    Hello I have a few PDF files in my media library and using the media library assistant I’ve created a category for them. I would like to make a dropdown list using those under the category, so if people click on their choice, it opens the pdf. I’ve tried using [mla_term_list] but I just don’t understand it enough. Please help?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks for your question, which has come up before; PDF lists are a popular topic.

    As you have discovered, the [mla_term_list] shortcode will give you a list of the terms in a taxonomy but not a list of the Media Library items assigned to a term.

    This earlier topic may give you a solution that works for your application:

    Creating a dropdown list of PDF files

    Read through the entire topic to get a better sense of what’s involved. You might also find this topic of interest:

    List items

    It describes another way to present the list and it links to other topics with several alternative approaches.

    I hope the above suggestions give you the information you need for your application. I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or further questions regarding the solutions outlines in the earlier topics. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
