Reporting Bugs & Feature Requests for Media Categories

Managing the WordPress support thread is becoming a bit unruly. Its fine for conversations and general support, but its really bad for bug tracking.

Feel free to ask questions regarding usage, or to ask here first to determine if something is a bug or not – however from now on if something is a valid bug I would appreciate if everyone could report them on the GitHub Issues Tracker.

GitHub Issue Tracker
Just like we already do with http://wordpress.org/support/ and http://core.trac.wordpress.org/, the GitHub Issues Tracker will serve as just a bug and feature request tracking tool whereas this support forum can be limited to conversations, questions, sanity checks, and general praise of how awesome I am.

This will simplify bug reporting and help me track feature requests and reduce duplicates.

Feature Requests
Please check the issues tracker to make sure the request has not already been made. If it has, feel free to add a comment to show your support for that feature. As stated above, this will help reduce duplicates and let me gauge if a particular feature is especially desired.

Bug Reports
As with feature requests, please check to see that the bug you’ve found is not already in the Issues Tracker. If your not sure that the problem your having is a bug, then feel free to post a question here describing your trouble and if its determined that what you have is a bug with the plugin, I’ll ask you to post it to the issue tracker.

Code Submissions
I love open source – several times I’ve had developers find bugs, fix them on their own, and give me the code. I REALLY REALLY appreciate this. However I can’t always get around to code reviewing or releasing the next version right away. After a while its harder to keep track of the code people have offered me.

I ask that if you go to GitHub, fork my plugin, commit your code, and create a Pull Request. If you don’t know git, it may sound intimidating but believe me its really easy, and GitHub has a ton of tutorials on how to do anything you need to. Its generally something you should get familiar with anyway – its a wonderful tool.

I’m really happy that this plugin has taken off in popularity – I hope I can always stay a bit ahead of what WordPress is doing with the Media Library and fill in the gaps where it falls short.

Thank you all for your feedback, bug reports, code, and your patience.
