Shiba Media Library is now updated for 3.0. It was tested on WordPress 3.0 and 2.9+.
If you are using WordPress 3.0, the plugin will now use the new custom post type feature to create and manage gallery objects. In particular, you will get a new Gallery menu to view and modify gallery objects.
All your previous gallery objects should still work seamlessly in the new update, but you will now have the option to set gallery status to draft, in-review, or published.
[Full description of the Shiba Media Library Plugin]
The Media Library plugin also provides many examples on how to use and modify WordPress custom post types. If you are interested in using WordPress custom post types in you own themes and plugins, these tutorials may also be useful –
- Add Custom Post Type Columns
- Add a Metabox to Your Custom Post Type Screen
- Modify Custom Post Type Icons
Additional controls for detaching and attaching images are now more fully integrated into the standard WordPress Media Library screen.
You can set your gallery permalink structure by going into Settings >> Permalinks.

OMG guys!!!
You’ve just saved my butt with this amazing plugin…
It works flawlessly, just install and you’re ready to rock and roll
Thank you so much for an amazing product!!!
hey shiba,
i installed the plugin for only one reason – to unattache picture from certain posts or sites and to exclude them by this way automaticly from the gallery. but the plugin is a little to big for this one task and i don’t need the little box over the files. can you write just a plugin with a simple button to unattach pictures in the media library or post the source code here and i’ll try it on my own – no experience.
best regards#fred
I think there are other plugins that do just the detach link. Do a search on the WordPress extends directory – I saw one like that before but don’t remember the name.
i searched a week now – no results.
File Gallery isn’t working. galleryhack 1.2 does also not the job.
somebody wrote a code for reattaching: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/detach-amp-re-attach-media-attachment-images-from-posts?replies=21 but i found no solution for deattaching via google. you are probably the only person on earth who created a plugin that does the job.
regards
Detaching is actually just a special case of re-attaching where you are assigning the post_parent to null instead of a chosen post ID.
The relevant code is in the file shiba-library-menu.php. It starts at line 140 where it deals with the remove action.
Thanks so much for your Sheba Media Library plugin!!! It did exactly what I needed it to do and worked flawlessly as soon as I installed it. Now how many things work out that well these days?! Fantastic work.
Thanks Dale. Let me know if you have feature suggestions or encounter any bugs so that I can continue to improve it. 😀
