## Description

Change the appearance of a taxonomy’s meta box input in the Edit screen to something
other than the Category checkboxes or Tag free text entry, allowing you to have 
your users easily pick from a predefined set of terms.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The normal Post Categories before transformation, and after; top right as a single
   select dropdown and bottom right as a multiple choice one.
 * [[
 * Term hierarchies are respected by the select dropdowns.
 * [[
 * Turn your Tags into fancy buttons.
 * [[
 * The Settings screen will let you alter any taxonomy which has been set to show
   in the UI.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the **/wp-content/plugins/transform-meta-boxes/** directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Use the Settings -> Transform Meta Boxes screen to configure the plugin, picking
    which taxonomies you want to transform and how.

## FAQ

### How do I add more terms now?

These meta box alternatives remove the ability to freely enter new terms on the 
same Edit screen, meaning you need to add terms on the relevant taxonomy page first.

This is by design, so that it is harder to accidentally end up tagging your posts
with typos or little used terms.

Very good plugin. It has long been looking for such. Correct installation folder.
You have to manually install.
