Overview

Settings are used to control the taxonomies that are available to Attachments in the Media Library

By default, Media Library Organizer provides the Media Categories Taxonomy.

With the Taxonomy Manager, you can choose to define additional Taxonomies – for example, you might have a Location Taxonomy and assign Attachments based on their location.

In the WordPress Administration interface, click on Media Library Organizer > Settings
