The purpose of this Media Library Plugin is to facilitate the manipulation and grouping of images within the existing WordPress image library framework.
[Most recent Shiba Media Library updates]
Jan 7th 2013 – Release 3.6
- Updated for 3.5.
- Plugin gallery objects now use the id list system introduced in WordPress 3.5. Use the new media manager interface to upload and attach images to gallery objects.
- Fixed quick edit functions.
- Updated deprecated media functions.
- Encapsulated the plugin options page within an object class.
- Fixed gallery and attachment tag links in tag-metabox.
- Added an attachment_link filter so that %category% gallery-permalinks translate properly.
- Properly redirect bulk operations and delete permanently operation in the Edit Gallery screen.
When creating permalink structures, care must to taken to ensure that the new structure does not override existing post, page, category, and tag permalinks.
Key Features of the Shiba Media Library Plugin
- Enables image tagging and allows you to group images into galleries by using their tags. Images can also to added manually using the regular media manager interface.
- In addition to images/attachments, galleries may also contain posts and other galleries. In this way, you group not only images, but also posts, galleries, and any combination of these object types. Here are some fun things you can achieve with expanded galleries.
- Freely order images, posts, and pages within a gallery.
- Gallery objects get saved into your WordPress export files. This allows you to keep a backup of your gallery objects, as well as move them from blog to blog.
- Expanded search that allows you to find attachments and galleries based on titles, tags, and categories.
- View most-used tags for post, attachment, and gallery objects.
- Quick Edit image attachments.
- Adds a new drop-down menu to your existing WordPress Media Library. This menu will allow you to do bulk attachments to both attached and non-attached images.
- Detach a set of images from their post so that they revert back to their unattached state.

The Power of Galleries and Tags
Gallery objects are stored in the regular WordPress post database. In this way, you get to leverage almost all existing functions that are available for WordPress post objects including displaying your galleries using the WordPress gallery shortcode.
Here are three example galleries created using tags. Galleries are rendered using the WordPress Gallery shortcode and the Shiba Gallery Plugin.
Galleries created with the Shiba Media Library Plugin should also work with other plugins that support the WordPress gallery shortcode.
Three example galleries constructed with image tags.
This entire plugin operates within the current WordPress Media Library framework so any tag changes will automatically be reflected in your WordPress gallery shortcode results.
If you want to extract images with particular tags using PHP, just include the tags in your WordPress get_posts command.
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'tag' => 'tag-a,tag-b,tag-c' ); $attachments = get_posts( $args );
Why Can’t I Use Tags in the Gallery Shortcode?
The Shiba Media Library addresses the media library back-end and sets up tag links in the WordPress database. I.e., there is a link in the database saying that a particular image is linked to a given tag.
For tags to work in the gallery shortcode, it must also be supported on the gallery front-end – i.e., by the plugin that renders your images. The Shiba Gallery plugin, for example, supports image tags.
However, most gallery rendering plugins do not yet support this extension because it is currently not part of the native WordPress gallery shortcode and is therefore not a standard.
Shiba Media Library Future Additions
- Include ability to manually find and add posts or galleries using the new media manager interface.

Hey! I just downloaded v 3.6 and installed on WordPress 3.5.1. I love the way you have everything set up. It’s -much- better than any of the other media library plugins I’ve found.
I’m just wondering—is there any way I can use tags from custom taxonomies I’ve already created? I’m creating a portfolio with three different sections (case studies, videos, and an image gallery) which are to be using the same set of tags. So it doesn’t really work for me to use the Shiba-specific Attachment Tags (which I imagine would otherwise provide me the functionality I need).
If there is any way for me to rig this up, that would be amazing.
The plugin uses the standard WP ‘post_tag’. Possibly you could replace all instances of ‘post_tag’ with your own taxonomy, but I am not sure if that will cause other issues.
I have been testing the media library plugin a bit more.
There’s one bug: if you try to delete a large number of pictures from the media library, your pluging provokes an “URL TOO LONG” error.
The same number of pics, deleted without your plugin get deleted without a problem.
easy to test: set media library to show 100 attachments, select them all, select bulk action “delete” and you got the error.
