Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes

Go to the Taxonomies settings page, select the desired taxonomies, configure height options, and enable the edit link if needed.

No change is made to the underlying taxonomy or its terms. Only the admin interface is swapped out.

Yes, toggle the "Show system taxonomies" checkbox to view all available taxonomies.

The configuration screen needs a user with manage_options cap to edit it, but the changes are applied to anyone with editor access to post types that display those taxonomies.
