<p>FSM Backend Category Organizer allows you to group and organize the categories (or any other user-created hierarchical taxonomy) on the post editing page, making it easier to sort through them in environments where there is a large number of categories.</p>
<h4>The limitations of WordPress in assigning categories</h4>
<p>By default, the WordPress category assignment box shows the categories in a list format only. This method can cause usability problems in environments with a lot of categories, especially when the users must scroll down a lot to see all of them.</p>
<p>Additionally, it’s impossible to check at a glance all the categories that have already been assigned, due to the small dimensions of the box.</p>
<h4>The FSM Backend Category Organizer solution</h4>
<p>FSM Backend Category Organizer allows you to present the categories and another taxonomy items in a different and more organized way. Any main taxonomy item can become a tab that will display only their sub-items, separately from the rest. You can create as many item-tabs as you wish and order them however you want, or you can just create a list of all the first level categories in the current taxonomy (containing at least one child) by clicking the “Populate” button.</p>
<p>All assigned items can be viewed at a glance in a list format, regardless of which tab has been marked. They can also be deselected quickly from this list.</p>
<p>The plugin also allows you to show and hide the standard “All Categories” tab.</p>
<h4>Translations</h4>
<p>The plugin comes up with 3 complete translations:</p>
<ul>
<li>English (en)</li>
<li>Spanish (es_ES)</li>
<li>Catalan (ca)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Some tips</h4>
<p>You can move the new taxonomy assignment box to any position within the post editing page. We recommend to drag it to the main column, the widest, for a better fit.</p>
<h4>Coming soon</h4>

<li>On the fly tab auto-generator.</li>
<li>Mix categories in any group, no matter their hierarchies.</li>
<li>Control which users can organize categories.</li>
