<p><em>Please note this plugin requires at least PHP 7.1.</em></p>
<p>If you need to reorganize your tags and categories, this plugin will make it easier for you. It adds three new options to the Bulk Actions dropdown on term management pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Merge – combine two or more terms into one</li>
<li>Set Parent – set the parent for one or more terms (for hierarchical taxonomies)</li>
<li>Change Taxonomy – convert terms from one taxonomy to another</li>
</ul>
<p>It works with tags, categories and <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Taxonomies" rel="nofollow ugc">custom taxonomies</a>.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to the taxonomy page containing terms you want to modify. For example, for categories go to <code>WP-Admin <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Posts <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Categories</code>.</li>
<li>Select the terms you want to reorganize</li>
<li>Find the Bulk Actions dropdown, and select the task you’d like done.</li>
<li>Disco.</li>
</ol>
<h3>WPML</h3>
<p><a href="https://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a>-translated terms are partially supported. Currently only the “Change Taxonomy” task is WPML-aware. If a term with translations is moved to a new taxonomy, its translations are moved as well, and the translation relationships are preserved.</p>

Term Management Tools

Excellent work! It saved me hours from having to write a bunch of SQL scripts!

Very Helpful

Allows you to merge terms, move terms between taxonomies, and set term parents, individually or in bulk. WPML is supported when changing taxonomies.

<p>How it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Click ‘Tools > Bulk Term Editor’.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select a taxonomy.<br />
If you selected a taxonomy which has terms, it will read those into the field.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Get your data ready.<br />
Prepare your data by spreadsheet such as Excel.<br />
If you selected a taxonomy which has terms at the step 2, it’s easy to copy that data into the spreadsheet.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Copy the cells.<br />
You may copy all lines, but the more lines there are, the more times spends.<br />
Copying the minimum necessary lines is the best, but safer to copy all lines.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Paste to this plugin.<br />
Paste it into the ‘Term’ field of this plugin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Execute.<br />
Clicking the ‘Edit’ button executes it.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Delete</h4>
<p>Entering a ‘*’ in beginning of line will delete.</p>
<h4>Change the term slug</h4>
<p>Entering a ‘>New slug’ after the term slug will change the term slug.</p>
<h4>Add</h4>
<p>When the term slug is a blank or new, add.</p>


Bulk Term Editor

Just came here to say THANK YOU, this plugin is a very very handy and useful tool to manage BIG list of taxonomies. Thank you. 

Awesome Job! Thanks

You can register or edit terms in bulk. Copy cells in the spreadsheet, all that remains is to paste to this plugin.
