    I want a photo website only but I need to be able to sort/filter all of them by things like date, location, type, etc. Is this possible? Can I choose my own sirt/filter categories? How do I do it?

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    If you’re speaking of published photos on the site, you can add tags and categories to the posts, not the images themselves, and filter the posts based on those, as well as based on publication date. See:

    If you mean in the media library itself, then no. We don’t support custom folders in the media library. Photos are ordered based on the date you upload them to the library, and you can search in the library based on the filename, and optional title and description you can add to images when you upload them, but there’s no way to filter the media library to only view images on a specific topic.
