Oops sorry, I meant to say they would be uploading from the front-end.

Hi Brajesh, thanks for looking at this.

1. These are audio files stored in a MediaPress group gallery, set to only display to group members.
2. ‘music’
3. No

I’m off out now, won’t be back till this evening.

Actually, what I did seems to have broken all the security for the site, the bands private audio files started showing up in a lot of listings that the public can see, here’s the code I added, is it wrong?

function wpmt_search_filter($query) {
if ($query->is_search() && $query->is_main_query() || is_archive() )  {
$query->set('post_status', array( 'publish', 'inherit' ));
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'attachment' ) );
}
return $query;
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts','wpmt_search_filter');

One of the reasons why I’d rather not use category as the taxonomy for audio items is that the band already use category for their blobs, so I have to show the category widget in the sidebar and unfortunately adding category to audio items causes them to be displayed to the public, clicking on them allows any not logged in user to be able to play these “group only” files.

Ah, it’s not that simple it seems. I assigned a custom taxonomy to attachments and assigned taxonomy terms to each of the audio files. I have a taxonomy sidebar widget which is displaying the taxonomies but clicking on them just returns a page not found error.

I also assigned the default categories to attachments but whilst the items appear in the categories list, clicking on them just returns a heading of the term with no content.

I think I need a template page to display the attachments (attachments.php or similar) but I’m lost as to what to add into this to display (1) the list of attachment category items, and (2) the single attachment view.
