How do I upload many photos at once into a wordpress category? WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I have over 100 photos for different annual categories - 2009, 2010, 2011 etc?
What plugin can I use or how can I upload them so that they are differentiated by the category when I want to use them in an album?
At the moment, when I upload they are all dumped into the Media Library and then I have to find a way to go back and bulk assign the a category individually?
Thanks
Tim

It's update regularly and does exactly what you are after.

I'm using it but it doesn't have the ability to upload into the category. Only reassign after upload.
Thoughts?

Ya...Categories, as I know, them are for posts. I believe you can 'bulk edit' the images though and add them many to one 'image' category all at once.

Also....
The default setting in WP is to upload into a 'yearly' folder, unless you've changed it.

Morning Doug:
Not sure if the question is answered for this specific plugin. I'll still stick with MLA if you think it is the best.
I have the WP Media Settings >> Uploading files to month/year folders turned off.
But is there a way to upload all into that specific category or only reassign after upload? yes/no
Doug Montgomery comments:
Unless there is a plugin that I don't know about that creates categories for the media library then MLA is the way to go.

Thanks Doug. I'll consider it resolved and keep at it with MLA.
