 * I’ve only used this to display a list of some PDFs in a widget (using the plugin
   Shortcode Widget) and it’s good for that.
    I am using a child theme but this 
   plugin looks in the parent theme for your customised templates, so if you follow
   the instructions and put the `media-category-library` directory in the child 
   theme it won’t be recognised. Putting it in the parent theme probably won’t be
   a problem, theme upgrades are unlikely to delete it.
