<p>Many WordPress installs suffer from cramming hundreds or thousands of varied taxonomy terms in to a limited number of ill-suited, all-purpose taxonomies (eg. the default “categories” and “tags”).</p>
<p>These are better off split in to dedicated taxonomies. For example, storing “Bill Gates” and “Microsoft” terms in “tags” is not optimal, because one is a <em>person</em> whilst the other is a <em>company</em>.</p>
<p>There is no straightforward way to split up existing taxonomies more granularly in this way, except for  labour-intensive and manual, technical effort. So, many WordPress installs continue to suffer from not having created granular taxonomies intentionally at the outset.</p>
<p>Term Tidier tidies up messy taxonomies like these automatically. It uses natural language processing and knowledge graph technology to determine the real <a href="https://gcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/google/cloud/language/entity.html#EntityType" rel="nofollow ugc">entity type</a> of existing terms, then re-assigns them each to a more appropriate, alternative taxonomy.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>Term Tidier uses Google Cloud’s Natural Language Processing features via API calls.</p>
<p>Users set a “source taxonomy”, the taxonomy they want to be tidied up.</p>
<p>For each term within that taxonomy, Term Tidier calls Google Cloud to examine the term name, aiming to return a determination as to its true “entity”.</p>
<p>The plugin receives one of eight “entity” type determinations from Google Cloud – UNKNOWN, PERSON, LOCATION, ORGANIZATION, EVENT, WORK_OF_ART, CONSUMER_GOOD or OTHER.</p>
<p>For each entity type, users specify a target taxonomy to which a matching term will be moved. For example, you can map all terms found to be a “LOCATION” to your own “Places” taxonomy, if it exists.</p>
<p>For each term in the source taxonomy, if a particular entity was determined, Term Tidier moves the term to your corresponding taxonomy.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Use Term Tidier from the WordPress Tools menu (Tools > Context Term Tidier).</p>
<p>The plugin page confirms your settings as set in Settings, displaying the taxonomy and terms which will be examined.</p>
<p>Click the “Tidy Terms” button to execute the operation.</p>
<p>Term Tidier will cycle through each term, seeking an “entity” determination and re-assigning any terms possible.</p>

<p>Advanced Taxonomy Manager provides an enhanced interface for managing every WordPress taxonomy from one place. Organize categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy with an intuitive, drag-and-drop hierarchy editor that goes well beyond the standard WordPress term screens.</p>
<p>Switch between four ways of viewing your terms — a dense Compact List, cascading Columns, spacious Cards, or a Tree diagram — and reorganize them by drag and drop, including reordering and re-nesting with a live “where will this land” hint.</p>
<p>It is completely free and works with all of your public taxonomies.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>All Taxonomies</strong> – Manage categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy from a single editor</li>
<li><strong>Four Term Views</strong> – Switch between Compact List, Columns (Miller), Cards, and Tree layouts, and set your preferred default</li>
<li><strong>Drag to Reorder & Re-nest</strong> – Drag a term to reorder it among its siblings or drag sideways to nest it under another term (or outdent it), with a live placement note showing exactly where it will land</li>
<li><strong>Bulk Actions</strong> – Multi-select terms to Move them under a new parent, Merge several terms into one, or Delete in bulk</li>
<li><strong>Manual Ordering</strong> – Set a custom term order in the editor and optionally apply that order across the front end of your site</li>
<li><strong>Search Everywhere</strong> – Filter and find terms instantly in every view</li>
<li><strong>AI-Powered Descriptions</strong> – Optionally generate term descriptions with your own OpenAI API key, and choose which model to use</li>

<li><strong>Native Categories Integration</strong> – The Posts > Categories menu opens directly into the manager, with a link back to the classic WordPress screen any time</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin offers an optional integration with the OpenAI API for generating term descriptions:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does</strong>: When enabled and configured with an API key, the plugin can generate descriptive text for your terms using OpenAI’s language models.</li>
<li><strong>When data is sent</strong>: Data is only sent to OpenAI when you explicitly click the “Generate Description” button in the term editor, or when you click “Validate Key” in the settings to check your API key.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent</strong>: The plugin sends the term name and a customizable prompt to OpenAI’s servers. Validating a key sends a request to OpenAI authenticated with that key.</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service</strong>: <a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenAI Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy</strong>: <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenAI Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This feature is completely optional and requires you to provide your own OpenAI API key in the plugin settings. No data is sent to OpenAI unless you explicitly initiate the description generation or key validation.</p>
