FAQ
-
How do I use this plugin?
-
On the options page, define which taxonomy to use for media: either use the standard post taxonomy, a dedicated media taxonomy or a custom media taxonomy.
Define the categories to be used for media.
Toggle category assignments to media, either individually or in bulk.
Use category filter when adding media to posts or pages. -
How do I use this plugin to support the media taxonomy of another plugin?
-
There are a number of plugins available for managing media categories.
This plugin now supports the settings previously defined to support those media categories.Check out the MCM Settings page which shows an option “Media Taxonomy To Use”.
The dropdown list of this option shows a list of all taxonomies currently used by this WordPress installation.
The option “(P) Categories” is the taxonomy defined by default for posts.
The option “MCM Categories” is the taxonomy previously defined as “Media Categories” by version 1.1 and earlier of this plugin.
If there are other taxonomies currently assigned to attachments, the list shows the corresponding taxonomy slug prefixed with (*).
When such a taxonomy is selected to be used, the taxonomy will be registered anew with the indication “(*) Custom MCM Categories“.
As long as this taxonomy is selected, the functionality available for “MCM Categories” is now available for these “(*) Custom MCM Categories“, i.e. toggling and filtering.
The name shown for the “(*) Custom MCM Categories” can be changed using the option “Name for Custom MCM Taxonomy” on the MCM Settings page. -
How can I use the “Default Media Category”?
-
First enable the option “Use Default Category” on the MCM Settings page.
When enabled and a media attachment has no category defined yet, the value of “Default Media Category” will be assigned automatically when a media attachment is added or edited.
The default value is also used in the[wp_mcm]
shortcode to automatically filter the attachments to be shown. -
Steps to assign a default category while uploading:
-
- Enable “Use default category” in Settings
- Define the default category to use
- Upload the media for this category
- Repeat from step 2 for other categories
-
How do I use the shortcode of this plugin?
-
Use the
[wp_mcm]
shortcode. Various shortcode uses are explained in the WP MCM -> Shortcodes page.
