Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin lets you swap the auto-complete / search style interface for a checkbox list, without changing any underlying data.

It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag.

It can optionally allow new terms to be added directly from the post editing UI, while still letting you keep this disabled by default.

Features

  • Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list
  • No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms
  • Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between default (200px max), full, and custom (px)
  • Optional inline add control for new terms, enabled per taxonomy
  • Optional link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxonomy}” style link
  • Optional per-taxonomy search box with Off, Always, and Min Terms modes
  • Customization via filters
