## Description

By default, WordPress doesn’t allow for categorising attachments – just posts. This
plugin adds a category selection field to the attachment management interface.

## Installation

 1. Upload the extracted plugin folder and contained files to your `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory – you should have a folder /wp-content/plugins/attachment-categories/
    with the file attachment-categories.php in it
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
