badger41 on "[Plugin: Media Library Assistant] Automatically adding the author as a category"

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick response, and sorry that I haven't replied sooner (I've been snowed under with other jobs). Just to clarify what I'm trying to do:

I'm allowing multiple users to upload pictures, and I'm using JIG to automatically display the entire media library and then filter_by authors. I know JIG doesn't currently support author filtering (although it works really well with filtering by category), so I'm trying to combine the functionality of your plugin with JIG.

Here's the JIG shortcode I'm currently using:

[justified_image_grid ids=* height_deviation=200 filterby=category filter_style=buttons filter_orderby=title_asc load_more=hybrid load_more_mobile=click exclude=965,966,968,901,897,896,884,883,878,830,921,1048,1049,1053]

As you can see I'm currently using "filterby=category" and adding categories 'back of house', but this is not quite the automated solution I'm looking for.

Could I either A) combine the functionality of both galleries (with regards to filtering), or B) get Media Library Assistant to automatically force a category onto the image that matches the author name?