Second thing (it’s not an error, just annoying, and WP has exactly the same problem):
if I upload a few hundred pictures and select a tag before clicking on “insert into post” the tag is only applied to the last uploaded picture. I have to return to the media library, and select all uploaded pics, apply the tag and then, finally, all my attachments have the tag.
It would be nice to apply all the settings to all the selected attachments in one go. But I guess you just use the core procedure from WP there.
Thanks for the bug report. I will look into it.
As for categories, there may be other plugins that support it, or feel free to modify the plugin to better suit your purposes.
I tried shiba-media-library, and it does what it promised, it works great.
But it’s completely useless for me. My blogs are based on categories, not tags. My Table of Contents page is category based, people search and find articles based on categories, when they navigate around, they stay in the category of their interest, etc, etc. Tags are only used by flickr and technorati and are in reality completely useless when it comes to helping users find what they are looking for.
What I am looking for is
- a way to see only attachments that belong to one category in the media library
- a way to “bulk” add my existing pictures to a category
- a way to “bulk” add all pictures I upload to a post via Media Library to the same category as my post
I hoped to be able to do all that with shiba-media-library, but now it turns out that I can’t do anything of that at all unless I start using tags.
Nevertheless, I guess I am not the only one who has well structured blogs based on categories. So my question is: is it somehow possible to have your nice shiba-media-library with just one difference: not using tags but categories?
First off please note I am running wordpress on windows 2008.
So I am having a problem. When the Shiba Media Gallery plug in is activated. And I attempt to Attach Images to a page. WordPress throws a
404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

It looks like a problem with the server not interpreting the ‘%2F’ encoded url slashes.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9206835/2f-in-url-breaks-and-does-not-reference-to-the-php-file-required
Turn off Shiba Media Library, and test the attach images operation in the same way. Does it work?
If it does, go into the file shiba-mlib-permalink.php and comment out line 28 -
// add_filter( ‘attachment_link’, array($this,’attachment_link’), 10, 2);
Test to see if it works.
If not, then I can take a look on a test site on your server.
Awesome,
Why you didn’t add this plugin to wordpress.org plugins directory ?
few quickies
- is there a way to display the tags below the images?
- trying to use it with ‘gallery carousel without jetpack’ for fullscreen carousel, but doesnt seem to work. is it a known issue?
thanks in advance
I just tested the ‘gallery carousel without jetpack’ plugin on my test site and it seems to work fine with Shiba Media Library. Try disabling Shiba Media Library, and then just test the carousel out on a regular gallery to see if it works. There may be a conflict with something else.
As for displaying tags, that would depend on the front-end gallery that does the rendering, i.e. ‘gallery carousel without jetpack’. You would need to extract the tags and then add that into the rendering of the gallery.
Shiba Media Library just deals with the back-end stuff.
I’m currently running WordPress version 3.3.2 with Shiba Media Library 3.3 installed.
My site is designed to display ticket stubs by year. Each year has a page, and all images of stubs for that year are attached to the page. The page then displays the gallery for that page.
I’ve recently decided that I want to allow for another form of navigation that allows users to view the images by opponent, as well.
So what I’ve done is created one Gallery for each opponent, and attached a single Tag to each gallery (i.e. one gallery called “Auburn” with a single tag attached to it called “auburn”
I then created a page that links to each of the galleries, so when I open the Auburn Gallery, I can see all tickets where Tech played Auburn.
So it seems to be working OK, but I’ve found one problem…when I update the gallery, it changes the Menu Order property on my tickets on the pages that they are actually attached to. So let’s say that Auburn was the fifth game of the 1950 season…if I update the Auburn Gallery, and then go to the 1950 season, the menu order for that Auburn ticket will have changed, and it now displays out of order.
To get around this I’ve simply been creating the Galleries first and then just tagging the images after…this seems to keep the problem from occurring. However, I’d like to go back and add notes, descriptions, etc. to the galleries after the fact without having to worry about the images being displayed out of order on their base page.
Is there something that I can do to get around this? Please feel free to e-mail me at the address above.
Thanks!
Brad
OK, so I did a bit more reading and found where you specified that only one ID can be stored.
Is there a way that I can modify the code to not update the Order ID in the database?
