subcategories (and it’s not over) so let you imagine the length of the menu!
Please help me with my bug, otherwise I will have to deactivate your plugin and delete it, so that I can add items to my menus again.
Have you tried the option ‘Autocomplete search dropdown’ to better manage large amounts of categories? And can you add a screenshot of your other issue? Or describe the process step by step to reproduce the bug. (BTW I only get € 6 of each plugin, the rest goes to Envato / CodeCanyon and taxes.)
I would like to switch from enhanced media library plugin (isn’t supported anymore) to your plugin. I installed the free version but the categories are all gone and I would need to set it again for each image. Is there some import option or something similar in this premium version? Just don’t wanna choose all categories over again if I already did that.
Hi, as of version 1.9 of the free plugin and version 2.6 of the premium it’s possible to separate the media categories from the default WordPress categories through an user interface located under Settings → Media. Also accessible at the settings quicklink on the plugins overview page. If you enter the same Custom taxonomy slug as used in Enhanced Media Library (Pro) you can use it’s categories. I believe the default name in EML is “media_category”.
Hi, I recently upgraded to the Media Library Categories Premium v 2.7.2. When I go to insert an image into a post and the Media Library pops up, I click on “Upload Files” and then if I try and click on “Media Library” again, nothing happens. I have no way to switch back to my “Media Library” tab. In my console I have this message:
wpmlcp-media-views.min.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘models’ of undefined at i.createSingle (wpmlcp-media-views.min.js:1) at i.createSidebar (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3.2:1) at i.createSidebar (wpmlcp-media-views.min.js:1) at initialize (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3.2:1) at initialize (wpmlcp-media-views.min.js:1) at i.h.View (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at i.constructor (wp-backbone.min.js?ver=5.3.2:1) at i.constructor (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3.2:1) at new i (backbone.min.js?ver=1.4.0:1) at i.browseContent (media-views.min.js?ver=5.3.2:1)
Is it possible to fix this?
Thanks, Chris
We have released an update (version 2.7.3) which is now available for download. Please check it out if it fixes your issue.
Looks good. Thanks.

about 10 hours ago Flag Hi, is there a way to filter on media which has not been assigned any category yet?
With over 1000 images and over 400 of them Uncategorized, you need a method to find them. Please add “Not in a Media Category” as an option (Enhanced Media Library had that option and ability).
We are working on an update which will include this new feature. The release is expected for this weekend.
The filter option “not in a category” is available in version 2.8.0 (now available for download).

Hi,
We can’t upload or change picture from featured image field in wordpress 5.3.2, it just shows a blank white popup. Is there a bug?
Have you updated the plugin to the most recent version 2.7.2? Are you using a theme builder or any other plugins that could change the layout?
