From the developer
Sohan Zaman's own description of Bulk Add Terms, lightly tidied.
Have you ever been frustrated adding more and more categories or tags or any other terms in a rush? Don’t worry anymore. You can add thousands of terms in one go with this plugin.
How do I do that?
- Install the plugin and activate. A new menu called ‘Add Bulk Terms’ will pop up.
- Click on the menu and you’ll be taken to a new page where you will see all the registered taxonomy either by theme or any plugin.
- First select a taxonomy which you want to add terms.
- Then insert the terms in the right side textarea. Make sure each line contains only one term.
- Click on ‘Add Now’ button. A little confirmation will pop up just to make sure you have inserted everything correctly. Click yes and BOOM. All terms are added.
What about nesting parent and child?
This plugin supports to do that. You can go and do nesting. You can indent child levels with a dash (-). For example:
Foo
-Bar
-Baz
In the example above, ‘foo’ will be parent while ‘bar’ and ‘baz’ will be child of it.
You can use correct indent to make even more child of child. Example:
Foo
-Bar
--Baz
Complex nesting example:
Foo
-Child of Foo~~foo-custom-slug
--Grand child of Foo~~grand-child-slug
-Second child of Foo
Baz is sibling of Foo
-Nephew of Foo
--Grand child of Baz
--Second grand child
-Son of Baz
-Daughter of Baz~~daughter-custom-slug
I am a lonely term
Do not have child
Unfortunately the maximum supported level is as deep as the SEA.
