<p>Adds various tweaks the WordPress Admin UI. More specifically to increase visibility and usability. All features are in a constant state of beta, there are no guarantees and a modern browser is mandatory!</p>
<p>Special thanks to John O’Nolan’s UI Labs plugin which gave me the inspiration to tinker with the UI and started me off.</p>


UI Tweaks

Adds various tweaks the WordPress Admin UI...

runthings.dev

<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 can optionally allow new terms to be added directly from the post editing UI, while still letting you keep this disabled by default.</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 default (200px max), full, and custom (px)</li>
<li>Optional inline add control for new terms, enabled per taxonomy</li>
<li>Optional link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxonomy}” style link</li>
<li>Optional per-taxonomy search box with Off, Always, and Min Terms modes</li>

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!


I have some sites that just want to select tags from an existing list, and this is perfect for that!


Does what I need

Convert taxonomy tags to checkboxes in the WordPress admin area.
