Where do I find this great tool in my wp-admin?

Just go to Tools-> WP Export Cats & Taxs

Essential tool for getting new taxonomies from dev to staging/live

By webaware on September 23, 2024

Once a website has been delivered, any new work in the database needs to be copied across from dev sites to staging and live sites somehow. WordPress has basic support for exporting / importing posts, but if you only want to bring taxonomies across, it has nothing. This handy plugin lets you do that. Nice job, and many thanks!

It may not have been updated in a while, but still working very well on WordPress 6.6 in 2024. There are PHP deprecation warnings in PHP 8.3 (and likely 8.2) but they are only warnings.

Very useful, works as intended

Had to export Woocommerce categories, this plugin was just the perfect tool. The export format can be used with the default WordPress importer, so there is no need to install anything on the importer side.

Great ,simple and working perfectly

I used this plugin to export a custom taxonomy, and it imported into another WordPress installation without any problems.

half the job

It still works in latest WP version but the XML outputs taxonomies as arrays, which are not always well imported by WP. Does no harm in testing, it might be good for you.
