<p>It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag.</p>
<p>It can optionally allow new terms to be added directly from the post editing UI, while still letting you keep this disabled by default.</p>

<li>Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list</li>
<li>No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms</li>
<li>Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between default (200px max), full, and custom (px)</li>

Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes


What a great plugin - searched for ages to find this, but does exactly what it needs to do. You do need to go into the settings and show the system tags to enable it (I think it would be better if I had to turn that off rather than on as that's what I wanted the plugin for).



Great example of an annoying WP UI problem solved by a great plugin.


Works perfectly!


I have some sites that just want to select tags from an existing list, and this is perfect for that!
