Media is generally “attached” to Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types, etc. All these types of posts can be associated with taxonomies and terms. This plugin allows you to filter media which is attached to any type of post by the taxonomies and terms related to those posts. Plugin inspired by [answer on StackExchange](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/126873). **Limitation** The filters are only available when viewing your Media Library in [“list” mode, not “grid” mode](https://res.cloudinary.com/dpq5gf23t/image/upload/v1699630258/Plugins/list-mode_mobdn5.png). [View screenshot for more explanation](https://res.cloudinary.com/dpq5gf23t/image/upload/v1699630258/Plugins/list-mode_mobdn5.png). ## Screenshots * [[ * Screenshot of the taxonomy and term filters on the Media Library page. ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1.
