R2K Terms Copier


I have the Yoast Duplicate Posts plugin installed on almost every site that I've built, but today realised that it is missing that same duplication feature for taxonomy terms! Really grateful that this plugin exists because it cut my interruption short and quickly let me get back on with the site development. Works pretty much perfectly; it cloned the term, with the JetEngine meta terms added on to it. The only thing I noticed was that the Yoast SEO plugin lost its setting to "do not allow index" during the copy, although this might be a feature of the Yoast plugin perhaps and not an incompatibility?


Handy Plugin For When You Need It

Duplicate taxonomy terms including all meta data and relationships with a single click.

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>
