Shadow Terms registers custom (shadow) taxonomies for supported post types. These taxonomies can be used to associate related content from a variety of post types.
When a new post of a supported post type is created, a term mirroring that post is also created. When editing another post type that supports this taxonomy, this term can be assigned to associate the posts.
Shadow Terms does not register support for itself on any post types by default. Custom code must be added to a plugin or theme.
Support can be added to a custom post type with code like:
<pre><code><?php
// Register the organization post type normally.
register_post_type( 'organization', $args );

// Add support for Shadow Terms to the organization post type.
add_post_type_support(
 'organization',
 'shadow-terms',
 array(
 // Add post types that support the organization_connect taxonomy.
 'person',
 'press-release',
 )
);
</code></pre>
With the example above, whenever an <code>organization</code> is created, a term with the same name will be created under the <code>organization_connect</code> taxonomy. When a person or press release is edited, that term will be available for assignment through standard WordPress taxonomy interfaces.
Code can then be written to query and display all people or press releases related to an organization.

Shadow Terms


These types of plugins are essential for working around the shortcomings of WordPress and at the same time sticking to standards, thankyou all


Great work

Use terms from generated taxonomies to associate related content.

JS Morisset

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.
There are no plugin settings – simply install and activate the plugin.
<h4>Shows Yoast SEO Term Meta</h4>
Yoast SEO stores its term (ie. categories, tags, and custom taxonomies) metadata in the WordPress options table, not the term meta table.
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).
<h4>Available Filters for Developers</h4>
Filter the term meta shown in the metabox:
<pre><code>'jsmstm_metabox_table_metadata' ( array $metadata, $term_obj )
</code></pre>
Array of regular expressions to exclude meta keys:
<pre><code>'jsmstm_metabox_table_exclude_keys' ( array $exclude_keys, $term_obj )
</code></pre>
Capability required to show term meta:
<pre><code>'jsmstm_show_metabox_capability' ( 'manage_options', $term_obj )
</code></pre>
Show term meta for a taxonomy (defaults to true):
<pre><code>'jsmstm_show_metabox_taxonomy' ( true, $taxonomy )
</code></pre>
Capability required to delete term meta:
<pre><code>'jsmstm_delete_meta_capability' ( 'manage_options', $term_obj )
</code></pre>
Icon for the delete term meta button:
<pre><code>'jsmstm_delete_meta_icon_class' ( 'dashicons dashicons-table-row-delete' )
</code></pre>