I think I’m going to update all of my image ID’s with an intelligent Order ID (i.e. the date of the game). Then no matter what gallery it displays in it will be in the correct order.
Hello Brad,
The easiest way to change ordering attributes is to do it on the gallery shortcode itself – using the orderby attribute.
If you are using Shiba Gallery on the frontend then you can use orderby=”shiba_menu_order” to get multiple orderings.
If you want to change the ordering code, it is in shiba-mlib-add.php.
I’m not sure what the difference is between orderby=”shiba_menu_order” and orderby=”menu_order”
Does it do something different?
The difference is described here-
http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/shiba-media-library-3-3
Orderby can also be used with post_date, titles, etc-
http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode#Options
So I’ve found the code where you’re updating the menu_order in the mySQL database:
function update_media_menu_order($media_items) {
global $wpdb;
$i = 1;
foreach ($media_items as $item) {
$query = $wpdb->prepare(“UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET menu_order = %d WHERE ID = %d”, $i, $item);
$wpdb->query($query);
$i++;
}
}
What I’d like to do is comment this out to preserve the original menu order of my images. If I do this, will the shiba_menu_order still be updated by dragging and dropping the images in the gallery edit window?
i.e. will it break anything else?
shiba_menu_order is stored differently so it shouldn’t affect that. I don’t think it will break anything else, but it is not something I have tested for, so I cannot say for sure.
I would try it out on a test site first, and see how it goes.
First of all, thank you for this great plugin…it is exactly what I have been looking for. I do have few questions (apologies if you already answered these, but I looked through the previous comments and could not find an answer):
1. Since installing the media library plugin, my images are no longer inserted into the post code with a title tag. Do you know how to include this?
2. I want to make a gallery of galleries with your gallery plugin, but I can not figure out how to populate it. Any explanation is appreciated!
Thank you!
Hmmm, not sure what you mean here. Do you mean when you click on the Add Media button in the Edit Post screen and then insert an image, something is missing from the inserted html? If you could give me a concrete example, e.g. this html was generated before, and this other html was generated after that would be helpful.
Create each gallery as a Gallery object. Tag each gallery object you want to include with the same tag. Then just create a parent gallery object with that same tag, and click on “Only Galleries” in the Edit Gallery screen. The radio button for “Only Galleries” is right under the title of the gallery.
If you are using Shiba Gallery Plugin you can also include the relevant gallery ids in the ids list or include the relevant gallery category. E.g.
Thank you for your fast reply! I will try the gallery of galleries with your notes. As for the image titles -
It used to insert:
Now it inserts:
Sorry..the code disappeared when I published my comment. I left off the opening and closing < to see if it would publish.
used to be -
Ok, I will look into it but it may take some time. Got a lot on my task list right now.
Hello Kate,
This appears to be a WordPress 3.5 change and is not plugin related.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-add-image-title-after-35-update
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18984
Thank you for looking into this. I suppose I did update to WP 3.5 and install your plugin on the same day!
As for the gallery of galleries..it worked perfectly, thank you!
You are very welcome. Good luck with your site!
Hello,
Nice plugin, however it took me 20 min to find the download link on the page. The idea of the image with a link in it is very very weird.
Thanks Michael. I have removed the background image and made the links more prominent.
I suggest adding an attachment tag filter to the media library interface. That would be very useful as it is with the Media Tags plugin.
You can do a tag search by using the search box at the very top of the media screen. There is a drop-down menu to the right of it that allows you to search based on title or tags.
Hi,
I have installed and activated Shiba Media Library plugin 3.4.5 on a WP 3.4.2, and no detach option can be found in the Media Library, either in the dropdown menu of Bulk Actions or elsewhere. What might be wrong? (A couple of other gallery plugins sit in the Plugins directory, but none are activated.)
Thank you.
When you go the the Media >> Library screen, is there a section up top labelled Shiba Media Library? If so, the drop down menu in that top section should have the detach options.
Otherwise, I would switch to a default theme, turn on debugging options, and see what errors come up.
My mistake, I did not realize there is another “Bulk action” drop down menu at the top.
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. Detachment works great.
Unfortunately, now it is attachment that stopped working, because the URL length exceeds the server’s limit.
