WP Taxonomy Manager 2.3.0Latest
- Added: Post Order add-on (free, off by default). Type an order number for the posts of a category, rename titles in place, and move posts to the Trash. The Order field in the post editor fills in the next number for the chosen category.
- Added: The [taxocsie_ordered_posts] shortcode and an Ordered Posts block list a category in its saved order.
- Added (Pro): Drag and drop, quick sort (A-Z, Z-A, newest, oldest, reverse), and undo in Post Order.
- Added (Pro): Bulk Assign add-on (off by default) to add, remove, or replace terms on many posts, with undo for one hour.
- Added (Pro): Drag a term onto a sibling or a breadcrumb in Term Ordering to move it under another parent.
- Added (Pro): Term Image and Term Field blocks.
- Added: A getting-started checklist and a sample CSV download on the Dashboard.
- Added: An illustrated overview of what the Data Manager can do, shown before you choose a task.
- Added: A new “Post Tools” group in the plugin navigation.

- Improved: The Pro offer banner appears only on the Dashboard and Add-ons screens, only to Free sites, and can be closed.
- Improved: Pro upgrade and documentation links open in a new tab, and the documentation link points to wp-taxonomy-manager.com/docs/.

- Improved: The translation template is refreshed, and block editor text is ready for translation.
- Improved: Code follows the WordPress coding standards in the files added or changed in this release.
WP Taxonomy Manager 2.2.0
- Added: CSV import detects comma, semicolon, and tab separators, and converts UTF-16 and Windows-1252 files to UTF-8.
- Added: A term_path (or category_path) column, such as “Clothing > Men > Shirts”, creates missing parent terms.
- Added: Recent CSV imports with a previewed undo that keeps terms now in use, default terms, and terms with other children.
- Added: Search on the Add-ons page.
- Added: An “Ask a question” button on every plugin screen that sends a question to the WP Taxonomy Manager team, with optional site details.
- Improved: The readme lists the external services the plugin connects to and what each receives.
- Improved: Parent rows are created before their children wherever they appear in a CSV, so name-sorted exports keep their hierarchy on re-import.
- Improved: Equal term names can be imported under different parents.
- Improved: Redesigned Dashboard with term totals, grouped quick actions, recent imports, and a responsive layout.
- Improved: Sidebar submenu groups align and size correctly on mobile.
- Improved: Every plugin screen has the same, wider spacing on both sides, on desktop and mobile.
- Fixed: The Data Manager “Choose an action” step no longer overflows its card on tablets and phones.
- Fixed (Pro): Excel and JSON term exports failed with an “export request is invalid” error because the download link was HTML-escaped.

- Added: Premium dry import preview with CSV validation, create/update/skip/error summaries, hierarchy checks, and row-level diagnostics without changing taxonomy data.
- Added: Pro taxonomy image import/export through the image_source CSV column, including secure Media Library sideloading, attachment generation, export preview, and WooCommerce product category thumbnail compatibility.
- Added: Custom taxonomy term links with Add/Edit Term fields, Settings control, term_link integration, and custom_link CSV import/export support.
- Fixed: Plugin activation no longer triggers a fatal error when a source checkout is missing Composer’s vendor directory; a fallback internal autoloader and administrator notice are used instead.

- Fixed: Demo taxonomy statistics now render Type, Terms, and Actions in their correct table columns.
WP Taxonomy Manager 1.4
- Added: Register Taxonomy — create and persist custom taxonomies from the admin UI, choosing between Tags (non-hierarchical) or Categories (hierarchical) type and attaching to any post type.
- Added: Create Term — accordion list of all registered taxonomies; expand any row to add a new term with a title and optional description via AJAX (no page reload).
- Added: Export data preview — see all terms in a table before downloading the CSV.
- Added: Unified Import/Export UI with pill-style tab switcher; import and export panels toggle dynamically without a page reload.

- Improved: CSS rewritten with CSS custom properties for the color scheme; duplicate rules removed and responsive breakpoints consolidated.
- Fixed: fputcsv() and str_getcsv() deprecated escape-parameter warning (PHP 8.4) that was prepending error output to exported CSV files and corrupting imports.
- Fixed: ImportLogger::log() was called with the wrong class name (Import_Logger) and as a static method when it was an instance method — both now corrected.
- Fixed: Broken singleton init() method that silently created a second unused instance.
- Fixed: taxocsie_admin_notice_remove() parenthesis grouping — the third screen ID condition was outside the isset() guard, risking a PHP notice on screens without an ID.
- Fixed: TAXOCSIE_VERSION constant was mismatched with the plugin header.
- Removed: Facebook footer links from all admin pages.
- Removed: Debug error_log() calls left in autoload.php and admin/preview.php.
