Multi-Column Taxonomy List is a plugin that allows you to list your categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into multiple columns.
This plugin is great to use on custom archives index pages to display all categories, tags, and custom taxonomies on a single page. You can also turn the list into links to the RSS feeds for your taxonomies.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Shortcode attributes</h4>
You can implement a new list by adding the shortcode <code>[mctl]</code> to the content of a page. By default, it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories. You can customize the output using attributes in the following format: <code>[mctl taxonomy='post_tag' title='Tags']</code>
<ul>
<li>taxonomy: The taxonomy to retrieve terms from
<ul>

<h4>Template tag</h4>
Alternatively, you can implement a new list by adding the the template tag <code><?php multi_column_tax_list(); ?></code> anywhere in the code of your theme. Just like the shortcode, by default it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories. You can customize the output using a string of parameters in the following format: <code><?php multi_column_tax_list( 'taxonomy=post_tag&title=Tags' ); ?></code>
Refer to the above attributes for customizations.

Taxonomy Switcher

Not sure the forum policy on swearing on here, but this plugin is chuffing amazing, saved my bottom recently as I imported ~7000 term into the wrong taxonomy, and it transferred it over no fuss.

This saved my bottom!

Don't let the small number of active installs fool you: This tool does what it says and does it well. Once the data is modified, most people (like myself) probably uninstall it.

Kudos to the Authors!

Awesome Tool!

Does exactly what it claims to do and works flawlessly. Thanks!!

Awesome!


I started using this plugin recentlyThanks for the CLI support



Works as expected


Kudos to CLI support

Switch the taxonomy for all terms or only child terms of a specified parent term.
