About this plugin
Supports adding one or more taxonomies (either hierarchical or tag) to any objects registered on your installation just by giving them a name and some options on the admin screens.
It then creates the taxonomy for you linking them to your post types.
4.
Optionally you can set values to ease administering your posts, such as:
– Requiring posts to have a minimum and/or maximum number of terms attached.
g. whilst draft or only when published)
When the maximum is set to one taxonomy, the checkbox list will be converted to a set of radio icons
– To define support within WPGraphQL
– Adding taxonomy filters to their post admin screens
– Define which post_statuses contribute to taxonomy counts.
– Where there are multiple taxonomies to define their display column order.
These optional functions can be applied to any taxonomy, not just the taxonomies defined by the plugin.
Blocks supporting taxonomies are available (also as shortcode or widget):
– Taxonomy cloud or list
– List of terms attached to a post
A number of support tools are available for managing your taxonomies:
– Export or Import the configuration.
– Export a taxonomy definition in PHP format so that it can be included directly in your code.
– Rename a taxonomy slug updating the internal references (terms and usages) to the new slug.
– Create terms for a taxonomy by entering them into a list.
– Creating that list by copying terms from an existing taxonomy.
– Merge terms together – updating their usages to be the merged term.
Again the term manipulation tool applies to terms of any taxonomy.
Additional information on plugin usage is available in the help pulldown area of the screens.
For full information go to the Simple Taxonomy Refreshed documentation.
To try the plugin without installing it, open the demo site in WordPress Playground. It runs in your browser, with example taxonomies, posts and blocks already set up.
Migration Notice
From Simple Taxonomy
It is a drop-in replacement for the now withdrawn Simple Taxonomy – using the same options table entry.
If this is installed, deactivate it first.
However since this plugin uses the Simple Taxonomy options data to save setting it up again completely if you wish to revert, before deactivating you can use the Simple Taxonomy export function to take a copy of your data.
NB. The Export/Import functions are not compatible between plugins. So you need to use the file made with its version of the plugin.
To have the Taxonomy metaboxes available in the Block Editor, ensure that “show_in_rest” has been set to true.
When migrating and before an update to the existing parameters, the taxonomy will treat “show_in_rest” as true. If not wanted, set to false.
