WP Taxonomy Manager

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.
• Demo term generator – Create sample terms for development or content planning.
• 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.
