Introduction to Auto Terms

The Auto Terms feature can scan your content and automatically assign terms. For example, you have a term called “WordPress”. Auto Terms can analyze your posts and when it finds the word “WordPress”, it can add that term to your post.

Here’s an example of how it works:

  • You add “Software” to your list of “Tags”.
  • If your post content or title contains the word “Software”, then TaxoPress will automatically add “Software” 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”.
  • Choose the post types you want to use with this feature.
  • The other required setting is in “Terms to Use”. You need to choose whether to use all the terms in your taxonomy, or only a select group. If you choose to use all the terms, test carefully as this process may slow your site if you have 10,000’s of terms or if you have a slow server.
  • If you “Use only some terms in the selected taxonomy” then TaxoPress will ask you to choose which terms will be used with the Auto Terms feature.
  • The “Stop words” feature allow you to choose words to exclude from Auto Terms. Any terms entered in this box will not be added to posts, even if those words and phrases are found in your posts.

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. In the image below the post includes “WordPress” and “CMS”.
  • Publish the post.
  • Your keywords will be automatically added to the Tags box.
