    I'm not finding anything on wordpress.org. What is the purpose of these additional tags & categories and how are they used?

    thx

    Sorry, that's not what I'm asking. I understand tags and categories. I can't find any information on what att. tags and att. categories are, and where they are used.

    thx

    They appeared as an option when I activated the Media Library Assistant plug in. I can see some reference to the terms in WordPress.org, but nothing about what they actually ARE.

    They attach to media files, not posts or pages.

    In which case, they are from the plugin, and I imagine they are taxonomies specifically for organising your attachments, just as you would use standard categories and tags for posts.
