In WordPress,Categories are by default associated with Posts. According to documentation, each Post must be assigned to a Category. If one isn't purposely chosen, a default Category is assigned. This default Category can be set in the Settings Tab under Writing. Other Plugins like '''''Media Library Categories''''' makes the same Categories used with Posts available under the Media Tab and as a Widget on the Edit Media administration page. Another Plugin, '''''Add Categories to Pages''','' adds that same capability to the Pages Tab and as a Widget on the administration page for Pages. | In WordPress,Categories are by default associated with Posts.

The following plugins allow management or display of categories | ||
*'''''Add Category to Pages''''' | |||
*'''''Media Library Categories''''' | |||
* '''''Add Category to Pages''''' | *'''''Add Categories to Pages''''' | ||
* '''''Media Library Categories''''' | *'''List Categories, List Category Posts & GUI for List Category Posts''': Each of these Plugins displays Category Information about Posts, but so far haven't figured out how to make them do Images or Pages that are in Categories | ||
* '''''Add Categories to Pages''''' | *'''Display Posts''': This one allows for displaying Categories for Posts, Pages, and other custom fields (post, page, revision, attachment (AKA image or media), te_announcements). Post status can be publish, pending, draft, auto-draft, future, private, inherit, trash, any. It also appears to be case sensitive so use lower case. Wildcards (*) don't work. Categories can be found in the wp_terms Database Table. Documentation is here: https://displayposts.com/docs/parameters/#display-parameters In testing it seems to work fine for Media and Images, but for specialty plugins like Timeline Express that maintains separate categories, it doesn't work quite right. | ||
