Enhanced Category (safe name: enhancedcategory) custom post type is created and a post is generated automatically for each category/term.
Enhanced Category Post (ECP) is synchronized in both directions with it's corresponding category i.e. category name - ECP title, category slug - ECP slug, category description - ECP excerpt.
Enhanced Category posts are deleted when the plugin is deleted using the WordPress plugin management page. Note: nothing is deleted when the plugin deactivated.
Yes, you can pass the category/term id to setup_ec_data method like this ($categories is presumed to be an already fetched array of categories/terms): foreach($categories as $category) { $GLOBALS['enhanced_category']->setup_ec_data($category->term_id); the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); }
Enhanced Category Post (ECP) requires at least PHP 5.3 running on your server. Contact your hosting to update the PHP version.
