Categories and Tags are tricky – sometimes they take a bit of experimentation to get right, and when we change the way we want to do things and we end up with a mess to clean up. This is when Taxonomy Toolbox can help.
This plugin provides the following tools to help manage your taxonomies:
<ul>
<li>Summarize current Taxonomies</li>
<li>Convert Tags to Categories</li>
<li>Convert Categories to Tags</li>
<li>Delete empty Tags or Categories</li>
<li>Identify and Merge Tags/Categories that exist for the same term</li>
<li>Force a recount of objects associated for all taxonomies</li>
<li>Delete any orphaned data</li>
</ul>

Taxonomy Toolbox

A bit premature for a through review, but when I realized my old stand by Term Management Tools didn't provide for bulk converting tags to categories I was happy to find this... and it worked!



Worked great converting tags to categories

Worked for me to quickly see which custom taxonomies were configured on the site.

Taxonomy Toolbox allows you to quickly review and update your Categories, Tags and other taxonomies.

This plugin allows you to select your “From”, and “To” Taxonomies, to convert all terms. Optionally select a parent term to limit terms to switch. Typing term names will do a live search of terms with the name you are typing AND possess child terms.
Plugin also has built-in support for <a href="http://wp-cli.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP-CLI</a>. In the command line, type in <code>wp taxonomy-switcher</code> for instructions.

<h3>Notes</h3>
Please keep in mind, if parent isn’t set, or you don’t specify a comma-separated list of term ids to migrate, it will migrate all terms for that taxonomy to the new taxonomy.

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.
