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!
Using the plugin on multiple sites I am a grateful fan 🙂 Thank you!
The only plugin that also handles the child terms correctly – leaves nothing to be desired. Many thanks for your work!
Unfortunately, it’s another order plugin that doesn’t work with the REST API.
Thanks for the plugin.
