Description

Registers taxonomies programtically from a config array and provides other helper functions.

We needed a way to add taxonomies that we rely on accross sites and managing those was becomeing cumbersome. This allows us to manage them via a config array.

The plugin also provides workarounds for limitations in WordPress handling of terms in feeds and post term sorting.

Sorted Terms

There's also a sorted_terms helper function you can use in plugins and templates like this:

go_taxonomy()->sorted_terms( $post_id, $args );

Parameters

$post_id

(int) (optional) The ID of the post you want to get sorted terms for
