<p>This plugin lets you swap the auto-complete / search style interface for a checkbox list, without changing any underlying data.</p>
<p>It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag.</p>
<p>It doesn’t allow new tags to be created on the fly, which keeps the tags list under control, although you can optionally enable an add / edit link.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list</li>
<li>No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms</li>
<li>Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between auto, full height, and custom (px)</li>
<li>Show a link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxononomy}” link</li>
<li>Customization via filters</li>
</ul>
<h3>Filters</h3>
<h3>runthings_ttc_selected_taxonomies</h3>
<p>This filter allows developers to modify the array of taxonomies selected for the custom checkbox interface.</p>
<p>For detailed documentation and examples, see the <a href="https://github.com/runthings-dev/runthings-taxonomy-tags-to-checkboxes#filters" rel="nofollow ugc">full documentation on GitHub</a>.</p>
<h4>Parameters:</h4>

Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes


What a great plugin - searched for ages to find this, but does exactly what it needs to do. You do need to go into the settings and show the system tags to enable it (I think it would be better if I had to turn that off rather than on as that's what I wanted the plugin for).



Great example of an annoying WP UI problem solved by a great plugin.


Works perfectly!
