That’s so awesome! Thanks, Kelly, you rock!

Thanks!

I ended up using FileBird, which accomplishes the task, has been kept up to date and has a nice custom UI.

It’s possible. The enhanced media library plugin allows for it. The issue is that it hasn’t been updated in 11 months and their pro site keeps going in and out, so I don’t trust that they are a source of a stable plugin. And, so far, I haven’t seen other media category plugins that accomplish this.

That is correct, I’m looking for a filter in the area you’ve shown in the screenshot.

No, I’m creating a category labeled “featured images”, so that our content creators can sort the image library and reuse previously created featured images for future articles. In the past, they’ve created multiples of the same photo because they couldn’t find the image they were looking for in our library.

I’m also setting categories for other purposes, but since we specifically crop the featured images at a certain ratio for design purposes, it needs to be a category our content creators can reference.

That note about moving the taxonomy to another post type was to indicate that CPT UI was, in fact, being used to generate the categories on the post and not another plugin generating the categories as you indicated:

My guess is some sort of plugin to add the taxonomy support, and if so, the best place for support would be the plugin author there. However, I’m willing to be wrong if that’s the case ??

function cptui_register_my_taxes_media_categories() {

	/**
	 * Taxonomy: Media Categories.
	 */

	$labels = array(
		"name" => __( "Media Categories", "southern-living-plants" ),
		"singular_name" => __( "Media Category", "southern-living-plants" ),
	);

	$args = array(
		"label" => __( "Media Categories", "southern-living-plants" ),
		"labels" => $labels,
		"public" => true,
		"publicly_queryable" => true,
		"hierarchical" => true,
		"show_ui" => true,
		"show_in_menu" => true,
		"show_in_nav_menus" => true,
		"query_var" => true,
		"rewrite" => array( 'slug' => 'media_categories', 'with_front' => true, ),
		"show_admin_column" => false,
		"show_in_rest" => true,
		"rest_base" => "media_categories",
		"rest_controller_class" => "WP_REST_Terms_Controller",
		"show_in_quick_edit" => false,
		);
	register_taxonomy( "media_categories", array( "attachment" ), $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_taxes_media_categories' );

I’m using CPT UI. I created a taxonomy called media_categories, then checked the box to apply the taxonomy to the Media Library.

I then added categories to my media. I can see the link in my sidebar under the media that says, “Media Categories” and when I click on it, I can manage those categories.

There are checkboxes on each media item that allow me to select parent and child categories. And, when I edit the Media Categories Tax in CPT UI and turn it off media and put it on another post type, the Media Categories link in my menu disappears.

Ben, I’ve been monitoring this thread to look for a fix and noticed that in a previous post on here, there was sort of a fix posted.

It seems the problem stems from the NavWalker options in the header.php file in the child theme.

Use this in the navwalker option:

'walker' => new understrap_WP_Bootstrap_Navwalker(),

That should bring back everything that follows the menu, including the container wrapper.

I’m getting the same error.

I’ve created a new user that has API_FULL_ACCESS and I’ve made the appropriate changes to the settings portion to reflect the new user. Any further suggestions?

Yes, it is broken.

After you create the new user. Go into the users profile, generate a password, copy the password and send via email. The notification process appears to be broken thus far.

You can send a password by generating one in the new user account and saving. You’ll have to send via email {which completely negates this whole extra security process}

This new feature is broken though.

Nevermind, we figured it out.
