Media Category Library 1.6

The Lowdown:

.5mg memory

I was asked to find something that made searching a large media library easier. I thought this might help but it only has some limited functions. while it does add some new setting and makes editing easier it does not do much to add to the search function and as we know that is one thing WordPress is lacking.

Rating 2 Dragons

 

Media Library Assistant 1.30

The Lowdown:

3mg memory

Ok well I continued my search and found this plugin, you can add additional categories to sort images and you can do a search via alt tag, slug and caption fields and if you like even by ID. You can also map IPTC and EXIF data if you like it add a quick edit and more.. I think this is a great plugin for those of you who have large media library and are regularly searching for that right image you know you already have uploaded.

Rating 4 Dragons

 

Social Login 4.4

The Lowdown:

.5 mg memory

This plugin is used by One all for social logins for your WordPress site and it is also used to allow your visitors to add comments without filling out the forms.. It seems to work quite nicely but does need some configuration. You will need to choose your social networks and then register on several of them. They do provide some great details on how to create all the apps you need with each social network . I found it pretty easy to get all setup but did take some time to complete.

Rating 4 Dragons.
