Beaten

…first, great plugin. Thanks for the effort.

I found a Plugin with a Taxonomy that has got the functionality of List Categories beaten. It is the Category feature of the Go Gallery Plugin which adds a Taxonomy to Media Attachments.

The Taxonomy (in the WordPress Term_Taxonomy Table) it adds is: attachment_category, with a title of: Media Categories. Slug names / Terms are similar to other WordPress items in that they follow the WhatEver-WhatEver naming convention with dashes instead of spaces.

Everything I looked at in the database seems similar to other Plugins that add Taxonomy items to WordPress, so I couldn’t find anything that really stood out as causing the problem.

The only oddity I found is this: The GUI Admin Page of the Go Gallery Category for Media Items / Attachments Plugin has a column that shows the number of items assigned to that Taxonomy. It will not show any Media Items (AKA Attachments) assigned to it until that item is also assigned to a Page, Post, etc. (IE, uploaded to or attached). IE, it is not enough to simply assign the Category / Taxonomy to a Media Attachment. That Media Attachment also needs to be assigned as an uploaded / attached item of a Page, Post, etc.

I use the Go Gallery Media Categories in conjunction with Wicked Folders (which can utilize the Taxonomy Go Gallery provides) to automatically sort files. The Go Gallery itself has a Carousel and Gallery that utilize the Taxonomy it provides to display images in different Categories.

Anyway, this is not a complaint or something that is malfunctioning in your plugin, but just something really odd about how Go Gallery handles the entire Taxonomy thing. Maybe it would be worthwhile to add a workaround into your code and maybe my above hint will provide the clue. Just a thought on improving your plugin. Or maybe Go Gallery should fix the way they handle Taxonomies. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help in providing a solution. And thanks again for your plugin.