Somehow the URLs setting up the attachment grew huge (almost 10,000 character long) after activating the plugin, as they seem to contain all current attachments as variables, for some reason.
Is this normal behavior and the server limit is at fault?
No, that should not happen.
I just tested things on my test server and could not replicate what you describe.
Some things to try on a *test site* -
1. Turn off the plugin and then try attaching the same image using the standard “Attach” link.
2. Turn on the plugin and then try attaching an image using the “Attach” link.
I would try this on a default theme with no other plugin activated.
Hi, great job! It’s exactly what I was looking for.
I have a quick question, how can I load the gallery in different template of page that is different from my blog structure because layout and structure must be different.
Thanks!!!
Gallery is a custom post type, so one possibility is to copy the template you want into single-gallery.php. This may also be theme dependent.

Cheers, it’s work, was easy
I’m having an issue on a client site. The tags column is no longer showing in the media library. The capability of adding/setting tags is there, but I can’t see the tags in the library display.
I am using codepress admin columns and I added some additional columns to the display; that worked in conjunction with yours a few days ago but (since 3.4.1 upgrade?) I can’t get the tags to show any more. I tried deactivating and reactivating shiba media library, but that did not help.
Any ideas?
I figured out the answer. It was my own fault, nothing wrong with the plugin. I had neglected to add up all my percentages when I added columns to the display, and the tags column was just getting pushed off the screen because I had well over 100% allocated. Duh. Sorry to bother you.
Hi
I too have the “cheatin’ uh” error when adding images to Shiba galleries since upgrading to WP 3.4 (and now 3.4.1.
This happens with Twenty Eleven, as well as Studiopress Genesis (parent) and BeeCrafty (child) themes.
It would seem to be a conflict between SML and the latest WP – is there a fix?
Thanks
K
Since the last WordPress update (3.4) I won’t be able to add new images to a gallery. Via the dashboard I open the gallery and use the ‘Add New’ button to add a new image, but when clicked I get an error which prompt me I’m cheating? The Dutch error shows ‘Vals aan het spelen?’ which means ‘Are you cheating?’. I’ve added a new WordPress user (with admin rights), but that doen’t seems to matter.
Screenshot of the error: http://cl.ly/HS5W
Problem is solved. I use the Themeforest Core WordPress theme, and the maker of that theme has provided a fix for this. Thanks anyway.
Hi!
I have the same error! But I can’t solve it. Could you tell me how do you did for solve? Because I have theme of Themforest also, the theme is Rhea, maybe is the same solve for this error. I’m gratefull in advanced, your comments.
A lot of thanks and I look forward your reply!
Hey, have a look at this fix!

Tried to install your media-library-plus cause cannot find anything really useful to order the content of a wp gallery.
But after install and activate the plugin, an error 500 appears (solved when I remove the plugin folder).
These are the logs.

Any lack of files? any comment?
Dear Fonsito,
The problem is your theme is already using an *older version* of shiba-media-library.
If you want to test the plugin, switch to the default TwentyTen or TwentyEleven theme, and reinstall the plugin.
Shiba is conflicting with NextGen gallery. The plugin was included with a theme and it’s limitations require the use of NextGen gallery. The issue is caused by the $this->helper->admin_init(); line in the shiba-media-library.php file on line 182. If I comment it out then NextGen works but then I can no longer add images to the Shiba galleries. I hope since Shiba contains fewer lines of code that it will not be to hard to fix this issue. I await your reply. Thank you very much.
Hello Tom,
I would not advise using both Shiba Media and NextGen together. Both plugins expand on the native media library and does similar things. Structurally, creating some galleries in Shiba Media and others in NextGen would be messy. Programmatically, the two plugins operate in the same space, but each go in a different direction. As a result, there will likely be many conflicts in many places.
The helper admin_init function loads many of the elements in Shiba Media, thus disabling that pretty much nullifies most of the plugin.
Probably the cleanest way to fix this issue is to get the theme creator or hire someone to adapt the theme to work on NextGen.
Just the plugin I was looking for, after my client attached all the images to posts, stopping them getting picked up by some custom functionality I added.
)
Many thanks. Saved me time manually updating the d/b.
I respect what you did here. A gallery with custom post types is something I’m after for some time now, and it seems like nobody have every outdone you. I’m having some difficulties however.
