Configuration: All plugin optionsEnhanced Media Library

You can approach media settings in two ways:

1. By visiting Settings > Media.
2. By clicking Media Settings on Plugins admin page next to the plugin’s name.

You’ll see four tabs on it.

1. General tab contains all media settings WordPress has by default. Enhanced Media Library does not add anything on this tab. Other tabs provide additional options for the media library.

1. Media Library tab contains options affecting the entire library.
2. Media Items Order options affect all media screens of WordPress: media library grid and list modes, popup windows of the post / page / custom post type editor. To obtain an ability to re-order media items by drag and drop just choose Custom Order. Custom order is also used for galleries based on a particular category or tag.
3. Media Shortcodes options allow to turn on WordPress native gallery and  playlist enhanced shortcodes. The option is unset by default. So, if you wish your shortcodes to understand new parameters – media taxonomies (see Taxonomy Name), upload date and number limit for media items displayed – please activate it here.

1. Media Taxonomies tab allows you to manage everything about your media taxonomies.
2. First section Media Taxonomies is equipped to create, edit, delete, and assign media taxonomies to the media library. By default it has a taxonomy called Media Categories. This taxonomy can be used as an example or a real tool to categorize your media files.
3. The checkbox next to the taxonomy name means that the taxonomy is assigned to media library, and you can categorize your media files by its terms. If the checkbox is NOT set, then you will NOT see that taxonomy in your admin. You can temporarily unassign your taxonomies from media library. All your data will remain intact, you will see it when assigning the taxonomy again.
4. Edit button opens all taxonomy settings for editing.
5. "Minus" button removes a taxonomy from the list. The plugin shows a warning message prior to the taxonomy deletion. Taxonomy data will not be removed from the database, and if over some time you create a taxonomy with the same name all data will be available again.

1. So, let’s click Edit and we’ll see all taxonomy settings available. The left column represents taxonomy labels. The labels are required for WordPress admin. When you work with a taxonomy WordPress has to communicate with you: Create new Media Category, Show all Media Categories, and so on. All possible variations that WordPress may require for such communication are in the left column.
2. Now let’s look at the right column.

1. To create a new taxonomy just click Add New Taxonomy button. Start filling in to Labels fields with the first two Singular and Plural, the plugin will fill in to other fields automatically. Don’t forget to set all right column options, they can differ per taxonomy.

1. Sometimes there are media taxonomies created by other plugins, a theme, or hand coded. All of them will be shown in Media Taxonomies section with limited options. You will not be allowed to delete them with Enhanced Media Library. To change their options dramatically or delete them refer to the plugin / code which creates them.

1. Non-Media Taxonomies section is even simpler.  It shows all non-media taxonomies created by other plugins, a theme, or hand-coded.
2. You can assign those taxonomies to media library with the checkbox near the taxonomy name, and adjust their settings which differ per taxonomy as well.
3. PRO: Synchronization with the parent post categories on upload is a feature available for the PRO version only.

1. Options section contains settings common for all taxonomies assigned to media library.

1. PRO: Bulk Edit section allows to adjust your bulk editing process. Just choose what is more convenient to you.

1. MIME Types tab helps you to manage MIME Types. The list initially demonstrates WordPress original MIME type settings. If you do not change anything, WordPress will treat file types as usual.
2. You can edit MIME types or add a new one clicking Add New MIME Type. You can see a new row at the top of the table.
3. You can also delete MIME types with the "minus" button.
4. With the Restore WordPress default MIME Types button you can restore initial WordPress MIME types settings. 
5. Add Filter checkbox enhances WordPress All media items filter with a MIME type. For example, Enhanced Media Library adds PDF (application/pdf) MIME type on installation. If you have any PDF in your media library, you’ll start to see PDF as an option of the All media items filter.
6. Use Allow Upload checkbox to include a MIME type into the list of allowed MIME types. Please be careful, wrong files of some types can harm your site.
7. Singular Label and Plural Label columns allow to point the labels for your MIME type. For example, PDF needs here its singular and plural form labels – PDF and PDFs – to be shown for you by WordPress admin. You may like to call it differently, for example Document and Documents. It’s just labels, do whatever you want.

For now, that’s all. We are working hard to add new features to the plugin. Stay tuned!
