# Advanced Term Fields

A framework for managing custom meta fields for categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.

With the launch of version 4.4, WordPress added metadata capabilities for taxonomy terms.  Advanced Term Fields leverages this new capability by providing developers an easy-to-use, yet powerful framework for adding custom meta fields to taxonomy terms.

Through the use of hooks and filters, it's completely customizable for your project requirements, while also providing a standardized way of building a UI for managing term metadata.

Use it for tags, categories, even custom taxonomies!
