## Beskrivelse

**Taxonomy CSV Import Export** is the complete admin toolkit for managing WordPress
taxonomies and users through CSV files. Import hundreds of terms in seconds, export
any taxonomy with a single click, build custom taxonomies without writing a line
of code, and manage your entire user base — all from a clean, modern admin interface.

Whether you are migrating a site, seeding a staging environment, bulk-editing taxonomy
terms, or onboarding users, this plugin removes the manual work entirely.

Works with every taxonomy WordPress supports: built-in categories and tags, WooCommerce
product categories, and any custom taxonomy registered by a theme or plugin.

#### 🗂️ Feature 1 — CSV Export

Export any registered taxonomy to a structured CSV file in one click.

**What it does:**
 Select a taxonomy from the dropdown, optionally preview the full
term list in a table, then download the CSV. The exported file includes every term’s
name, slug, description, and parent slug so the data is ready to import into any
other WordPress site.

**Use cases:**
 * Back up all taxonomy terms before a major site update * Migrate
categories or tags from a staging site to production * Hand off a taxonomy list 
to a content team for bulk editing in Excel or Google Sheets * Archive taxonomy 
data as part of a site documentation process

**Exported columns:** `name`, `slug`, `description`, `parent_slug`

#### 🔍 Feature 2 — Export Preview

See exactly what will be exported before the file downloads.

**What it does:**
 Click **Preview** to load a live table of all terms for the selected
taxonomy — name, slug, description, and parent slug — directly on the page. No download
needed to verify the data.

**Use cases:**
 * Confirm the correct taxonomy is selected before downloading * 
Spot missing descriptions or broken parent relationships before handing off data*
Show a client or team member what data exists without needing to open a spreadsheet

#### 📥 Feature 3 — CSV Import

Bulk-import taxonomy terms from any CSV file with automatic hierarchy resolution.

**What it does:**
 Upload a CSV file with a `name` column (plus optional `slug`,`
description`, and `parent_slug`). The importer processes every row, creates the 
term, links it to its parent by slug, and shows a per-term results table — created,
updated, skipped, or failed — when complete.

**Use cases:**
 * Populate a brand-new site with hundreds of categories from a spreadsheet*
Migrate taxonomy terms from another CMS or platform exported as CSV * Re-import 
an edited export file after a content team has updated descriptions in Excel * Seed
a development or staging environment to match the production taxonomy structure *
Sync taxonomy terms across multiple WordPress installations

**Supported CSV columns:** `name` (required), `slug`, `description`, `parent_slug`

#### 🏷️ Feature 4 — Register Custom Taxonomy

Create and persist custom taxonomies from the WordPress admin — zero code required.

**What it does:**
 Fill in a label, singular label, slug, and optional description.
Choose the taxonomy type — **Tags** (non-hierarchical, like post tags) or **Categories**(
hierarchical, like post categories). Select the post types to attach it to. Click
Register. The taxonomy is saved to the database and re-registered automatically 
on every page load.

**Use cases:**
 * Build a «Genres» taxonomy for a movie review site without editing`
functions.php` * Add a «Topics» taxonomy to a knowledge base that attaches to both
posts and pages * Let a non-developer client set up their own taxonomy structure
during onboarding * Quickly prototype a custom post type taxonomy during theme development*
Replace hardcoded taxonomy registrations with a UI-managed alternative that survives
theme switches

**Options:** Label, Singular Label, Slug, Description, Type (Tags / Categories),
Post Types

#### ✏️ Feature 5 — Create Term

Add new terms to any taxonomy directly from the admin — no page reload.

**What it does:**
 The Create Term page shows an accordion list of every registered
taxonomy. Expand a taxonomy row, type a term title and optional description, and
click **Create Term**. The term is saved instantly via AJAX and a confirmation message
appears in place — the page never reloads.

