Yes KingComposer free version.
Here is the code I’m using now:

[mla_gallery orderby=date order=asc posts_per_page=10 post_mime_type=application/pdf post_parent=all tax_relation=AND attachment_tag="{+request:a_tag+}" attachment_category="{+request:a_category+}" link=file mla_target="_blank" mla_caption="Title:{+title+} Author: {+caption+}
{+description+}" columns=1 mla_nolink_text="No Results Found.. Please note that prior to 1967, not every year has 12 issues - " mla_markup="persarchives" my_gallery_title=" Archives Articles for {+request:a_category+} {+request:a_tag+}" ]

The issue here is that right now it pulls up every single pdf in the media library no matter if it is one of the ones I want or not. I tried to figure out how to exclude any either by having a special tag, or being in a particular category but I could not figure out how to do it. Also, I have a javascript running to respon to the selection of items, and I’m not sure if that is where I need to put those limiting filters or not. My brain can’t keep up too well with this as I did it about a year ago and having to come back to it and figure it out again uses quite a few analytical skills.

ok the code [mla_gallery post_parent=all posts_per_page=1] does work. So on the other code I think it is trying to pull in way too much at one time.

Hah! It works with the addition of posts_per_page=10

Thank you very much for your time.

By the way, while we are on the subject, the files are all pdf files, they show a thumbnail. Is there a way to designate a default thumb for them?

I’ve increased php memory to 512 and wp define to 512, but it is just hanging. I did have a title on the page but no bar at the top to “edit”. I’m trying to figure out how to determine what this is and how much it could possibly need. This happened after I did some updates not too long ago. I have disabled wordfence as a possible leaker.
Not sure where else to go with this.
