Adding Categories or Tags to media attachments (images, video, etc)

To enable categories for media attachments (ex: images) add the following to the child theme functions.php:

add-cats-tags-to-media
content_copyfile_download
//This adds categories to media attachments
  function wptp_add_categories_to_attachments() {
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'attachment' );
  }
  add_action( 'init' , 'wptp_add_categories_to_attachments' );
  
// apply tags to attachments
 function wptp_add_tags_to_attachments() {
     register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'attachment' );
 }
 add_action( 'init' , 'wptp_add_tags_to_attachments' );
