 * Hi there, cool plug-in.
 * I wanted to segment my image walls by the topic so for example Bedroom, Kitchen,
   etc.
    I tried assigning a ‘Kitchen (All)’ and ‘Bedroom(All)’ category using the‘
   Media Library Categories’ plug-in and using the shortcode: [image_wall include_categories
   =”Bedroom(All)” exclude_categories=”Uncategorized, Kitchen (All)” background_color
   =”grey”]
 * All of the images in my media library are still showing up.
 * I tried making a post with only Bedroom items and categorizing it as “Bedroom(
   All)” but all images are still showing up.
 * What would be the best way to achieve this?
 * Thanks

 * My plugin doesn’t know anything about your Media Library plugin, so those media
   library categories won’t do anything.
 * The include_categories argument only restricts the posts that the Media Library
   pulls images from.
 * See the [Image Wall Plugin](http://www.themodernnomad.com/image-wall-plugin/)
   page for more information.

 * So what would be the simplest way to specify the images that you want to include
   in the Image Wall? I have tons of images and don’t want them all showing.
 * Thanks

 * I would suggest that you look for a gallery plugin of some sort. The image wall
   is not meant to be a gallery plugin. It is more like a visual navigation of your
   blog posts. That is why you have some control over the blog posts you include/
   exclude on the wall, but not the images.

 * Closing this as there is no further feedback.
