 * Hi, thanks for this plugin, it’s great!
 * I have bumped into an issue, I hope you can help, I’ve been trying to use your
   shortcode without success.
 * I am displaying a few galleries in the buddypress profile header, and I am using
   template tags / shortcode in the template file. Here it is:
 *     ```
       <?php $displayed_user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();//run the shortcode
       echo do_shortcode( "[mpp-list-gallery search_terms=featured component=members component_id={$displayed_user_id}]");?>
       ```
   
 * I’ve set a couple of functions so that users can’t create galleries, or delete
   them, when they upload from the wall, they
 * I am auto-creating a couple of galleries for each user, call them ‘featured videos’
   and ‘featured photos’.
 * When users post audio, video or photos to their walls, a gallery will be created
   for each, so I will end up with 5 galleries potentially.
 * I want to allow audio upload, but not pull that one gallery out for display in
   my template file with the shortcode, leaving me with just 5 featured galleries
   on my template file. So how do I exclude the audio wall gallery with my shortcode?
 * Nothing I try seems to work. Is there an ‘exclude’? I tried using search_terms
   to choose only video and photo for instance, but I must be making an error with
   formatting, because all items appear, I’m assuming because I’m rendering the 
   code obsolete with an error. Can you give me an example of how to search for 
   a few different items in search_terms so I can check what I’m doing? Or a way
   to exclude?
 * Many thanks 🙂

 * hi,
    Thank you for using the plugin.
 * You can use the type parameter like
 * type=’photo,video’
 * That should filter our the audio.
 * Please do let me know if that works or not?
 * Thank you

 * Hi thanks for this, I switched audio off at the settings meanwhile and can’t 
   seem to get it back on again to test it, I’ve saved, deleted cache etc, and audio
   remains off – have you come across that before?

 * Also, I can see that using type has brought galleries belonging to all users 
   into my display rather than just the current user profile. I need to display 
   galleries from only that user, whose page I’m viewing.
    Thank you

 * Also I have just been going through all of the features, I have disabled featured
   thumbnail covers for image galleries, so that it uses an image in the gallery.
 * What are the options for display as the cover of a video gallery please?
    Thank
   you

   the same issue?
