    Hi there,

    The plug-in is great, thanks! I’ve been assigning categories and tags to my documents but the WordPress category links (for instance, in the Categories widget in the sidebar) are not working. Each category results in a “Nothing Found” page displayed.

    Can you let me know how to configure the Memphis Document Library to allow those Category and Tag links to work and return a list of Documents with those categories or tags?

    Thanks,

    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,

    I asked about this about a year ago. Unfortunately the answer I got was negative. Here is the thread:

    Display files by category

    Hi bhaldie,

    Now that the plugin is calling folders “folders” instead of “categories”, is it posssible to display all files by their WP category? E.g. display all files in Category 1 below:

    Folder1> Document 1 (Category1) -> displayed
    Document 2 (Category1) -> displayed
    Document 3 (Category2) -> not displayed
    Folder2> Document 4 (Category1) -> displayed

    Can you suggest how to do this?
    Peter

    Hi,
    It occured to me that this could be an elegant way to create a virtual file classification system, whereby files could belong to different categories (even multiple) and could therefore be displayed in different ways (or pages) by controlling their categories, without having to duplicate the files across various file folders?

    I think you could kill more than one bird (feature request) with this one stone.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. It seems strange then that the plugin allows you to assign one or more Categories to a particular Document. Do you know the purpose of that?

    Thanks again,

    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,

    I did manage to make it work in a fashion, by using a callout widget which creates a display on a page of all posts in a given category. So if I assign a category “Public” to a document, the widget can be made to show docs with this category on a page that is accessible to the public. It’s something that comes with my Nexusthemes theme. I have also played around with a plugin called List Category Posts – you could try it https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/list-category-posts/
    I use Ultimate Member plugin to ceate roles and restrict file acess to specific users with those roles. BTW I don’t mean to be promoting all these products, I get no commissions and can’t recommend any of them.

    It takes a bit of work…
    Good luck!
    Peter
