Опис
WP Taxonomy Manager brings taxonomy setup, term maintenance, and CSV transfers into one WordPress admin workspace. Work with categories, tags, WooCommerce product taxonomies, and custom taxonomies that your account can manage.
Free features
- CSV term export – Download term names, slugs, descriptions, parent slugs, and custom links from a selected taxonomy.
- Export preview – Review the selected terms in the admin before downloading a file.
- Export filters – Narrow exports by empty state, name, parent, or term count.
- CSV term import – Create new terms from CSV and skip existing names or slugs; resolve parent slugs against terms already present in the taxonomy.
- Visual column mapping – Match source CSV columns to import fields and ignore columns you do not need.
- Custom taxonomy builder – Register hierarchical or non-hierarchical taxonomies and attach them to selected post types without code.
- Term creation – Add terms from the plugin workspace, including an AJAX form for quick creation.
- All Terms workspace – Browse, edit, and delete terms from one admin area, with bulk deletion for selected terms.
- Inline mass editor – Search and page through terms, then update names and slugs in place.
- Custom term links – Point a term to an internal or external HTTP(S) URL through the term form or a CSV column.
- Term redirects – Record same-site archive URL changes and redirect old 404 URLs to the current term URL. Merged terms also redirect to the surviving term; admins can review and remove rules. Requires path-based permalinks.
- Unused term cleanup – Preview terms with no content relationships or children, delete up to 50 selected terms after confirmation, and restore them from cleanup history with new IDs.
- Demo term generator – Create sample terms for development or content planning.
- Keyword auto tagging – Assign existing taxonomy terms to published posts when configured keywords match.
- User CSV transfer – Export users by role, then import new accounts or update existing users’ profile details. Exports include password hashes and should be stored securely.
- Dashboard and settings – View activity counts and adjust the plugin’s available options.
CSV fields
The Free term CSV uses a required ‘name’ field and supports ‘slug’, ‘description’, ‘parent_slug’, and ‘custom_link’. A parent slug must match an existing term when that row is imported. Import accepts .csv or .txt files with CSV content.
Pro features
Pro features require an eligible license or trial.
- Advanced CSV Import – Preview row-level errors and warnings, check hierarchy, and choose create-only, update-only, or combined imports. Apply prepared rows in bounded background batches, resume paused jobs, and download row-level error reports.
- Import presets – Save per-user column mappings and choose which mapped fields may update existing terms.
- XLSX and JSON transfers – Import and export taxonomy terms in Excel and JSON formats.
- Term images – Add or replace Media Library images on term screens, import images from public URLs, include image URLs in CSV exports, and display images with a shortcode.
- Term ordering – Drag terms into a custom order and optionally apply that order to frontend term queries.
- Duplicate term management – Find normalized-name duplicates and read-only similar-spelling or initials suggestions, inspect merge impact, merge with confirmation, and restore from the audit history. Successful merges can also create a redirect from the removed term’s old archive URL.
- Scheduled remote CSV sync – Import a bounded remote CSV on a schedule with optional Basic or Bearer authentication and a recent-run log; requires Action Scheduler.
- Custom term fields – Define text, color, image, select, and URL fields and display saved values with a shortcode.
- Term Meta Transfer – Preview, export, and import registered scalar metadata for existing terms. Supported ACF taxonomy fields require active ACF and the ACF Term Fields add-on.
- Term Maintenance – Preview bulk term-field changes or copy and move terms between compatible taxonomies, with bounded batches and a conflict-aware restore window.
- AI auto tagging – Suggest existing taxonomy terms through any configured WordPress AI Client text provider. Requires WordPress 7.0 or later and a provider API key; WooCommerce is not required.
- WooCommerce term visuals – Show brand logos and global attribute color or image swatches when WooCommerce is active.
Who can use it?
WP Taxonomy Manager is useful for site administrators moving term data between sites, content teams maintaining large term libraries, developers creating taxonomies, and WooCommerce stores organizing product terms.

Часті питання
-
Which taxonomies are supported?
-
Built-in categories and tags, plus custom taxonomies registered by a theme or plugin, including WooCommerce product taxonomies when WooCommerce is active. Your account must have permission to manage the selected taxonomy.
-
Can I import terms with parent-child relationships?
-
Yes. Include a parent_slug column. In the Free importer, the parent term must already exist when its child row is processed. Pro Advanced Import also checks hierarchy during preview.
-
Does this work with large CSV files?
-
CSV imports are subject to the upload, memory, and execution limits configured on your WordPress server. Pro Advanced Import enforces its configured file-size and row limits, processes prepared rows in bounded background batches, and can resume paused or stalled jobs within the job lifetime. Resume is best effort if a process stops between a term write and its saved progress.
-
Can I import and export taxonomy term images?
-
Yes, with Pro. Add an
image_sourcecolumn containing a public HTTP or HTTPS image URL. Import downloads the image into the WordPress Media Library and generates attachment metadata. Export can include the resulting Media Library source URL. WooCommerce product category thumbnails are supported. -
Can a taxonomy term link to a custom page or external website?
-
Yes. Enter a Custom Link while adding or editing any taxonomy term, or supply a
custom_linkCSV column. WordPress-generated term links then use that HTTP(S) URL. The feature can be disabled without deleting saved links from WP Taxonomy Manager Settings. -
What happens to a term’s old URL after I change its slug or merge it?
-
With path-based permalinks, the plugin records the old same-site archive path when a term URL changes. Pro merges also record a path from the removed term to the surviving term. The old path receives a 301 redirect only if it would otherwise return a 404. Review or remove saved rules under WP Taxonomy > Term Redirects. Deleting a term without merging it does not create a redirect because there is no chosen destination. Plain query-string permalinks are not supported by this redirect feature.
-
Open WP Taxonomy > Unused Terms, select a taxonomy, and review the candidates. The scan checks 500 terms per page; you can confirm deletion of up to 50 selected terms at a time. Terms with any content relationship (including drafts), child terms, default-term IDs, or custom links are excluded. Cleanup history can recreate deleted terms with their metadata, but restored terms receive new IDs. A term cannot be restored if its old slug has been taken by another term.
-
Does the duplicate finder merge similar names automatically?
-
No. Pro Duplicate Terms shows normalized-name matches plus read-only suggestions for similar spelling or shared initials, such as WordPress and WP. Open the impact preview to review relationships, child terms, and metadata, then explicitly confirm any merge. A successful merge can add a redirect for the removed term’s old archive path when path-based permalinks are in use.
-
Can I create a custom taxonomy without writing code?
-
Yes. Use the Register Taxonomy page to create, name, and attach a taxonomy to any post type directly from the admin UI.
