   orderby="title" order="DESC"]`
 * closest thing I can find to category id is 1059
 * and I do not have media settings taxonimies for some reason. I created 1 taxonimy
   when I installed called colors. But there is nothing else. there are no settings
   to enable shortcode etc.
 * All Im getting is a blank page.

 * actually I found the settings. But the images are not showing up? I even tried
   regenerating thumbnails. And can it paginate? And lastly is is possible to filter
   by taxonomy within a category?

 * Hello [@boionfire81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boionfire81/),
 * Take a look at the first screenshot here [https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/screenshots/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-media-library/screenshots/)`
   Media Settings > Taxonomies` is a menu item (in yellow).
 * From your description I assume that your created media category “Colors” and 
   its ID is 1059. So, use `[gallery media_category="1059"]`.
 * To “enable” shortcode with WP admin UI you have to use PRO version of the plugin.
   The free version allows taxonomy based gallery with manually written shortcode
   only.
 * Best,
    -Nadia

 * No, with the pro you don’t need to write shortcode manually in admin.
 * With both free and pro you can show taxonomy based gallery on the front-end.
 * Front-end filters are not available in any version of the plugin. You can try
   the plugin “Search & Filter” for the front-end filtering. It’s compatible.

 * Hello,
 * I was looking to buy the PRO version, as I like the bulk update feature, but 
   I have exactly the same problem as boionfire81.
 * I created a media category called Quality. It has an ID of 257. I loaded two 
   PDF documents and allocated them to the Quality category. I switched on the Enhanced
   Media Shortcodes tickbox from Media Settings > Taxonomies and saved it. I reset
   my permalinks. I switched off the archive page.
 * I created a blank page and simply added the shortcode – [gallery media_category
   ="257"]. However, it displays a blank page.
 * Can you help please?
 * Thanks, Jim

 * Hello [@weepingtiger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/weepingtiger/),
 * Our policy is to help all users regardless of the version (free or PRO) they 
   use. So you are welcome whether you are going to buy PRO version or not!
 * WordPress does not support PDF galleries and Enhanced Media Library does not 
   either at the moment. Only images can be shown as a gallery right now.
 * We received a LOT of requests to implement the feature. It has high priority 
   in out TODO. We will implement it as soon as possible.
 * Best,
    -Nadia

   Nadia.
