Overview
This is an add-on for the Advanced Custom Fields
WordPress plugin and will not provide any functionality to WordPress unless Advanced Custom Fields is installed
and activated.
The taxonomy field provides a select, multi-select or checkboxes of taxonomy terms (categories, tags, custom taxonomies…)
and the ability to map the selected terms to the post. The post type must support the taxonomy for the mapping to work.
The taxonomy field currently does not provide the ability to add new terms to a taxonomy. The return type of the get_value()
api can be changed in the field settings.

This is an absolutely brilliant plugin, it is exactly what I was looking for.
by Entheologist·11 years ago
I used to spend long hours writing all my own plugins from scratch when working with wordpress, but I’m done with that, since there are so many plugins already out there. This plugin is perfect for what I’m doing. I’m making a CRUD like cataloging system, I was going to use an external database rather than posts but that turned out to be very time consuming the last time I did this, so I looked into finding a way to use posts to list the items and out of around 50 plugins I looked at, I am real relieved to find this one because it saves me from having to make an integrated taxonomy manager/unique post creator myself.
This is a great plugin and I will give you feedback on ways to improve it and even pitch in and write some code for you. There are some improvements I need to make for my project, so I’ll make them as modular as possible and pass them onto you so maybe you can implement them in the next version of the plugin.
A great plugin to go with ACF
