Advanced Taxonomy Manager provides an enhanced interface for managing every WordPress taxonomy from one place. Organize categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy with an intuitive, drag-and-drop hierarchy editor that goes well beyond the standard WordPress term screens.
Switch between four ways of viewing your terms — a dense Compact List, cascading Columns, spacious Cards, or a Tree diagram — and reorganize them by drag and drop, including reordering and re-nesting with a live “where will this land” hint.
It is completely free and works with all of your public taxonomies.
Key Features
- All Taxonomies – Manage categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy from a single editor
- Four Term Views – Switch between Compact List, Columns (Miller), Cards, and Tree layouts, and set your preferred default
- Drag to Reorder & Re-nest – Drag a term to reorder it among its siblings or drag sideways to nest it under another term (or outdent it), with a live placement note showing exactly where it will land
- Bulk Actions – Multi-select terms to Move them under a new parent, Merge several terms into one, or Delete in bulk
- Manual Ordering – Set a custom term order in the editor and optionally apply that order across the front end of your site
- Search Everywhere – Filter and find terms instantly in every view
- AI-Powered Descriptions – Optionally generate term descriptions with your own OpenAI API key, and choose which model to use
- Term Insights – View a term’s public archive and see the posts assigned to it in a paginated popup
- Import/Export – Transfer term structures between sites with JSON import/export
- Native Categories Integration – The Posts > Categories menu opens directly into the manager, with a link back to the classic WordPress screen any time
