Advanced Term Fields

With the launch of version 4.4, WordPress added metadata capabilities for taxonomy terms. Advanced Term Fields leverages this new capability by providing developers an easy-to-use, yet powerful framework for adding custom meta fields to taxonomy terms.

Through the use of hooks and filters, it’s completely customizable for your project requirements, while also providing a standardized way of building a UI for managing term metadata.

Use it for tags, categories, even custom taxonomies. Advanced term meta, your way!
