MB Term Meta

Taxonomy terms usually carry little more than a name and a description. MB Term Meta lets you attach more information to them, such as a featured image, a custom color, an icon, or SEO meta titles and descriptions. It uses the native WordPress term meta API and appears inside the regular admin screens, so editing a term feels familiar.

The plugin uses the same syntax and interface as Meta Box, which helps developers who already know it. It supports Meta Box field types, cloning and validation. That makes it a fit for magazine-style sites with color-coded categories, sites with image-rich tags, or projects with category-specific templates, and it can also help control post visibility by taxonomy.

Features

• Native term meta API: MB Term Meta stores custom field data through the WordPress term meta API, so term data is managed the way WordPress core expects.
• Fields for any taxonomy: Add custom fields to categories, tags or any custom taxonomy terms, giving each term more data than the standard description.
• Familiar Meta Box syntax: It uses the same coding structure and interface as the Meta Box plugin, so developers who already know Meta Box have little new to learn.
• All Meta Box field types: Use the field types Meta Box offers, from text fields and images to checkboxes and cloneable groups, when building term metadata.
• Cloning and validation: Clone fields to hold repeated metadata, and set validation rules so the data saved for taxonomy terms stays consistent and correct.
• WordPress admin interface: Term fields blend into the standard WordPress admin screens, which keeps editing clear for content teams and needs no extra setup.
• Flexible metadata uses: Store term featured images, custom colors, icons, SEO meta titles and descriptions, or category-specific templates, and control post visibility by taxonomy.
• Block bindings for taxonomy fields: Taxonomy fields can be used as a block bindings source, which lets term data feed into blocks in the editor.

Best for

• Developers who already build with the Meta Box plugin
• Magazine and blog sites needing colored or image-rich categories
• Agencies managing custom taxonomies across several client sites
