About this Plugin

This plugin implements the metadata infrastructure for taxonomy terms, so you can add custom metadata (by key) to tags, categories, and other taxonomies. The majority of the code is from sirzooro’s submission to the WordPress Core Trac. The rest of the plugin is simply some hacky glue to make this work without modifying the Core. It does not implement any UI for taxonomy term metadata.
