 * Hi, Sorry of this is an irritating newbie question but can someone give me a 
   quick idiots guide to getting started with this plugin (it’s all up and running
   I’m just not sure how to start creating new folders and moving things)?

 * Hello [@andybs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andybs/),
 * You can’t create real folders with this plugin. But you can create categories
   like you can do it for posts.
 * After activating go to the Media Settings -> Taxonomies menu and start using 
   existed taxonomies or creating new ones. For better understanding of what the
   taxonomies are you can read this article [http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies](http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies)
 * In a nutshell, taxonomy is some kind of category. For example you have an art
   library with a lot of art works of different genres, and you don’t like to categorize
   them just by “category”, you wish to call that categories “genres”. Also you 
   need sort images by authors. In this case you need to create 2 new taxonomies:
   Genres and Authors.
 * Next go to the Media menu. Its submenu will look something like this:
 * * Library
    * Add new * Genres * Authors
 * There may be other taxonomies if you assigned them on the Media Settings -> Taxonomies
   page. If you don’t need them you have to go back and just uncheck the checkbox
   before unwanted taxonomy.
 * Now add your genres and authors and assign images to appropriate category in 
   the Media Popup or on single image admin page.
 * Please also take a look at [screenshots](http://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/screenshots/).
   First screen – creating taxonomy, 3rd – adding new taxonomy terms (genres and
   authors in our case), 4th – editing image on single image admin page, 8th – editing
   image on Media Popup.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hi Nadia
 * Thanks so much for this, very helpful, very informative and if I could just get
   EML to work with the Heuman theme I would be up and running, sadly they seem 
   to dislike each other and I have had to disable EML as it disabled some of the
   styling options (Heuman is otherwise actually pretty good for a free theme).
 * Pity as EML looks extremely useful…

 * Hi [@andybs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andybs/),
 * EML doesn’t affect styling in any way. It works only with WordPress admin and
   provides possibility to assign/sort images by categories. I believe the issue
   is caused by something other.

 * Hi Nadia
 * Fair enough, I have no programming knowledge so bow to your greater understanding,
   all I know is that styling is all there and working when EML is disabled and 
   big chunks disappear the minute I enable it, perhaps it’s a mixture of things,
   just thought you might like to know there’s a possible problem

 * Hi Andy,
 * Is this happening in admin or front-end of your website? Can you please post 
   a screenshot of one of those disappeared chunks? Something like (before/after).
   Thanks

 * Hi Nadia
 * Sure no problem (it’s in Admin, the stying part of the Heuman theme)
 * Before loading the EML plugin it looks like…

 * Thank you.
 * I just installed the theme and checked it with and without EML on WordPress 3.9.2.
   It works equally well. I would be grateful if you also can deactivate all other
   plugins and check if the theme works with EML in this case. Thanks!
 * Also please let me know if you can see some kind of error message in browser’s
   developer tool window (F12).

 * Hi Nadia
 * Well I deactivated all the plugins that didn’t actually come with the theme (
   I’d only added a couple) and I still have the problem so no idea what is going
   wrong…
 * I did try the f12 tool but in all honesty I have no idea what the hell I’m looking
   for, although there were no glaring error messages that I could see
 * Sorry I couldn’t be more help

 * Hi Andy,
 * Thanks for your efforts! I am afraid that I am not able to reproduce this issue.
   I suspect it is some jQuery conflict but have no clue why it happens to your 
   website. If you want me to try to fix the issue you can send me access to your
   website to wordpressuxsolutions [at] gmail [dot] com
