    Hi,

    I installed the plugin Enhanced Media Library, created some media categories and put the media files in the media categories. How can I exclude all media files of a certain media category from the search?

    When I hover a media category in the admin area, the link looks like this
    /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=delete&taxonomy=media_category&tag_ID=90&_wpnonce=8764bd87fc

    So I typed in the category ID of the media category here:
    Settings –> Relevanssi –> Exclude these categories from search
    Settings –> Relevanssi –> Exclude these tags from search

    Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Is there another solution?

    Best

    If you want to completely exclude the media files, it’s best to do it in indexing, that way you get a search that performs slightly better.

    add_filter('relevanssi_do_not_index', 'rlv_media_indexing', 10, 2);
function rlv_media_indexing($block, $post_id) {
    if (has_term(90, 'media_category', $post_id)) $block = true;
    return $block;
}

    Add this code to the theme functions.php and rebuild the index. Now the media files in the category 90 should be gone.