1. First when I click on the thumbnails they do not work. Only the first picture is displayed as main and cannot be changed. I’ve tried changing the slider type, but with no avail.
2. Permalink structure does not work. I’ve tried adding at: Gallery Structure: %gallery% . Then I tried to open site.com/gallery/gallery-name instead of the site.com/?gallery=gallery-name and it only redirectects me to site.com/?gallery=gallery-name again. Maybe it has something to do with my WordPress MultiSite installation.
Can you help me with these?
1. I am not sure what you mean. Is there a page that I can look at? What do you mean by “slider type”?
2. Try “/gallery/%gallery%”. It does not allow just %gallery% because that would result in a permalink conflict.
1. http://goo.gl/H4GBf
Here is a gallery page created, but it doesn’t work. When you click on the thumbnails nothing happens.
2. “/gallery/%gallery%” did the job! That’s perfect, thanks!
I’ve tried changing most of the gallery types (tiny is what I’m after, but it loads only a list of thumbnails, doesn’t even look like the one you have displayed) noobslide, galleria… and none of them loads fine. Is it some javascript problem? Maybe the plugin can’t access the js files or something?
I’m sorry for replying for the third time (you can delete my other posts) but now I’ve discovered that it is theme related. I’ve changed to the default one and it loads fine.
Do you have any recomendations on how should I include the galleries into my theme?
Thanks
I fixed it. All I needed to do is add before to enable the hooks for the javascript files. Sorry for the fourth posting, but this is the solution to my problems.
So if your gallery doesn’t display as it should in your theme, this is the solution folks. Now back to work
Sorry for double posting, but I forgot to write the error message: Fatal error: Call to a member function admin_init() on a non-object in /home/mozte175/public_html/clientes/tiosam/wp-content/plugins/shiba-media-library/shiba-media-library.php on line 182
Hi, I’m facing the same error message as Blondie1122 when trying to upload a picture in NextGEN Gallery.
I believe that the NextGEN gallery has its own image album (i.e. gallery) handling functions, so I would just use that.
I’m having the same problem. The theme I am using uses Shiba, but I want to use NextGen for my photo galleries. There appears to be a conflict
I applied a small fix to the shiba-media-library.php file by changing around line #183 from: $this->helper->admin_init(); and changed it to:
$vyep = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];;
if ($vyep =="/wp-admin/post.php" OR $vyep =="/wp-admin/post-new.php" ){
$this->helper->admin_init();
}
hi! I really like the plugin, but I have one question. If I have re-ordered images within the gallery (and the gallery is based on a tag), the gallery displays perfectly with the [gallery] shortcode.
However, when I drill in to view an image, the next/previous links are totally wrong. They seem almost random, or they have some relationship to when the images were uploaded. I am using the previous_image_link() and next_image_link() in my single image php page. What am I doing wrong? Help! Thanks!
Are you including the image into multiple different galleries?
In native WordPress, there is a one-to-one relationship between an image and its parent. This means that when using native WordPress commands, e.g. previous_image_link() and next_image_link(), only the last image position will be saved. I describe it in greater detail here-

I purchased a theme for wordpress for a Realtor. The plug-in that feeds the newest homes for sale is having this issue with the media library.
Fatal error: Call to a member function init_admin() on a non-object in /home/content/18/6640618/html/wp-content/themes/Hermes/plugins/shiba-media-library/shiba-media-library.php on line 163
ANy idea how to fix. No one seems to have an answer and I can’t rebuild the whole site. Thanks!
Hmmm, the only thing that jumps up at me is that the plugins directory seem to be underneath the themes directory, which may cause some problems. However, it is difficult to say without doing onsite testing.
Where’s the address for this in the WordPress.org repository? Thanks!
Currently, this plugin is not on WordPress.org.
Just so you’d know – When listing the images currently attached to a certain gallery you check for the existence of “edit-attachment-rows.php”, and if it exists you assume the site is running WP 3.1 or bellow.
On some occasions (Normally due to an inexperienced develpoer) the site might become a mush of several WP editions and so you might end up running a version that’s higher than 3.1 but still have that file.
Perhaps you might find a more reliable way to determine what version the site is using?
