Your code worked perfect! I think I’m learning, slowly but couldn’t at all without your help. Thank you!

I used name instead better readability for visitors and in site activity but slug is probably close enough.

Unfortunately changing all instances of name to slug in the code broke all of the multiword tags including those that were working as name…

‘[mla_gallery]
post_mime_type=”none”
mla_nolink_text=”{+template:(<h2>Images tagged with {+request:current_slug+}</h2>)+}”
[/mla_gallery]’

[mla_gallery]
tax_query= "array ( array ( 'taxonomy' => 'attachment_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => array( {+request:current_slug+} ) ) )"
post_mime_type=image
orderby=date order=DESC
mla_caption=' '
columns=5 posts_per_page=20 size=thumbnail link=file 
[/mla_gallery]

[mla_gallery]
mla_output="paginate_links,prev_next"
mla_link_class="nav-links"
tax_query= "array ( array ( 'taxonomy' => 'attachment_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => array( {+request:current_slug+} ) ) )"
post_mime_type=image
posts_per_page=20
[/mla_gallery]

[mla_tag_cloud]
taxonomy=attachment_tag post_mime_type=image
mla_link_href="/images-by-tags/?current_slug={+slug+}"
minimum=2 number=200 smallest=8 largest=16 separator=' - '
[/mla_tag_cloud]

I’m on a hosted platform and cannot modify config files or access the file system so no debug mode on my live production site that I can access. This normally works fine since I have no interest in being a programmer, just (like most WordPress users) want to use themes and plugins easily. Nor would I want to publish what no doubt includes a ton of specific data about my site in a public forum (if this even allows me to paste that much text).

WordPress is up to date 6.1, basic Gutenberg block theme, a few other (very) popular plugins all working fine. Posted here to see if as the developer you had insights but apparently not.

your banner image on the plugin page, your icon in the plugin directory…

no idea what lpg, pastbin, or gist is… my site is hosted so not even sure if I can access debug logs but I’d have to break my site by reactivating the plugin to generate logs

This looks likes it’s working! Thank you so much for your help, I’ve been beating my head against the desk on this since the first time I touched wordpress.

My only thought to extend usability for others might be to extend functionality to work on [mla_gallery] as well but seems to be working perfect for built in gallery.

Thanks again!

For the gallery editor then I’m content with the built-in Gutenberg block gallery for this purpose. I do use the “spectra” plugin which ads a masonry layout and would love to find a mosaic layout that works (photonic mla_gallery doesn’t work due to constant re-randomization) but will sacrifice layouts if necessary, just trying to keep everything as simple as possible and show the gallery in the post as I want but would like to also include links to image/aka att_tags similarly to post-tags.

I’m using the default gallery because I can upload images directly to the post and they appear as “attached” and I can then view and add meta details in media library. It’s extremely frustrating having to turn off “crop” and re-assign columns and image size with every post but this seems to be a global wordpress failing. the mla_gallery works on the same post but then becomes redundant and requires additional coding so no reason to remove the original and then try to organize the mla_gallery.

I don’t know if I explained wrong or am reading wrong? This seem like a yes and no, I’m by no means a developer and for vision difficulties never can be since screen time (especially reading) is extremely limited.

The above tells me that if I have a post where

[mla_gallery]
size=thumbnail
[/mla_gallery]

works (not ideal to be used on every post since I want/need a visual gallery editor but very powerful for other pages) my understanding is I have what this plugin needs to do what I want.

the tag cloud I have now is

[mla_tag_cloud]
taxonomy=attachment_tag post_mime_type=image
mla_link_href="/images-by-tags/?current_id={+term_id+}"
number=20
smallest=8 largest=20 
separator=' - '
include="321. 324"
[/mla_tag_cloud]

I just don’t know the coding to make include=”1, 2, 3″ into include=on-this-post so that I don’t have to manually lookup and add the (randomly generated?) tag IDs on every post. I want something that pulls automatically and can then be added as a reusable block the same way post taxonomies are.

my destination page is just a page, no template or php, just has three shortcodes copied out to display the [mla-gallery], pagination, and a full [mla_tag_cloud]

Maybe it’s still out of scope, just trying to make sure I’m clear since I can’t imagine I’m the first person trying to do this (or everything else on wordpress I can’t find answers for)

This definitely helps! the “Attachment details” page still collapses att_tags but I’m thinking it’s because it’s out of room at the bottom of the page?

They could be attached in the WordPress point of view of having been uploaded directly to the post but my original thought was anything (images for me) shown on the post either inline, default gallery or cover blocks, (not really sure about the technical difference or value other than media library showing “parent”) third party galleries would be ideal (formatting options they offer) but understand some work very differently and could cause issues. for most of these posts I’m not sure how I could use [mla_gallery] as the original gallery in the post.

Example would be a post for a Halloween party, the post has it’s own “event” category and “Halloween, costume, party” tags that show in normal wordpress taxonomies and can be clicked to view archives of posts sharing those tags. I want to add a taxonomy for the individual images that have att_tags like “vampire, nurse, zombie”. I want people to be able to see and click “vampire” to go to my new ‘att_archive_page’ to see all my images with the tag “vampire”.

Similarly a post with a broader “landscape” category or tag would have individual images that are more tightly identified by “sunset, lake, coast, mountains” but “vampire” definitely shouldn’t appear on this post.

I’d love to see share icons on my lightbox too…

I’ve gotten that far, I have my featured image showing but a little less than a quarter of my posts don’t have images so they come back as blank and don’t show unless I turn excerpt/title on for all posts. I want only the no-image posts to show the text.

This is extremely annoying to have to dismiss over and over
