Adding tags to images in WordPress

3 comments

1. see this tutorial http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/applying-categories-tags-and-custom-taxonomies-to-media-attachments–wp-32319 that explains it all very well.

   To use the same tags as your posts you’ll just need to add those lines to your functions.php file:

       function wptp_add_tags_to_attachments() {
           register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'attachment' );
       }
       add_action( 'init' , 'wptp_add_tags_to_attachments' );
   

   After adding those, the tags box will start showing up on your media library items.

   The article also describes how to create custom taxonomy (a separate set of tags / categories) but that’s probably not required for what you’re after.

3. I found an easy solution.

   1. Download the Shiba Media Library plugin at:
      http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/media-library-plus-plugin

   2. Install it.

   3. Download the Admin Menu Editor plugin at:
      http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/

   4. install it.

   5. With the Admin Menu Editor, hide the gallery menu item (added by the Shiba plugin).

   Now I can tag images via the ordinary media library 🙂
