Description
Media Tags is a great plugin that allows you to add
tags to your media – something that should come out of the box. However, the Media Tagz Gallery takes it to
another level by adding the ability to pull in your photos by tag names to create a simple, yet flexible way to
create a gallery. No need for bloated image gallery plugins that just become outdated over time.
