# Plugin not working when inserting category gallery

 * I’ve been using WP Gallery Custom Links for a while a love it. Works like it 
   should. But I recently needed a bit more functionality and got the Enhanced Media
   Library to easily add media_categories and because it works with the [gallery]
   shortcodes. Here’s my problem. media_categories work beautifully, easy to add
   sorted galleries in, but if I add the media_categories to the [gallery] shortcode,
   my custom links do not work. Custom Links says that as long as you’re working
   within the WP [gallery] this shouldn’t be an issue. Help, maybe there’s an easy
   answer I’m not seeing. Example: LINKS DO NOT WORK: [gallery media_category="94"
   size="medium"] LINKS WORK: [gallery size="medium" ids="1659"]

 * Hi [@ashleysands](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashleysands/),
 * I am an author of the Enhanced Media Library.
 * WP Gallery Custom Links description states that the plugin is not supported anymore.
   But I installed it and tested with Enhanced Media Library. They work very well
   together, no problem with the custom links at all. My test shortcode is `[gallery
   orderby="date" order="DESC" media_category="4"]`. Please try to deactivate all
   other plugins, leave active just these two, and check what happens.
 * Another thing: we are going to add custom links for galleries to Enhanced Media
   Library. But I can’t say when exactly the feature should be expected.
 * Best,
    -Nadia

 * I’ve also been unable to replicate the issue. Ashley, if you want me to take 
   a look at your setup and see if I can fix things drop me an email at [mailjohng@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-when-inserting-category-gallery/mailjohng@gmail.com?output_format=md)
   and we can work out how I can log on to your wordpress and check it out.
