How to use separate categories for the WordPress Media Library (and don't use the same categories as in posts & pages)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
By default the WordPress Media Library uses the same categories as WordPress does (such as in posts & pages). If you want to use separate categories you can use a custom taxonomy, this can be set under Settings \u2192 Media (or click on the settings quicklink on the WordPress plugins overview page).<\/p><\/dd>\n
How to use category in the [gallery] shortcode?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
To only show images from one category in the gallery you have to add the '
category<\/code>' attribute to the[gallery]<\/code> shortcode.\nThe value passed to the 'category<\/code>' attribute can be either thecategory slug<\/code> or theterm_id<\/code>, for example with the category slug:<\/p>\n\n[gallery category=\"my-category-slug\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nOr with term_id:<\/p>\n\n
[gallery category=\"14\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nIf you use an incorrect slug by default WordPress shows the images that are attached to the page \/ post that is displayed. If you use an incorrect term_id no images are shown.<\/p>\n\n
Aside from this behavior, the
[gallery]<\/code> shortcode works as it does by default with the built-in shortcode from WordPress (see the WordPress gallery shortcode codex page<\/a>). If you only want to show attachments uploaded to the page and filtered by category than use the 'id<\/code>' in combination with the 'category<\/code>' attribute. For example (the id of the post is 123):<\/p>\n\n[gallery category=\"my-category-slug\" id=\"123\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nOr leave id empty for current page \/ post:<\/p>\n\n
[gallery category=\"my-category-slug\" id=\"\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nIn this example the slug is used, but you could also use the term_id.<\/p><\/dd>\n
