are there plans to update this or should we find something else?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-category-meta/

Opening a category page to edit the meta data resulted in an unusable page. The layout was broken.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-category-meta/

Just updated a site to WP 4.0, and this plugin no longer attaches images to the category as it used to do.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-category-meta/

Hello,

I’ve added the following code to my categories.php but the meta is not showing:

if (function_exists('get_terms_meta'))
{
    $metaValue = get_terms_meta($category_id, $meta_key);
}

I have value for certain category but it’s not showing in the template. Should I add something else in order to dispay the meta?

Hi,

Your plugin seems to be the perfect solution, but it isn’t saving uploaded images.

I tried to upload an old version from this post:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-category-meta-plugin-the-image-meta-is-not-being-saved?replies=23

but it didn’t work.

Any ideas?

thank you!

Hi. I made the translation of this plugin to pt_BR.

https://josecoelho.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/wp-category-meta-pt_BR.zip

Can you publish this translation on the next version?

Thanks a lot.

Plugin seems to be working.
One thing that seems to be missing is how to change the order of the meta fields in the backend.
I just added a meta field ,but it just gets appended all the way at the end of the taxonomy edit page … would be nice if we could change the order of those fields.

Any temporary hack (I even want to go hardcore DB on thisone) , before this possibly sees a release in a next update.

Hi,

I’ve tried the last version of the plugin found here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-category-meta-plugin-working-version-of-this-plugin?replies=11 and it installs fine, but it doesn’t seem to insert the image into the post. Could this be a WP 3.7.1 issue?

How can output a new post-tag meta?

<php echo …

a meta field from a taxonomy?

thank you!

Hi there I’m trying to get categories with a particular meta value. For I’ve seen you always need a category id to get meta-values.

Is possible to do that?

I have been looking at terms_clauses filter to add a join to categories but this solution seems to be complicated.

Thanks.

This issue was posted by vladv here:

> In 3.4.2, the plugin fails to insert images if the path has been changed from [wp-content/uploads].

I am tracking this issue over on GitHub:

This plugin appears to have been abandoned, but I’ve been patching it and keeping up with changes over on GitHub. You can always find the latest version here:

Enjoy!

How do you display the meta tag with the plugin?

For example: I want to create a meta field in Tags called “link”. Then use this link: https://www.google.com with the Tag Google.

I did the following:

1. Added a Meta:
Meta Name: link
Meta Type: textarea
Meta Taxonomy: post_tag

2. Created a tag called: Google

3. Term meta (link): I added and saved my link https://www.google.com.

4. In loop.php (twenty ten template) I added the following code (from the instructions):

<?php
if (function_exists(‘get_terms_meta’))
{
echo get_terms_meta($category_id, $meta_key);
}
?>

But this doesnt display anything, do anyone know a solution for this?

I added an Image field to an existing category but the category disappeared from category overview after saving. Found that that is caused because the language code is removed from the ‘language_code’ field from the [prefix]_icl_translations table of WPML. Rated the plugin 4 stars anyway because the concept is very nice.

I’m interested in adopting this plugin and getting it officially working again with 3.4. Eric or Tom, if you read this, how can we arrange that?

I am writing a plugin to automatically add categories to my blog. The meta keys are setup using this plugin and account for all categories. However I wonder how I can assign a meta value to my category with my own plugin. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks in advance.

I’m not the developer of this plugin, but I managed to figure out how to make it work for me on WordPress 3.3.1. You can download the code from the GitHub repository I created for it:

* https://github.com/randyhoyt/wp-category-meta

(You can download it by clicking on the ZIP image in the top left corner, right under the top navigation.)

I was using this with my site pre-update and all existing category meta information still works fine.

However, I cannot update category meta, in particular images. When I try to add an image, the thickbox pops up to the media gallery (as expected) but using ‘insert into post’ doesn’t actually put image in. So, there might be an issue with the javascript/jquery transfer of that data somehow. I’m not sure if this is an issue with the plugin or a change in how the media gallery does insertions (since they changed the media insert dialogues in the latest version).

Neither the div holding the URL of the image nor the hidden field seem to be updated, but that is hard to test.

I really like/need this plugin, so if anyone edited and fixed it to make it work with WP 3.3+, please let me know. I even downgraded WP to be able to use this plugin, go figure. Or if anyone knows of a similar plugin, I’d appreciate it as well

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-category-meta/

After creating the new image field, the field appears on the category edition correctly, but then after clicking on the link to upload an image, upload it and clicking on “insert into post”, nothing happens.

Hi,

I’m having trouble using this plugin with WordPress 3.2.1. The plugin seems to install correctly and allows you to define meta fields for categories. However when you try to save the category with the new fields nothing happens. The plugin doesn’t seem to create the relevant tables in the database to save the data.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I want to add a meta field which is a flag to say if the item is live or dormant. If I use the checbox type it allows me to set it to ‘on’ but deletes the meta key if not checked. This causes problems if I try to select all dormant terms as there is no key to select!

I guess this would be solved if we had the option to make the field a radio button option with defined data elements eg ‘on’, ‘off’ etc.

Is there anyway to implement this? Or is there another way I can define an on-off flag for the terms?

Hi,

I added a checkbox to categories.

I would like to display a particular list of categories: only those that have the checkbox checked.

Do you know how to do that?
Thx ??

Just in case anybody encounters this issue. I’ve spent hours just trying to solve this. I’m not an in-depth php coder and so I’m sharing this just in case there are people out there like me who runs into this problem.

Using WordPress 3.1 and WP Category Meta 1.2.4. My goal was to add another description textarea field to my categories, to be displayed on my category pages (category.php) within the loop. The code I’ve followed is this:

<?
$cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$category_id = $cat->term_id;

if (function_exists('get_terms_meta'))
{
&new_value = get_terms_meta($category_id, 'my_new_meta_data');
echo $new_value;
}
?>

This code always displayed “Array” where I wanted my newly made and saved description to be. I then looked within the wp-category-meta.php and saw another variable get_terms_meta() was asking for besides $terms_id and $key. It was looking for a boolean variable $single. So I just tried to add one word in my get_terms_meta() and it was the word “true”. Here’s my new code:

<?
$cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$category_id = $cat->term_id;

if (function_exists('get_terms_meta'))
{
&new_value = get_terms_meta($category_id, 'my_new_meta_data', true);
echo $new_value;
}
?>

get_terms_meta($category_id, ‘my_new_meta_data’, true) was all that was needed to get the data I’ve saved displayed on the page. Just add the word TRUE. I hope this helps a troubled soul out there.

Is there a way to add the custom meta information to a category list? What I really want to do is sort a category list by the custom meta that I assign to each category. Is it even possible to use the get_terms_meta function on pages other than the category page?

I want to do this so that I can have a custom sorting of just one of the category lists on my site. Any help in this pursuit would be greatly appreciated.

Have the attachments plugin installed alongside category meta. Which of the two is causing the problem? Anyway to work around the conflict? For an image field the “Attach” button replaces the “Insert into post” which does not work.

Hey there.

I try to geht this baby running in WordPress Version 3.1.3 with Multisite. I can create new term-meta (“band_website”) for tags BUT the value of the new term-meta is not stored when I edit a tag.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Second question: I want to show the term-meta in the tag.php template and wonder how to get the value of my term-meta “band_website” shown.

Thanks for your help!

does not work with WP 3.1.3

All ok in admin, nothing shows in the category header (yes, inserted that code in header.php as advised)

something important is obviously missing
