Category Filter Issue

Hai Hugh,

Thanks for using my plugin.

I’m not quite sure what’s happening at your site.

It puzzles me when you talk about ‘search’ and ‘filter’ as they are both two different things. The filter is set by the dropdown and activated by the “Filter” button on the list screen while the search is related to the input field on the right in the same row. In grid view, the filtering works similar but the “Filter” button as the change of the dropdown is shown immediately.

Can you explain a bit more on this issue?

I’m sorry for the confusion. Let me try this again.
Lets say I am making a new page and want to insert a photo. I go to insert media and my media page comes up with all my photos. Then there is a drop down to “view categories” and each category shows the number of photos that are in it but when I select the category the screen goes blank and it says “no items found”. I want to be able to select the category so it will filter out all the other photos so I can more easily neavgate to the photo I want when putting together a post or page. Is this possible?

Hai Hugh,

Thanks for the more detailed explanation.
You finish asking whether this is possible. Well, it is one of the main reasons this plugin exists ??
So I tried to follow your description and I have to say, it works as I intended and as you described above.

Could you test whether this plugin is interfering with another plugin on your site?
You could test this by disabling all plugins exept this WP MCM. See if it works. If it does not, maybe there maybe something with the settings of WP or this WP MCM. Can you provide a screenshot of the WP MCM Settings page?

If it works with only WP MCM active, there is an issue with one of the other plugins. Try to activate one plugin and test. If it is ok, proceed by activating another plugin and continue until it doesn’t work anymore. Then this lastly activated plugin would interfere with WP MCM. If you tell me which one it is, I might have a look and see whether there is a workaround or whether I need to fix something.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I figured it out. There was an issue with the other plugin. Apparently Custom Post doesn’t work very well with your plugin, but I would much rather have yours than the other. ??

Much thanks!

Glad it works out. Thanks for the feedback.
