Beautiful!

Just a great solution!

Very useful plugin!

This functionality should be in WP core! But since it’s not there, I am very happy with this plugin 🙂 Love the easy drag and drop interface and the compatibility with custom taxonomies. Awesome! U

Works perfectly

The only plugin that also handles the child terms correctly – leaves nothing to be desired. Many thanks for your work!
