CMB2 Taxonomy

CMB2 Taxonomy will create metaboxes and forms with custom fields for your taxonomies using the CMB2 API (and yes, it will blow your mind too).

<p>When you have a lot of metaboxes in the post/page edit screen, you end up scrolling which is confusing. Metaboxes<br />
represent a group of fields like Address, or Ingredients, etc. Imagine you are creating a deep CV for a person.<br />
Suddently you have <code>Addresses</code>, <code>Contacts</code>, <code>Profile</code>, <code>Education</code>, <code>Skills</code>, <code>Languages</code>, etc. But as you can see<br />
    Addresses, <code>Contacts</code>, <code>Profile</code> can be categorized as `Personal Data.</p>
<p>This plugin lets you group metaboxes by anything, just name each metabox as <code>Tab / Box name</code>. So the<br />
    Addresses metabox should be named as <code>Personal Data / Addresses</code> and it will be grouped with <code>Personal Data / Contact</code><br />
under <code>Personal Data</code> tab.</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Both <code>Tab / Box name</code> and <code>Tab/Box name</code> or <code>Tab/ Box name</code> work</li>
<li>Built-in metaboxes are ignored (they usually sit in the sidebar and are needed all the time)</li>
<li>Although tested on 3.2, it should work since 2.5</li>
<li>Javascript enabled is required</li>
</ul>
