It does what it says it does

Always appreciate a simple 1 task plugin without too much fluff. It works well. Until WordPress implements this natively (I don’t really understand why it’s not the case), it’s my go to plugin.

Lite and Customizable

Simple and Lite Plugin/Widget, that offers custom settings inside the widget. Works well and you can have multiple taxonomies instances/configurations.