**Use cases:**
 * Quickly add a handful of new tags or categories without navigating
to the taxonomy list screen * Let an editor add terms to a custom taxonomy they 
do not have full edit access to * Add terms to multiple taxonomies in a single session
without switching between admin screens * Test that a newly registered custom taxonomy
is working before importing data into it

#### 👥 Feature 6 — User Import & Export

Export and import WordPress users by role with a clean two-panel interface.

**What it does:**
 The Users page is split into two side-by-side panels. The Export
panel lets you select one or more user roles using checkboxes (or export all users
if none are selected) and download a CSV. The Import panel accepts a CSV file and
creates or updates user accounts automatically.

**Use cases:**
 * Export all Editor-role users before transferring a site to a new
host * Back up your entire user database as a CSV for offline storage * Migrate 
users from one WordPress site to another without a full database export * Onboard
a large number of new users by preparing a CSV and importing in one step * Re-import
updated user data after a team has edited roles or details in a spreadsheet

#### ✅ Why Choose This Plugin?

 * **Zero configuration** — activate and start working immediately, no settings 
   page needed
 * **Preview before download** — verify export data in a table before committing
   to a file
 * **Full hierarchy support** — parent–child term relationships preserved on import
   and export
 * **No-code taxonomy builder** — register custom taxonomies entirely through the
   admin UI
 * **Role-aware user export** — filter users by one or more roles or export everyone
   at once
 * **AJAX-powered** — term creation and export preview happen without page reloads
 * **PHP 8.4 compatible** — no deprecated-function warnings on the latest PHP release
 * **Translation ready** — all user-facing strings use WordPress i18n functions

#### Who Is This For?

 * **Site administrators** who need to migrate or back up taxonomy data without 
   developer help
 * **WordPress developers** seeding staging environments or prototyping taxonomy
   structures quickly
 * **Content managers** responsible for maintaining large category or tag libraries
 * **Agency teams** delivering client sites that require custom taxonomy structures
   built in the admin
 * **WooCommerce store owners** managing large product category trees

#### How It Works

 2. **Export** — select a taxonomy, click Preview to review, then Export CSV to download
 3. **Import** — switch to the Import tab, upload your CSV, and click Import CSV

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### Which taxonomies are supported?

All taxonomies registered in WordPress — built-in (category, post_tag) and custom
ones from any theme or plugin, including WooCommerce product categories.

### Can I import terms with parent–child relationships?

Yes. Include a `parent_slug` column in your CSV. The importer resolves the parent
by slug automatically.

### Does this work with large CSV files?

Yes. The importer processes rows one at a time so memory usage stays flat regardless
of file size.

### Is it compatible with PHP 8.4?

Yes. The deprecated `escape` parameter for `fputcsv()` and `str_getcsv()` has been
removed to eliminate warnings on PHP 8.4.

### Can I create a custom taxonomy without writing code?

Yes. Use the **Register Taxonomy** page to create, name, and attach a taxonomy to
any post type directly from the admin UI.

Works like a dream with one click! I had a custom taxonomy (created with ACF Pro)
with about 70 items on one site and needed to copy all of them over to a second 
site. This plugin literally allowed me to do that in less than 1 minute. Awesome,
awesome plugin—best one like it in the WP world right now. Huge thanks to Md.Rakib
Hossen for creating it and making it available. I hope this plugin takes off and
gets 100k installations!

This plugin makes managing taxonomies so much easier. Importing and exporting categories,
tags, and even custom taxonomies with a simple CSV saves me a lot of time. The interface
is straightforward — no complex setup, just install and start using.

I recently used this plugin, and I have to say—it works perfectly! Importing and
exporting CSV files was smooth and hassle-free. Everything worked right away without
any extra setup, which saved me a lot of time. The plugin is simple, easy to use,
and does exactly what it promises. I was able to manage my site data quickly and
without confusion. Honestly, it’s one of the most useful plugins I’ve tried, and
I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a straightforward solution for taxonomy
CSV import/export.
