Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes

This plugin lets you swap the auto-complete / search style interface for a checkbox list, without changing any underlying data.

It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag.

It doesn’t allow new tags to be created on the fly, which keeps the tags list under control, although you can optionally enable an add / edit link.

Features

• Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list
• No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms
• Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between auto, full height, and custom (px)
• Show a link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxononomy}” link
• Customization via filters

Filters

runthings_ttc_selected_taxonomies

For detailed documentation and examples, see the full documentation on GitHub.

Parameters:

1. $selected_taxonomies (array): An array of taxonomy slugs. Unset an entry to disable the checkbox list override.
