    Hello David,
    I used Enhanced Media Library PRO (ELM). This plugin is not supported anymore… I use the Enfold theme (e.g. av_masonry_gallery) and with the cooperation of the support of EML we managed to get the following to work: a photo/image is uploaded and added to a category (EML calls it a “media_category” is in the example i used the name of lofoten). When I add an other photo or image to that media_category (lofoten) the new added photo is shown in the gallery automaticly. When I delete a photo in this media_category, the photo is not displayed anymore. The used code in the Enfold theme is:
    [av_masonry_gallery media_category=’lofoten’ items=’-1′ columns=’4′ paginate=’pagination’ size=’flex’ orientation=” gap=’large’ overlay_fx=” animation=’active’ container_links=’active’ id=” caption_elements=’excerpt’ caption_styling=” caption_display=’always’ color=” custom_bg=” av-medium-columns=” av-small-columns=” av-mini-columns=” av_uid=’av-2x3x2d’]

    Backend

    Is it possible to change “media_category” to something to obtain the same effect in your plugin? I tried to find the answer in the support forums and in the help documentation, but i did not find a solotion yet that worked for me.
    Thanks in advance and I hope you understand my question.
    Henri

    Thanks for your question and for the details you provided; very helpful.

    You do not state this in your post but I assume you would like to disable and delete the ELM Pro plugin from your site; is that right? If that is true, is the media_category taxonomy and its term assignments the only EML feature you want to retain?

    I do not have access to the Enfold theme and its av_masonry_gallery shortcode. If the shortcode will accept any taxonomy in place of media_category you could replace media_category with the similar attachment_category taxonomy MLA provides. You would, however, have to work out a way to transfer all of your existing media_category term assignments, e.g., lofoten, to the MLA taxonomy. That can be complex.

    If you must or want to retain the media_category taxonomy but delete the EML plugin you must make sure that the existing term assignments are not deleted by the EML deletion process. You will also have to supply a small bit of PHP code to define the taxonomy to WordPress so it will be available after EML is deleted. You can then go to the MLA Settings/Media Library Assistant General tab and add support for media_category so you can display and assign terms, etc.

    If I know more about your application and what you want to do I can give you more specific guidance. I will leave this topic unresolved for now; any additional details you can provide will be helpful. Thanks for your interest in MLA.

    It has been a month since my last post in this topic. I hope the suggestions I made were helpful in updating your application.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the support for custom taxonomies in MLA.
