Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Media Library Categories
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 you can use a custom taxonomy, this can be set under Settings → Media (or click on the settings quicklink on the WordPress plugins overview page).
To only show images from one category in the gallery you have to add the 'category' attribute to the [gallery] shortcode. The value passed to the 'category' attribute can be either the category slug or the term_id, for example with the category slug: [gallery category="my-category-slug"] Or with term_id: [gallery category="14"] If you use an incorrect slug by default WordPress shows the images that are attached to the page / post that is displayed. If you use an incorrect term_id no images are shown. Aside from this behavior, the [gallery] shortcode works as it does by default with the built-in shortcode from WordPress (see the WordPress gallery shortcode codex page). If you only want to show attachments uploaded to the page and filtered by category than use the 'id' in combination with the 'category' attribute. For example (the id of the post is 123): [gallery category="my-category-slug" id="123"] Or leave id empty for current page / post: [gallery category="my-category-slug" id=""] In this example the slug is used, but you could also use the term_id.
