Bulk Term Generator – Import multiple tags, categories, and taxonomies easily

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 96% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This is the fastest and most intuitive way to create terms. If you already have spreadsheets with your terms, you can easily copy and paste the CSV values as long as the columns are in the right order: Term, Slug, Description. One term per line. With other plugins, there is a bit of a learning curve (such as with ACF or Pods). If you need more advanced functionality, you need one of those plugins. Pods has a similar bulk term generator within a given pod field, but it’s not as user friendly or easy to access. You can even bulk create terms as a children of a parent term. Custom Post Type UI is a good companion plugin for this if you want an easy way to create custom taxonomies. There’s essentially no learning curve and they do exactly what they are supposed to, nothing more. The two of these plugins are user-friendly, easy to use, and fast to work with. I have tried several plugins, and this one seems irreplaceable. I haven’t found anything comparable.

   The plugin works great. It adds bulk adding features to the taxonomy terms configuration that I was not able to find anywhere else except for potentially with some paid plugins. It is easy to use, and it saves a lot of time configuring those post tags, product attributes, categories…
