Description

The Term Meta add-on adds custom fields to WordPress taxonomy terms, allowing you to store metadata in categories, tags, and custom taxonomies using the same syntax and interface as Meta Box. In practice, this add-on extends editorial control over images, colors, icons, templates, and term descriptions while maintaining the familiar workflow for developers who already configure meta boxes on posts.

Key Features

  • Fields in Taxonomies
    Add custom metadata to categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.
  • Native API
    Uses WordPress’s native term meta API.
  • Meta Box Syntax
    Allows you to declare fields using the same pattern as posts.
  • Administrative Interface
    Displays fields within WordPress’s native term screens.
  • Field Types
    Supports Meta Box fields, including cloning and validation.

Term Meta Benefits

  • More Data Per Term
    Enriches categories and tags without creating parallel structures.
  • Familiar Workflow
    Reduces adaptation for teams already using Meta Box.
  • Organized Admin Panel
    Keeps taxonomy fields in WordPress’s standard panel.
  • Flexible Layouts
    Facilitates the use of images, colors, and icons in the front-end.

Who Is It For?

  • WordPress developers who create custom taxonomies with custom metadata.
  • Agencies that structure editorial sites, catalogs, directories, and content portals.
  • Projects that already use Meta Box and need to extend data to categories and tags.

Term Meta fits projects where terms need to carry information beyond the standard name, slug, and description. The add-on maintains Meta Box’s logic, leverages resources already familiar to developers, and allows building richer front-end experiences without altering WordPress’s core contracts.
