Taxonomy Converter

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 · 87% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Love this plugin, especially when importing blogs from other platforms to WordPress since categories are all imported as tags. Saves me so many hours. Thank you! Also, still works perfectly with 5.5.3 for me.

   It worked perfectly. I couldn’t find another to do this. WordPress has one, but it only converts default categories and tags, not taxonomies for other post types. In my case, I needed it for WooCommerce. After I used it, I read the support and saw it doesn’t work on php 7. Mine was set to 7.2.27 and I had no issues. I realized later that I had looked into another plugin called Term Management Tools. That might work if this one doesn’t. This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by jodzeee.

   For starters, the plugin has deprecated code and produces errors on PHP7. Looks like the code hasn’t really been touched all that much in many, many years. The biggest problem is that when the terms are converted, the term descriptions are removed.

   I used this to convert about 8 categories to tags. It errored and when I checked the categories had been deleted but the tags hadn’t been created.

   Locate it under Tools -> Import. Works very intuitively and quickly. Much more effective and easy-to-use than a similar tool I tried years ago. Bravo!

   Worked great! I was desperate and spent a half hour trying to figure out how to move some tags to categories! Always try google first! This plugin worked great!
