Hai,
Thanks for the screenshots.
I noticed they look different from my own installation in that the arrow on the dropdown box is a single triangle for me as it is a double triangle in the screenshots.
Do you have any other plugins active?
Can you test with those plugins deactivated as well?
The usual test is to disable all plugins except for the WP MCM and check whether it is working. As long as it works, keep activating another plugin and testing again until it doesn’t work anymore.
As soon as it doesn’t work anymore, the last activated plugin would probably cause the error.

Hai,

Sorry to hear it doesn’t work.

Do you have JS enabled?
What are the settings you are using?
Did you try it with the Regenerate Thumbnail plugin disabled?

Would like to help, but need more background info.

Hai MadBong,

Thanks for both comments.
I do hope you don’t mind me keeping these reviews.
As for most part, I do agree with you.
And I think it takes some courage to write that second review.

Further, if I may react to some functionality you requested:

1. The main purpose of the plugin is to offer filtering based on categories. In my opinion, this use case will be used far more in contrast with adding a category. You often only add a category once and use it tens of times.
2. I do understand that the task of assigning categories (when starting using the plugin) can be a burden. That’s why I added the bulk assignment option. And to be frank, this is indeed the feature I was missing from other plugins and thus the reason this plugin exists in the first place.
3. When you do have a lot of media, you could probably start filtering the media by searching for a keyword. This could limit the number of media shown to only a fraction of the media available. With this subset shown, you should easily be able to select the media you would bulk assign a category to.
4. There is an option to automatically assign a category when uploading a new media file. You can control its use via the Settings page.

Hope this can help solving your problem. If you do have an idea on how to improve the use of this plugin, I’m open for suggestions.

Looking forward to your donation 😉

Best regards,

Hai,

I just uplaoded V1.7.0.
It now returns immediately when the option “Search Media Library” is not set.
Can you test again please?

Hai,

Thanks for the compliments on the plugin.
And I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand the issue as I can’t reproduce it on my system.
Is there any difference in behaviour when you toggle the “Use Post Taxonomy” setting?

Hai Hannah,
As I didn’t hear anything, I assume it is working now.
So I’ll close this issue.
Thanks again.

Hai,
Thanks for using this plugin.
I’m not quite sure what you would like to achieve, but this is the set of arguments I use to filter the attachments:

// Get the posts associated with the media_taxonomy
$attachments_args = array(
	'showposts' => -1,
	'post_type' => 'attachment',
	'post_parent' => null,
	'tax_query' => array(
		    array(
			'taxonomy' => $media_taxonomy,
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => $media_categories
		    )
		),
	);

You can find this in the function “mcm_get_attachment_ids()“. I use this function when processing the WP_MCM shortcode.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jan
