Editing taxonomies

As long as your theme is using the appropriate template tags, you don't need to do anything.

Default behaviour:

• tag-like taxonomies are edited through a text field with autosuggest - terminput
• category-like taxonomies are edited through a dropdown - termselect

Always use autosuggest

If you would like to use the autosuggest for all taxonomies, paste the following code in your theme's functions.php file:

<?php
function fee_choose_taxonomy_interface( $data ) {
  if ( isset( $data['taxonomy'] ) )
    $data['type'] = 'terminput';

  return $data;
}
add_filter( 'front_end_editor_wrap', 'fee_choose_taxonomy_interface' );

Fine-grained control

If you would like to choose which taxonomy gets which interface, you can do it like so:

<?php
function fee_choose_taxonomy_interface( $data ) {
  if ( isset( $data['taxonomy'] ) ) {
    switch ( $data['taxonomy'] ) {
      case 'taxonomy_a':
        $data['type'] = 'termselect';
        break;
      case 'taxonomy_b':
        $data['type'] = 'terminput';
        break;
      case 'taxonomy_c':
        $data['type'] = 'terminput';
        break;

      // etc.
    }
  }

  return $data;
}
add_filter( 'front_end_editor_wrap', 'fee_choose_taxonomy_interface' );
