  • Almost what i wanted

    I wanted to select tags/no-hierarchy taxonomies just like i select categories and it solves this problem. But it forces to select only one taxonomy. If this feature was optional Would be great.

  • Very helpful but not "idiot-proof"

    This plugin is exceptionally useful for bloggers. That said, the reason it received only 4 stars out of 5 is because the meta box shows up at woocommerce products as well, which of course the post tags are irrelevant. I'm sure the same would happen for all other custom post types. The meta box has to be displayed only on blog posts - other than that... this plugin is perfect, thank you !!!
