Title: MCM filter drop-down box missing Last modified: February 23, 2019 --- # MCM filter drop-down box missing * [net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krstarica/) * (@krstarica) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/) * When adding media from the post, MCM filter drop-down box is missing if values inside of it are lengthy. * The solution is to force as important the following CSS: * ``` .media-frame select.attachment-filters { max-width: 30% !important; } ``` * Just noticed using WordPress 5.1, not sure if it has anything to do with it.

Therefore the question is how to get the MCM functionality from the normal media screen also for such popups? * Thread Starter [net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krstarica/) * (@krstarica) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-11382146) * MCM filter drop-down box is still missing in version 1.9.4 when adding media from the post using classic editor. * [aljono](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aljono/) * (@aljono) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-11496341) * I have a similar problem when Adding Media from a Post edit. The drop-down filter simply shows two options:- “Smush: All images”, and “Smush: Bulk ignored”. This started happening when Smush updated to version 3.2.0.x. * However, if I rollback the Smush plugin to version 3.1.1, the problem goes away, and the full list of MCM Categories shows in the drop-down list. * Is the problem with Smush or WP MCM ? * [dgervase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgervase/) * (@dgervase) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-11708515) * Any idea when this is going to be fixed? * I’m not seeing my MCM Categories in any of the places where I insert media. It does seem to be working properly in the Media Library. * I did update admin.css then wp-mcm-plugin.php as instructed. Afterwards I cleared all my cache and it’s still not showing. * WordPress 5.2.2 * Thanks - This reply was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by [dgervase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgervase/). * [yaku78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaku78/) * (@yaku78) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-12070173) * Lo scrivo in italiano che non ho voglia di sbatti per tradurre. Se non compare il filtro dovete modificare come scritto sopra nel file: wp-content/plugins/wp- media-category-management/css/**admin.css** * La stringa finale: * ``` /* Fix display attachment-filters */ .media-frame select.attachment-filters { max-width: 30%; } ``` * E abbassate la percentuale, ad esempio a me è comparso al 27% * Ciao. * [htz77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tzeldin88/) * (@tzeldin88) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-12395932) * Any chance this will be fixed soon? The ability to filter media when inserting images into a post basically is the point of a plugin like this. * Thread Starter [net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krstarica/) * (@krstarica) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-12418357) * Still experiencing the same issue in version 1.9.5. * Looks like the author doesn’t care. * [bhagemann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhagemann/) * (@bhagemann) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-12652781) * Same for me here: the MCM filter was working fine IN the Media Library, but NOT showing up when you ‘Insert Media’ in a page or post. As others have mentioned this is kinda the main point of using it. * The fix from net(@krstarica) above with the 2 code changes worked for me! Thanks, it was driving me nuts thinking it was some plugin conflict. If the author is reading, perhaps you can get this in a quick update before coding to support the Guetenberg blocks feature. * Wordpress 5.4, custom theme. * [bmahaley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bmahaley/) * (@bmahaley) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mcm-filter-drop-down-box-missing/#post-12659395) * Yes. This has been a shortcoming of this plug-in for quite some time. It works well when you are simply perusing all the media you have uploaded and want to filter what you see. However, the time when I think it is needed most is when you want to attach an image to some object on your web page. If the developer would spend a little time adding this to the plug-in, it would be spot-on.
