Taxonomy Note allows you to add a customizable “note” input field for every taxonomy term assigned to a post.
When a post type/taxonomy pair is enabled in the settings, a dedicated meta box will appear in the post editor showing all assigned terms, each with its own note field.
This is ideal for:
- Recipes (ingredients with quantity or notes)
- Products (attributes with additional info)
- Events (tags with remarks)
- Editorial workflows (categories with comments)
- Any situation where a taxonomy term needs extra per-post context
Notes are stored per post, not globally — so each post can have different notes for the same term.
???? Key Features
- Admin Setup Panel – Choose which post types and taxonomies should show the note panel.
- Per-Post Notes – Each post can store different notes for the same taxonomy term.
- Automatic Cleanup – If a term is removed from the post, its note disappears from the panel.
- Lightweight & Non-Intrusive – Pure WordPress; no JS frameworks required.
- Perfect for Recipes – Works beautifully if an AI or script extracts “ingredients” and you need to add quantities manually.
- Compatible With Any Theme or Builder – Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor, and others.
Usage
- Edit any post type where you enabled the plugin.
- Assign one or more taxonomy terms as usual.
- A new “Notes” meta box will appear for each selected taxonomy.
- Enter any custom text next to each assigned term.
- Save the post — notes will be stored automatically.
Notes are saved only for terms currently assigned to the post.
