Introduction to Auto Terms

This feature allows WordPress to examine your post content and title for specified terms and automatically add those terms as Tags.

Here’s an example of how it works:

  • You add “WordPress” to the keywords list in TaxoPress.
  • If your post content or title contains the word “WordPress”, then TaxoPress will automatically add “WordPress” as a term for this post.

Here’s a more detailed guide to using the Auto Terms feature …

Step #1. Enable Auto Terms

  • Go to TaxoPress > Auto Terms in your WordPress admin menu.
  • Choose the taxonomy you want to use with Auto Terms. In the the image below, I’ve chosen “Tags”.
  • Click the “Active Auto Tags” box.
  • On most sites, you can check the Terms database box. This feature allows you to use the list of existing terms on your site.
  • However, if you have 1,000’s of terms, consider using the “Keywords list” option. This will use fewer server resources. Enter the keywords you want to add as Auto Terms. In this example, I’ve added four terms: WordPress, CMS, blog, TaxoPress.
  • Click the “Update options” button.

Step #2. Test the Auto Terms system

  • Write a new post. Include at least one of the keywords that exist as terms on your site, or in your “Keywords list”. In the image below the post includes “WordPress” and “CMS”.
  • Publish the post.
  • Your keywords will be automatically added to the Tags box.

If you are using the “Keywords” list feature with Tags, TaxoPress will create new Tags iff they don’t already exist. If you are using this feature with “Categories”, TaxoPress will automatically add create top-level categories. In the example below, “Everyone” and “Software” were created by the Auto Terms feature.
