Dear Support,

How are you? I hope you can help me with the following questions:

Is it possible with Toolset to add Image categories to an existing WordPress Image Library, so I can put the Images in 1 categorie per Image?
[Example: category cars, products, colors].

Kind regards,
Peter

Hello Peter and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well, Media library files are managed by WordPress as a default custom post type "Media" with slug "attachment". You can assign any taxonomy to it. Go to Toolset->Post Types, locate the "Media" post type, hover over it, and click on edit. Then you can choose the taxonomies that you want to assign to it in the "Taxonomies to be used with" section.

However, I wonder why would you like to use taxonomies for the media files? Can you provide more details? Maybe there would be a better way!
