Taxonomy Note

Taxonomy Note allows you to add a customizable “note” input field for every taxonomy term assigned to a post.

When a post type/taxonomy pair is enabled in the settings, a dedicated meta box will appear in the post editor showing all assigned terms, each with its own note field.

This is ideal for:

• Recipes (ingredients with quantity or notes)

• Products (attributes with additional info)

• Events (tags with remarks)

• Editorial workflows (categories with comments)

• Any situation where a taxonomy term needs extra per-post context

Notes are stored per post, not globally — so each post can have different notes for the same term.

🧩 Key Features

• Admin Setup Panel – Choose which post types and taxonomies should show the note panel.

• Per-Post Notes – Each post can store different notes for the same taxonomy term.

• Automatic Cleanup – If a term is removed from the post, its note disappears from the panel.

• Lightweight & Non-Intrusive – Pure WordPress; no JS frameworks required.

• Perfect for Recipes – Works beautifully if an AI or script extracts “ingredients” and you need to add quantities manually.

• Compatible With Any Theme or Builder – Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, and others.

Usage

• Edit any post type where you enabled the plugin.

• Assign one or more taxonomy terms as usual.

• A new “Notes” meta box will appear for each selected taxonomy.

• Enter any custom text next to each assigned term.

• Save the post — notes will be stored automatically.

Notes are saved only for terms currently assigned to the post.
