JS Morisset

<p>The JSM Show Term Metadata plugin displays term (ie. categories, tags, and custom taxonomies) meta keys and unserialized values in a metabox at the bottom of the term editing page.</p>
<p>There are no plugin settings – simply install and activate the plugin.</p>
<h4>Shows Yoast SEO Term Meta</h4>
<p>Yoast SEO stores its term (ie. categories, tags, and custom taxonomies) metadata in the WordPress options table, not the term meta table.</p>
<p>The JSM Show Term Metadata plugin can read and display Yoast SEO’s term metadata, but it cannot be deleted (as it does not reside in the WordPress term meta table).</p>
<h4>Available Filters for Developers</h4>
<p>Filter the term meta shown in the metabox:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_metabox_table_metadata' ( array $metadata, $term_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Array of regular expressions to exclude meta keys:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_metabox_table_exclude_keys' ( array $exclude_keys, $term_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Capability required to show term meta:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_show_metabox_capability' ( 'manage_options', $term_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Show term meta for a taxonomy (defaults to true):</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_show_metabox_taxonomy' ( true, $taxonomy )
</code></pre>
<p>Capability required to delete term meta:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_delete_meta_capability' ( 'manage_options', $term_obj )
</code></pre>
<p>Icon for the delete term meta button:</p>
<pre><code>'jsmstm_delete_meta_icon_class' ( 'dashicons dashicons-table-row-delete' )
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Taxonomy Note</strong> allows you to add a customizable “note” input field for every taxonomy term assigned to a post.<br />
When a post type/taxonomy pair is enabled in the settings, a dedicated meta box will appear in the post editor showing all assigned terms, each with its own note field.</p>
<p>This is ideal for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Recipes (ingredients with quantity or notes)</li>
<li>Products (attributes with additional info)</li>
<li>Events (tags with remarks)</li>
<li>Editorial workflows (categories with comments)</li>
<li>Any situation where a taxonomy term needs extra per-post context</li>
</ul>
<p>Notes are stored per post, not globally — so each post can have different notes for the same term.</p>
<h3>🧩 Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Admin Setup Panel</strong> – Choose which post types and taxonomies should show the note panel.</li>
<li><strong>Per-Post Notes</strong> – Each post can store different notes for the same taxonomy term.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Cleanup</strong> – If a term is removed from the post, its note disappears from the panel.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight & Non-Intrusive</strong> – Pure WordPress; no JS frameworks required.</li>
<li><strong>Perfect for Recipes</strong> – Works beautifully if an AI or script extracts “ingredients” and you need to add quantities manually.</li>
<li><strong>Compatible With Any Theme or Builder</strong> – Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, and others.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Edit any post type where you enabled the plugin.</li>
<li>Assign one or more taxonomy terms as usual.</li>
<li>A new <strong>“Notes”</strong> meta box will appear for each selected taxonomy.</li>
<li>Enter any custom text next to each assigned term.</li>
<li>Save the post — notes will be stored automatically.</li>
</ol>
<p>Notes are saved <strong>only for terms currently assigned to the post</strong>.</p>
