Reviews

Works nicely

shawfactor December 2, 2020

Good plugin, does the job,

Great for creating a simple media taxonomy

Knut Sparhell November 12, 2020

When you need media “folders”, like for images or photos, this is the plugin. Works out of the box. Let’s a developer add tax queries, as for post. Then very powerful.

Good but need enhancements

I can filter in list-/grid-view in the normal media-view. But can’t filter when selecting an image in a page or product.

meh

As a proof of concept it does work, but user has type categories manually upon file upload and there is no category filtering in media insertion dialog, which kind’a would be the point of having categories.

So many thanks

Hey John, So many thanks for your work on the free plugins ! There is one thing on that one that would be great in furture updates : Having a dropdown with the existing categories when you upload a media file. For now, there is only a blank category field where you need to type in the slug of the category you want to add to the media (ie you need to know the slug). Cheers !

Good plugin

It would be better if you add possibility to show translation of your plugin. May be something like this load_plugin_textdomain(‘wp-media-categories’, false, basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . ‘/lang/’);
