TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is meant for WordPress developers who need to attach thumbnails to taxonomy terms. It provides a UI, template tags, and data storage options for adding and retrieving term thumbnails, since WordPress has no built-in way to associate images with taxonomy terms.

  • Add thumbnail to taxonomy terms
  • Thumbnail column in terms list
  • Uses WP 3.5+ media window
  • Accessibility enhancements with wp.a11y.speak()
  • Works without JavaScript
  • AJAX thumbnail setting via JavaScript
  • Filterable taxonomy list for UI
  • Template tags for term thumbnails

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Taxonomy Thumbnail

If you use WordPress 4.4 or greater you don't need to. Otherwise, I think it's the proper way to store this kind of data. Post thumbnails are stored in post metas, right? So term thumbnails should be stored in term metas. But it requires a plugin, WordPress does not provide a term metas system before 4.4. On the other hand, I don't want to force you to use a dependency, so I wanted my plugin to also work without it.
Nope, it will not happen, imho there is no point to do so.
Eventually, try the WordPress support forum.
