WordPress Media Tags

Description

If you ever wanted to tag your media contents in WordPress, now you can. Tags can provide a comprehensive organization of different medias from different posts. Each tag is working like an own group. Medias with the same tags can be filtered by clicking on their tag names inside the media library. This helps you to organize a large amount of medias and even more: With a shortcode you can display all medias from a specific tag like a gallery.

Features

• Ability to tag media contents
• Separate taxonomy for media tags
• Displaying tags in library
• Extra field for media tags during upload
• Support for multiple tags in shortcode
• Localization in English and German
• No coding needed
• Custom image sizes

Usage

To display 5 images which have a tag named ‘Flowers’ and ‘Screenshots’ you can manually add the following shortcode in HTML view:
[mediatag name=”flowers, screenshots” size=”thumbnail” number=5]

Display all images which are tagged with ‘Flowers’ and ‘Screenshots’ in 80 x 80 Pixel with the HTML class ‘demo’:
[mediatag name=”flowers, screenshots” size=”80, 80″ class=”demo”]

This plugin does the trick. Why isn’t this part of WordPress core?? It seems bizarre to me that you can’t organize/search for media using tags!
