Categories Metabox Enhanced

बिबरन

Thanks to Taxonomy_Single_Term, a library created by WebDevStudios, it made my work much easier on creating this plugin.

With Categories Metabox Enhanced, you can:

  • Change the built-in Categories metabox/panel to a single term UI, which means replacing the checkboxes with radio buttons or a select drop-down.
  • Apply the single term UI to other hierarchical taxonomies in the plugin’s Settings page.
  • Customized the single term UI by setting these options:
    • Priority and position of the metabox placement.
    • Title of the metabox.
    • If child-terms should be indenting.
    • If adding of new terms from the metabox is enable.

Screenshots

  • The checkboxes in Categories metabox are replaced with radio buttons

Installation

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

This plugin is perfect it saves me to create a CMS because of enforcing select only one category every post! . . Thanks, Author :))

Clever solution IMHO that this plugin simply replaces the default meta boxes with its own. Unfortunately in WP 5 Gutenberg the default category / taxonomy meta boxes still are visible.

This plugin is easy to use and just works 🙂 Replace checkboxes for radios! FTW

I’ve used this plugin on multiple sites for years. It works great and keeps editors from placing things in multiple categories. Although I understand that not everyone uses categories the same way, it feel like WordPress should have a setting that forces categories to be one per post. In my use, tags are better suited when you have a variety of ways you want to classify a post. It would be nice to be able to specify a default category, though.
