Organize content like posts, pages or WooCommerce products and all custom post types in category folders. It’s basically a file manager like Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, but for your content in WordPress. Mass content management made easy with Real Category Management!
Real Category Management allows you to organize all your WordPress categories within the overview table of each content type – easily and flexibly. Use your mouse to drag and drop your posts into categories. Create, name, delete or rearrange your categories. It works seamlessly with any custom post type. Just install this plugin, and it will work with posts, pages, WooCommerce products, LearnPress content, bbPress forums and much more.
In the free version, the folder tree is only available for posts.
Pretty good module, it serves it purpose, helps us handle hundred of categories. So if you want a easy way to manage category tree, this just works.
Free version works only with basic WordPress blog entries. Any other content like WooCoommerce requires Pro version. Bait.
Offered “for free”, it comes with close to ZERO functionality. Categorizing Posts is the only free function, anything else is only available in the paid version. Sure, you are supposed to make money with your product. But don’t pretend to offer it for free if actually nothing is free. This is false advertising and leaves an unpleasant rip-of-flavor in my mouth.
Please don’t put features of the pro version on the description without PROPERLY listing that they are features for the PRO version. That way, you can avoid wasting people’s time
Love this functionality for if you have more than a few categories. I also wanted the functionality of drag and drop the post order, wich is also available together with Real Custom Post Order. I didn’t know about this, but support helped me out.
