I’d like to switch an existing “cities” taxonomy into a hierarchal “states” taxonomy, and switch all the cities terms to be nested under a parent target in the switched-to taxonomy (states).
(CITIES TAX)> Sacramento
(CITIES TAX)> Los Angeles
… becomes:
(LOCATIONS TAX) > California > Sacramento
(LOCATIONS TAX) > California > Los Angeles

I just want to share quick and easy solution to fix the problem when we switch hierarchical taxonomy terms:
After converting just go to any term – and update it (without any changes – just save). That’s all!
]]>Does this plugin support wpml?
]]>Hi,
could you please call clean_taxonomy_cache() https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/clean_taxonomy_cache/ after conversion, because failing to do so results in taxonomy terms list showing only top level terms in the admin, similar behaviour described here https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/8357/inserting-terms-in-an-hierarchical-taxonomy Thank you!
]]>I want to switch between porduct_cat and a custom a custom taxonomy.
though plugin works however not all terms get converted and also hierarchy is not persevered while switching.
This plugin is great but in many ways it is not safe! Can you please fix this ASAP
It does not respect capabilites when doing the taxonomy switch and the only check is currently in the admin screen for manage_options. This needs to at least check the update_core capability as on multisite an admin may not have the capability to assign or edit oall terms.

]]>This plugin still works beautiful. Any chance you could do a simple, formal update to get rid of the warning banner?
]]>Client is streamlining their plugins. I have no way of knowing if your plugin was used to change any taxonomies. My question is… if I remove the plugin, and if the client used your tool to make changes, will these changes revert or be lost upon removal?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

]]>Hi,
I just want to make sure I’m using this tool as it was intended. I have a custom taxonomy called “Books” for example. I just want to switch terms within that custom taxonomy, from “Red Riding Hood 2” to “Red Riding Hood” (all part of the Books custom taxonomy type). So I set both the to/from taxonomy settings to the same time, “Books”. And I enter the term ids into the text boxes below.
But it doesn’t seem to work for me, it says the taxonomies are not found. The term ids are definitely correct.
Is this tool only for when I want to switch taxonomy types (Say from Books to DVDs) versus from term to term (all within Books)?
I’m using WP 4.9.8 if it helps.
Thanks!
]]>Hello,
I have taxonomy switcher plug in working with the S&F but I can not seem to display my tags as check boxes when I add a New Portfolio Item.
I set,
Taxonomy to switch from: Tags
Taxonomy to switch to: Equipment
But I do not see my tags displayed in that Project Category. Can you please help me display my tags under each project category so I can check them when I create each new portfolio item?
Please see attached image. (on the left is the issue, on the right is what I need it to look like.)

Thanks.
]]>Your plugin performs a number of checks before taxonomy_switcher_init runs
One of them is current_user_can( 'install_plugins' ) and I am not convinced this is an appropriate capability check for this kind of action.
Anyway, map_meta_cap will later hardcode this capability to be disallowed if the DISALLOW_FILE_MODS constant is set.
As a result, the UI will do nothing at all when you click submit.
I do not think this behaviour makes much sense. Wouldn’t manage_categories be a more fitting capability? Also: Why do you not perform this check before even adding the UI?
Hi,
Plugin works great, thanks.
Thought you might like to know that there is a small typo in the settings page:
]]>Limit taxomoy switch for child
After switching to an old category to a new taxonomy. They are not showing in my list in that taxonomy page but they are showing on the post pages tax box.
]]>It seems like duplicate taxonomies do not get updated. I have a state -> city taxonomy setup with 3 different taxonomies. When trying to combine them, I still end up with duplicate taxonomies, despite them all being part of the same taxonomy type.
]]>Excellent plugin. In WordPress 4.6 is not able to immediately activate the plugin through the panel after downloading wp-admin / plugin-install.php. But on page wp-admin / plugins.php activated excellent!
]]>I’ve tried various methods (i.e. with or without parent IDs), but can seem to get taxonomies to switch with their hierarchy intact.
If you select a specific parent, it’s children and their hierarchies switch intact, bu the top-level specified is gone.
If you just do all, then only the top level get switched, and all the children and grand-children are left behind.
Seems a bit unpredictable.
