Boots a WordPress instance with this plugin active, the Category taxonomy pre-configured as radio buttons, and seeded posts you can edit in the Block Editor or run through Quick Edit / Bulk Edit immediately.
Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Taxonomy_Single_Term" rel="nofollow ugc">Taxonomy_Single_Term</a>, a library created by <a href="http://webdevstudios.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WebDevStudios</a>, it made my work much easier on creating this plugin.
With Categories Metabox Enhanced, you can:
<ul>
<li>Change the built-in Categories metabox/panel to a single term UI, which means replacing the checkboxes with radio buttons or a select drop-down.</li>
<li>Apply the single term UI to other hierarchical taxonomies from the plugin’s Settings page.</li>
<li>Configure each hierarchical taxonomy independently — the same install can keep one taxonomy as checkboxes while another is forced to radio.</li>
<li>Customize the single term UI by setting these options:
<ul>
<li>Option type (checkbox, radio, or select).</li>
<li>Priority and position (context) of the metabox placement. Classic editor only.</li>
<li>Title of the metabox / Block Editor panel.</li>
<li>Whether child-terms should be indented.</li>
<li>Whether adding new terms from the metabox is enabled.</li>
<li>Whether a term selection is required (Force selection). When on, the classic metabox hides the “None” option, the Block Editor sidebar drops the “— Select —” entry once a term is chosen, and an empty save is substituted with a default term server-side so REST and programmatic callers can’t bypass it.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
The single-term invariant is enforced everywhere posts can be saved: the Classic Editor metabox, the Block Editor sidebar panel, Quick Edit, Bulk Edit, the REST API, WP-CLI, and any code that calls <code>wp_set_object_terms()</code> directly. The classic-editor and Block Editor surfaces enforce in the UI; everything else is enforced on the server via the <code>set_object_terms</code> action, which coerces multi-term submissions to the last term and substitutes the default term on empty submissions when Force selection is on.
The substituted default term resolves in this order: the <code>default_<taxonomy></code> option (e.g. <code>default_category</code>) → the <code>default_term_<taxonomy></code> option populated by <code>register_taxonomy()</code> <code>default_term</code> arg (WP 5.5+) → the first term ordered by name. Override per taxonomy with the <code>of_cme_force_selection_default_term</code> filter.
The Block Editor sidebar panel is rendered for taxonomies registered with <code>show_in_rest = true</code>. Hierarchical taxonomies that opt out of REST fall back to the Classic Editor metabox path.

Categories Metabox Enhanced

Replace the checkboxes with radio buttons or a select drop-down in the built-in Categories metabox and the Block Editor sidebar panel.

This is a tool for developers who want to turbo-charge their custom post type listings with metadata, taxonomies, and more. An intuitive interface for adding (and saving) complex filtersets is provided, along with a drag-and-drop interface for choosing and ordering columns to be displayed. Metaboxes are also automatically generated for all your metadata-entry needs.
<ul>
<li>Add columns to the post listing view</li>
<li>Filter post listings by custom criteria</li>
<li>Easily add metaboxes to custom post types</li>
<li>Automatically add registered taxonomies to post listings</li>
<li>Sort by post metadata</li>
</ul>

Advanced Post Manager

This plugin doesn't do anything. It says you have to install it and then get a developer to write some code to make it work. That means this isn't a plugin, it's just a useless piece of code. The plugin repository should only be for plugins that actually add some functionality to your WordPress website. This "plugin" is just taking up space and confusing people. Did the developers just get bored and decided not to finish their plugin? It should be removed from the plugin repository!

Should Be Removed

Turbo charge your posts admin for any custom post type with sortable filters and columns, and auto-registration of metaboxes.
