[mla_gallery] does not display anything

    Sorry for the bandwidth on what seems like a simple question, but I’ve spent quite a bit of time with the MLA documentation and searching the forum and haven’t been able to figure this out.

    I uploaded several PDF’s. They are unattached, and have been assigned an attachment category (slug) of “nist”. I’ve tried many versions of the shortcode on a page, but here are three of them:

    [mla_gallery]
    [mla_gallery post_parent=all]
    [mla_gallery attachment_category=”nist” post_parent=all]

    I know I must be missing something obvious, but nothing displays with any shortcode I’ve tried.

    TIA, Rick.

    Thanks for your “simple” (but subtle) question; I appreciate the time you’ve taken looking for answers in the documentation and the Support Forum. Thanks as well for posting the shortcodes you have tried; very helpful.

    The answer is in the “Post MIME Type” section of the Settings/Media Library Assistant Documentation tab, but it is easy to miss. Here’s the text in that section:

    For compatibility with the WordPress [gallery] shortcode, this parameter defaults to post_mime_type=image. You can override the default to, for example, display PDF documents (post_mime_type=application/pdf) or all MIME types (post_mime_type=all). You can select several MIME types with a comma-separated list, e.g., post_mime_type='audio,video'. Wildcard specifications are also supported. For example, post_mime_type='*/mpeg' to select audio and video mpeg formats or post_mime_type='application/*ms*' to select all Microsoft application formats (Word, Excel, etc.).

    If you add post_mime_type=application/pdf to your shortcodes I believe you will get the result you want. I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions about selecting the PDF documents for display. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
