Taxonomy CSV Import Export

Taxonomy CSV Import Export is the complete admin toolkit for managing WordPress taxonomies and users through CSV files. Import hundreds of terms in seconds, export any taxonomy with a single click, build custom taxonomies without writing a line of code, and manage your entire user base — all from a clean, modern admin interface.

Whether you are migrating a site, seeding a staging environment, bulk-editing taxonomy terms, or onboarding users, this plugin removes the manual work entirely.

Works with every taxonomy WordPress supports: built-in categories and tags, WooCommerce product categories, and any custom taxonomy registered by a theme or plugin.

🗂️ Feature 1 — CSV Export

Export any registered taxonomy to a structured CSV file in one click.

What it does:
Select a taxonomy from the dropdown, optionally preview the full term list in a table, then download the CSV. The exported file includes every term’s name, slug, description, and parent slug so the data is ready to import into any other WordPress site.

Use cases:
* Back up all taxonomy terms before a major site update
* Migrate categories or tags from a staging site to production
* Hand off a taxonomy list to a content team for bulk editing in Excel or Google Sheets
* Archive taxonomy data as part of a site documentation process

Exported columns: name, slug, description, parent_slug

🔍 Feature 2 — Export Preview

See exactly what will be exported before the file downloads.

What it does:
Click Preview to load a live table of all terms for the selected taxonomy — name, slug, description, and parent slug — directly on the page. No download needed to verify the data.

Use cases:
* Confirm the correct taxonomy is selected before downloading
* Spot missing descriptions or broken parent relationships before handing off data
* Show a client or team member what data exists without needing to open a spreadsheet

📥 Feature 3 — CSV Import

Bulk-import taxonomy terms from any CSV file with automatic hierarchy resolution.

What it does:
Upload a CSV file with a name column (plus optional slug, description, and parent_slug). The importer processes every row, creates the term, links it to its parent by slug, and shows a per-term results table — created, updated, skipped, or failed — when complete.

Use cases:
* Populate a brand-new site with hundreds of categories from a spreadsheet
* Migrate taxonomy terms from another CMS or platform exported as CSV
* Re-import an edited export file after a content team has updated descriptions in Excel
* Seed a development or staging environment to match the production taxonomy structure
* Sync taxonomy terms across multiple WordPress installations
