Attachment Taxonomies is a WordPress plugin designed to improve the organization of your media library by introducing two new taxonomies: categories and tags. This allows users to categorize and tag their attachments independently from the default post taxonomies. The plugin also provides filter dropdowns in the media toolbar, enabling a more efficient selection process while adding or editing attachments. Additionally, users can set a default attachment category, enhancing overall usability.

This lightweight plugin adheres to WordPress Core principles, ensuring a straightforward experience without unnecessary complexity. Developers will appreciate its flexible API, which allows for easy customization, including the addition or removal of attachment taxonomies. The enhanced [gallery] shortcode also supports the automatic inclusion of images based on specific attachment taxonomies, making it a valuable tool for managing media effectively.
