Term Management Tools

A WordPress plugin // Filters // WPML Support

This is a WordPress plugin that allows you to merge terms, move terms between taxonomies, and set term parents. These operations can be done individually or in bulk. The “Change Taxonomy” option supports WPML-translated terms.

Installation

Installation is a breeze. Search for “Term Management Tools” in your plugins panel, and install it when it comes up. If you’re after more detailed installation instructions, here you go!

Usage

  1. Go to the taxonomy page containing terms you want to modify. For example, for categories go to WP-Admin → Posts → Categories.
  2. Select the terms you want to reorganize
  3. Find the Bulk Actions dropdown, and select the task you’d like done.
  4. Disco.
Set Parent option. In this case, the term “New EN” will be set as a child of “Parent One EN”
Merge option. Here, the two selected terms will be merged into a new term named “Merged.” In addition, because both source terms share the same parent term (“Parent One EN”), the new term will also have “Parent One EN” as its parent term.
Change Taxonomy option. Here, the “Parent One EN” category will be sent to the custom taxonomy “Hierarchical” (which I added for the sake of testing). A few other things to note here. First, the two child terms will also be moved. Second, if there are any WPML translations of these terms, they will also be moved and the translations maintained.

If you’re a developer, there are a few actions and filters at your disposal.
