Prerequisites and Setup
- Any Media Library Organizer Pro license
- Auto Categorization Enabled and Setup
Overview
Existing images in the Media Library can be automatically categorized in bulk.
This is useful if:
- You are installing Media Library Organizer Pro on an existing WordPress web site, where images already exist in the Media Library,
- You have made a change to the Minimum Confidence level, and want to re-categorize images that may have been previously automatically categorized by Auto Categorization.
To bulk (re)categorize existing Images, click on Media in the WordPress Administration menu.
List View
If you are viewing uploads in the list view (i.e. a table similar to how Pages and Posts are displayed in the WordPress Administration interface):
- Tick the checkboxes beside the images that you wish to select
- Click the Bulk Actions dropdown
- Choose the Auto Categorize option
- Click the Apply button
An on screen progress bar will be displayed, updating as each image is categorized.
Each image will also have its Media Categories updated, if auto categorization was successful.
Any errors during the process will be displayed
Grid View
If you are viewing uploads in the grid view:
- Click the Bulk Select button
- Click the image(s) that you wish to auto categorize
- Click the Auto Categorize button
An on screen progress bar will be displayed, updating as each image is categorized.
Any errors during the process will be displayed
Common Issues
Images not being categorized
- Confirm that an Authorization Code has been specified on the Settings screen
- Confirm that the Minimum Confidence score is not too high, as this will reduce the number of categories detected for an image
- If you are on a non-web accessible host (for example, localhost, 127.0.0.1 or a .dev domain), it’s not possible to Auto Categorize images.
