    Hi all,

    Is it possible to export Media Library Categories created using Media Library Organizer ? I have been working on a dev environment and would like to export and import on my prod environment the media categories since I have thousands of images.

    I was under the impression that the export feature does exactly that but it seems that it only exports the Media Library Organizer plugins settings.

    Am pretty much new to working with wordpress so any other work around would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Hi @claytoncollie,

    Thank you for using Media Library Organizer and for reaching out to us!

    You are correct, the export feature only allows you to export the plugin’s settings. This approach makes sense to us because the categories you create are added directly to the Media Library in WordPress, rather than being stored within the plugin itself.

    I hope this does not cause any inconvenience!

    Kind regards,

    Mara

    Do you have a suggestion on how to export the category terms assocaited with each attachment?

    Hi @claytoncollie,

    Firstly I wanted to follow up with you on this topic.

    I realized I might have misunderstood something earlier – sorry about that! The categories created with Media Library Organizer are actually managed within the plugin itself, not directly within WordPress’s usual category system. Because of that, there isn’t a built-in way to export those categories easily.

    Unfortunately, this also means that other plugins wouldn’t typically be able to work with those categories (for example exporting them) unless they are specifically designed to interact with Media Library Organizer.

    As a workaround , you can try going into the WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Export, choose Media and click on Download Export File. This method will have the categories’ details but only for the categories that contain at least one media file.

    I hope this explanation clears things up! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask or open another thread.

    Best regards,

    Mara

    This is great news. I tested and the custom category is in the XML export and imports properly. Thanks for the help.
