Problem with the number of subjects in the tag cloud

Hello @flobogo,

Please add the following code to your functions.php and then add any tag to any media file to see the impact. We will add the option to manage this to the new release. Thanks for your request!

add_action( 'init', 'your_prefix_post_tag_update_count_callback' );

function your_prefix_post_tag_update_count_callback() {

    global $wp_taxonomies;

    if ( ! taxonomy_exists('post_tag') )
        return false;

    $post_tag = &$wp_taxonomies['post_tag'];
    $post_tag->update_count_callback = '_update_post_term_count';
}

Thank you for your interest in this problem.

I have indicated exactly the same lines of code in my function.php file.
Then I created a new post with a new uploaded photo to which I have added two tags.

Unfortunately, the code has not changed anything: Image tags are still counted with those of articles in the tags cloud. ??

Hello @flobogo,

Can you please try to deactivate EML and check if it changes anything? After deactivation please set any tag to any image. The code I provided to you actually works for me, so I am trying to grope the problem.

Hello Nadia,

I’m sorry, but I do not understand (perhaps my English is not good enough, I’m French): if I disable the plugin, I can’t put a tag on any image.
You mean I have to deactivate the plugin and then reactivate it?

Edit: Well, I tried to disable and then re-enable the plugin: the problem is still there -> when I add a tag to a picture, it is counted in the number of posts for the tag cloud.

No worries, my English isn’t good either, I am Ukrainian ??

Sorry, I forgot you don’t know how to activate tags for media files without the plugin. Do you mind to provide me with the access to your WordPress admin? If so, please send information to wpuxsolutions [at] gmail [dot] com

If it’s not acceptable for you, please let me know, I will describe the actions step by step.

Ok, I’d rather try by myself, step by step. I am not a coder, but I can apply the instructions.

Hello,

Please deactivate EML, add the following code

add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'wpuxss_eml_test_on_wp_loaded' );

if ( ! function_exists( 'wpuxss_eml_test_on_wp_loaded' ) ) {

    function wpuxss_eml_test_on_wp_loaded() {

        register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'attachment' );

    }
}

to your functions.php (it activates post tags for media items) and check your counter.

Hi,

Yes, your code works: it lets us assign tags to images, and it is not counted in the tag cloud. That’s perfect.
Except that for the time the tags are not displayed in the media library in back-end.

I hope you will be able to include this code in the next version of the plugin, so I can sort photos by tags on backend, without affecting the number of tagged subjects recorded in the tag cloud.

Thank you for your research and your work on this plugin.
