Description

Media Library Categories Premium organizes WordPress media library files into hierarchical categories, adding a custom taxonomy metabox to the media upload and edit screens so you can classify images, videos, and documents by topics, projects, or clients. It is designed for those who accumulate hundreds of files on their site (photographers, agencies, content portals) and need to filter the gallery by category when inserting media into posts, pages, or shortcodes.
