Frequently Asked Questions

No. All of WordPress’s core database tables remain untouched.

How do I query for terms via their colors?

With WordPress’s get_terms() function, the same as usual, but with an additional meta_query argument according the WP_Meta_Query specification:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Meta_Query

$terms = get_terms( 'category', array(
    'depth'      => 1,
    'number'     => 100,
    'parent'     => 0,
    'hide_empty' => false,

    // Query by color
    'meta_query' => array( array(
        'key'   => 'color',
        'value' => '#c0ffee'
    ) )
) );

Works well with WP's new termmeta table

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.
