Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Real Category Management: Content Management in Category Folders

Yes, we support WordPress 5.x and regularly update Real Category Management to support future versions.

Real Category Management uses the standardized WordPress taxonomies and offers you a better interface to manage your content. Therefore, existing taxonomies like categories for posts or product color for WooCommerce products can be used and all information will also be available, should you uninstall our plugin.

For example, if your theme adds a new custom post type like "Movies", but without a taxonomy (e.g. category), you can't order the movies for now. You have to create a taxonomy first. Real Category Management can't do that. However, we have created an integration with the popular plugin Custom Post Type UI . With this plugin you can easily create taxonomies.

We offer a knowledge base and fast support on our website. Please feel free to open a support ticket if you have questions, issues or feedback about the plugin. We love to make Real Category Management better!

Yes, Real Category Management can be used for posts for free. If you want to organize your content in custom post types like WooCommerce products, LearnPress content, bbPress forums, you need the PRO version. Learn more about the PRO version. Inspection of plugin source files Most plugin files (PHP, templates, assets) are in the ZIP in human-friendly, unprocessed form (soure files). The plugin’s JavaScript/TypeScript is bundled (e.g. by Webpack) from plugin-specific packages and third-party open source to produce build files. Each build ends with //# sourceMappingURL=… to source maps with the original, human-readable code; these maps are public and the included source code can be inspected by anyone directly in your browser, if you have installed the plugin. To conveniently view the complete codebase of the consumed script in e.g. Chromium/Google Chrome, open ⋮ > More tools > Developer tools > ⋮ (in DevTools) > Settings > Preferences > Sources and enable "JavaScript source maps", "CSS source maps", and "Allow DevTools to load resources, such as source maps, from remote file paths". Reload, then open DevTools > Sources > "devowl-local-files" to inspect all readable sources. Source maps are hosted outside the ZIP to keep size manageable; otherwise the plugin could exceed limits of web hosts and become non-installable. The repository with all source files can be do be inspected by anyone at assets.devowl.io/wordpress-plugins-source-code.zip. Please check out the README.md in the repository to learn how to get started! For details on the data procession of our servers, please read devowl.io/privacy-policy.
