Taxonomy metadata now failing

  • I see that the plugin hasn’t been updated in over three months, but WordPress 4.4 has already been released. This will likely result in a fatal error being served on any sites using this plugin.

    Mitcho, I think you should at least clear the plugin file so that it does nothing rather than serving an error like this.

    If anyone is experiencing problems, just deactivate the plugin. Your existing data will be lost, but the functionality of the plugin should continue since this functionality is now baked into WordPress core. If you can’t reach your admin panel, then just delete the plugin files from the server.

  • I used the plugin before. When I tried to update to WP4.4, it gave a blank screen. Then I deactivated the Taxonomy Metadata plugin. Yet then, my data was gone. This is how I fixed this:

    (be sure to take a database backup first!)

    1. Go to your database
    2. Go to the table wp_taxonomymeta
    3. Change the name of this table to wp_termmeta
    4. Open this table (wp_termmeta)
    5. Check the structure: if a new column ‘term_id’ (check if it is empty) was created, go ahead and delete this
    6. Change the column ‘taxonomy_id’ name to ‘term_id’

    Your metadata should be back and up and running.

    Be sure to take another backup for your database and make sure to delete the Taxonomy Metadata plugin!
