FAQ
Why should I use the plugin *Meta for Taxonomies*?
If you use WordPress 4.4 or greater you don’t need to.
Otherwise, I think it’s the proper way to store this kind of data. Post thumbnails are stored in post metas, right? So term thumbnails should be stored in term metas.
But it requires a plugin, WordPress does not provide a term metas system before 4.4. On the other hand, I don’t want to force you to use a dependency, so I wanted my plugin to also work without it.
Any plan for a settings page where I can choose the taxonomies?
Nope, it will not happen, imho there is no point to do so.
Other questions?
Eventually, try the WordPress support forum.
ChangeLog
1.3
- 2016/05/30
- The plugin now works with svg files (using svg files require an adequate plugin).
- Improved code docs.
1.2.2
- 2016/05/30
- Fixed a bug that prevented the use of SVG as thumbnail.
1.2.1
- 2016/01/31
- Bugfix in uninstallation process: term metas wouldn’t be deleted with the new WordPress API. Props Ghislain Phu.
1.2
- 2015/11/01
- Ready for WordPress 4.4: the plugin will use the new term metas API and will no longer use Meta for Taxonomies plugin. Developers, be aware that with WP 4.4+ the template tags do not use
term_taxonomy_id
anymore, but term_id
instead.
- Migrate to WordPress 4.4: when the site is updated to WP 4.4, the plugin automatically migrate the old data (stored in an option or by Meta for Taxonomies) to the new term metas table, convert
term_taxonomy_id
s into term_id
s, and delete old data (only the plugin data of course). Then if you used Meta for Taxonomies, it can be uninstalled afterward. Side note: in case Meta for Taxonomies is not updated by then, you should deactivate it BEFORE updating to WordPress 4.4 (it is not compatible with WP 4.4 yet, and will trigger a fatal error).
- New: when an image attachment is trashed or deleted, the related meta is also removed.
- Lots of docs have been added or updated.
- It’s a bit late now but there are new tools to migrate data between option and Meta for Taxonomies. See
inc/migrate.php
.
1.1
- 2015/09/20
- Move the thumbnail column after the term name. Since WP 4.3 there is a concept of primary column: if the thumbnail is not displayed AFTER this primary column (the term name), it will break the row layout on screens < 782px.
- Code cleanup.
1.0
- 2015/06/11
- Initial release.
