Meta Box Term Meta 1.2.12
Description
Meta Box Term Meta is a WordPress plugin that lets you attach Meta Box custom fields to taxonomy terms such as categories and tags. Instead of keeping taxonomy data limited to names and descriptions, it turns term records into richer, structured content. This helps you organize information consistently across terms and reuse the same field setup every time you create or edit a taxonomy item. Because taxonomy term meta is stored with WordPress, it can be leveraged to improve search relevance and strengthen on-page SEO signals.
As an extension for the Meta Box plugin, it uses the familiar WordPress admin UI for configuration, making setup straightforward for anyone already comfortable with WordPress. You can define the fields once, then manage them directly on the taxonomy edit screens.
Main Features
- Add custom fields to taxonomy terms — Attach Meta Box fields directly to categories, tags, and other term-based taxonomies.
