WP Term Colors

I needed to save colors for terms, and found that @jjj had already done the work. Accessing the saved colors is pretty straightforward using the new (WP 4.4 or newer) built-in utility function:
$color = get_term_meta( $term_id, 'color', true );
The terms are saved in hex format (#eeee22) so are ready to use once retrieved.
Thanks @jjj.



Works well with WP's new termmeta table

<p>Have you ever wanted to sort your categories using drag and drop? Have you ever used a plugin that implements some sort of custom taxonomy or custom categories but no drag and drop sorting support?</p>
<p>Then, that plugin is for you. Using it you can enable categories custom ordering using drag and drop. But not only, you can set it to enable custom ordering of any other taxonomy’s terms, even taxonomies created by other plugins.</p>
<p>By default, drag and drop sorting is enabled for your posts categories. If you want to order any other taxonomy, go read <a href="http://gecka-apps.com/wordpress-plugins/terms-ordering/" rel="nofollow ugc">the plugin’s page on our website</a>.</p>
<p>You would like to support us? Go over <a href="http://gecka-apps.com" rel="nofollow ugc">at our website</a> and check our great premium plugins.</p>
