Same Taxonomy as Post Category?

    Seems like this would be a great simple solution except that it’s using the same taxonomy as Posts. So all my post categories show up in my media categories and vice versa.

    Hi TakeOk, as described in the faq:

    By default the WordPress Media Library uses the same categories as WordPress does (such as in posts & pages). If you want to use separate categories for the WordPress Media Library add this code to the file functions.php located in your theme or child-theme:

    /**
* separate media categories from post categories
* use a custom category called 'category_media' for the categories in the media library
*/
add_filter( 'wpmediacategory_taxonomy', function(){ return 'category_media'; } ); //requires PHP 5.3 or newer

    Or if you have an older PHP version:
    add_filter( 'wpmediacategory_taxonomy', create_function( '', 'return "category_media";' ) ); //requires PHP 4.0.1 or newer
