Adds the ability to categorize media. Should be part of WordPress core; not sure why it is not yet.
I was very satisfied with this plugin for years. It did exactly what I needed.
This is the first time I leave a one-star review, but I have no choice.
I purchased a lifetime PRO license. Now it’s useless. No support, no updates, official site down.
Admin access crashed because of the plugin.
I am very pleased with this plug-in, and have used it for several years now. It is very powerful, especially if you design your taxonomy well. I have never needed support because things were not working, but I have contacted them several times to help me figure out a problem or to suggest an improvement. Each time I received a very quick reply and have been given excellent and comprehensive attention. They clearly know their stuff and I cannot recommend this plugin enough.
I have been using the PRO version of the plug-in for 3 years. Because I have a lot of media and have to sort them in some way, I find the plugin extremely helpful and so far without any problems. Now there was a problem after a new update, but the support was super fast and super nice, THANK YOU! I am very satisfied and can only recommend it.
