    Hello @runamuk0,

    You should not setup a taxonomy in case you need just years and months. Just use:

    [gallery monthnum="12" year="2015"]

    The shortcode works when the feature is activated on Media Settings > Taxonomies > Options > Gallery > Enhanced Gallery.

    So where does it get the year and month? Is it the upload date or something else? I need it to be my data because I have older media that I am adding now.

    Yes, it’s the upload date. It is based on WP media library default filters. In case you need a different classification you can create two – photo_year and photo_month – or one – photo_date – taxonomies, for example. Then your shortcode should look like this:

    [gallery photo_year=%term_id% photo_month=%term_id%]

    At the moment EML doesn’t understand slugs and names of terms, but I guess, we add the support for those in some of upcoming releases.

    How does the category setup work? Is it hierarchical like:

    photo_year
    2008
    2009
    2010
    2011

    photo_month
    1
    2
    3

    Yes, like this. You can use any text for month and years, for example:

    Dates:
    January 2016
    February 2016

    Months:
    Jan
    Feb

    Any view you need. But you can use these terms with their IDs, not their slugs right now. So, if:

    Months:
    Jan (slug: jan, ID: 5)
    Feb (slug: feb, ID: 7)

    The you should use ID in shortcode:

    [gallery photo_month="5"]

    for images from January. Not much intuitive, though :). We will add slugs support definitely in one of the future releases.

    Best,
