oakenbit Term Tree Creator

Indent it under that category, with spaces or a tab. Every line that is indented further than the line above becomes its child. Lines with the same indentation are siblings.

Choose “Leading dashes” under “Nesting is shown by”. Then a line without a dash is top level, “-” is level two, “–” is level three, and so on.

Yes. Either choose the existing category as the parent for the whole outline, or write the existing category’s name at the top of the outline and indent the new terms under it. The existing category is reused, not duplicated.

Terms with the same name and parent are reused, so only missing terms are created. If nothing is missing, the preview tells you there is nothing to create. WordPress itself does not allow two terms with the same name under the same parent.

Add a vertical bar and the slug after the name: Getting started | getting-started . The last vertical bar on a line starts the slug, so a name may contain one if you also give a slug. Without a slug, WordPress creates one from the name.

Yes. After a run, and later under “Recent runs”, click “Undo” or “Delete terms”. Terms have no Trash in WordPress, so the plugin asks first and then deletes only the terms that run created and that are still unused: a term is kept if any post or other content was assigned to it, if it has child terms that were added later, or if you are not allowed to delete it.

Not from the outline. Developers can add a description with the oakenbit_term_tree_creator_term_args filter.

One run creates up to 500 terms. Split longer outlines into parts, or raise the limit with the oakenbit_term_tree_creator_max_items filter.

For security, names are cleaned like any text field in WordPress: HTML tags are removed, and a percent sign followed by two letters or digits (such as “%20”) is removed.

Users who can manage categories (administrators and editors by default). Taxonomies that need a different capability are listed only for users who have it.
