Bulk Term Generator – Import multiple tags, categories, and taxonomies easily
Description
Are you tired of manually adding terms in WordPress one by one? Do you find CSV import plugins complex and restrictive? Enter Bulk Term Generator – a revolutionary WordPress plugin designed to streamline and simplify your taxonomy management process.
Bulk Term Generator allows you to seamlessly import multiple terms to your selected taxonomies in WordPress. Its powerful yet easy-to-use interface lets you copy and paste your terms, queue them up, and even select a parent term for hierarchy. No need for pre-formatted CSV files or meticulous manual entry. You can even specify the slug and description for each term, making your content even more search-friendly.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Bulk Term Generator gives you total control before you import your terms. With its unique ‘Preview’ feature, you can see exactly how your terms will be added and make any necessary changes before hitting the final “Generate Terms” button. Plus, you can edit or delete any queued term at any point with just a click.
Bulk Term Generator has been lauded as a ‘lifesaver’ and a ‘developer’s dream’ by our users, and we are confident you will think the same:
“It saved me DAYS of terms input! This plugin is the number one tool for developers.” – LuciaRed

“I tried a few other plugins to bulk add taxonomy terms but none of them were intuitive. This plugin is the only one that you’ll ever need. It does everything I expected and more!” – Andrew Schultz

No, this plugin is currently for adding new terms only. We may add this feature in the future.
This plugin lets you set the slug and description for each term, but not other meta fields.
Bulk Term Generator doesn’t support importing terms directly from CSV files or external data sources. However, you can copy and paste your terms into the plugin’s interface, making it quick and convenient to import them.
Currently, Bulk Term Generator doesn’t have a built-in scheduling feature to automate term imports at specific intervals. Let us know if you’d like to see this feature added in the future.
Yes, Bulk Term Generator allows you to create hierarchical term structures by specifying parent terms during the import process. This feature simplifies the creation of complex taxonomies with nested terms.
No, currently the only way to import terms is to select a single taxonomy first. However, you can import terms into multiple taxonomies by repeating the import process for each taxonomy.
No, Bulk Term Generator is primarily focused on importing terms into WordPress. It doesn’t provide an export functionality. For exporting terms, you may consider using other WordPress plugins or built-in WordPress export tools.

Essential for initial creation of terms

This is the fastest and most intuitive way to create terms. If you already have spreadsheets with your terms, you can easily copy and paste the CSV values as long as the columns are in the right order: Term, Slug, Description. One term per line.
With other plugins, there is a bit of a learning curve (such as with ACF or Pods). If you need more advanced functionality, you need one of those plugins. Pods has a similar bulk term generator within a given pod field, but it's not as user friendly or easy to access.
You can even bulk create terms as a children of a parent term.
Custom Post Type UI is a good companion plugin for this if you want an easy way to create custom taxonomies. There's essentially no learning curve and they do exactly what they are supposed to, nothing more. The two of these plugins are user-friendly, easy to use, and fast to work with.
I have tried several plugins, and this one seems irreplaceable. I haven't found anything comparable.
Absolute time saver

Time and money saver!

The plugin works great. It adds bulk adding features to the taxonomy terms configuration that I was not able to find anywhere else except for potentially with some paid plugins. It is easy to use, and it saves a lot of time configuring those post tags, product attributes, categories...
