= Feature #1. Create and Manage Taxonomies =
TaxoPress can manage all the taxonomies created by WordPress and your plugins and themes. You can change the settings for each taxonomy. For example, you can change the visual labels, and control whether the taxonomy is organized in parent-child relationships. You can also assign your taxonomies to different post types.

= Feature #2. How to Show Related Posts =
TaxoPress can display posts that are related to the current post. This feature works by checking for shared taxonomy terms. If your post has the terms “Vegetables” and “Food”, then this feature will likely display other posts that also have the terms “Vegetables” and “Food”. The more terms that are shared, the more likely a post is to show.

* With a shortcode.

= Feature #5. How to Automatically Create Terms =
This feature allows WordPress to examine your post content and title for specified terms and automatically add those terms as Tags. Here’s an example of how it works:
* You add “WordPress” to the keywords list in TaxoPress.
* If your post content or title contains the word “WordPress”, then TaxoPress will automatically add “WordPress” as a term for this post.

= Feature #6. How to Automatically Suggest Terms =
The Suggested Tags feature in TaxoPress will analyze your WordPress content and suggest Tags that you can add to your post. The default option is “Local Tags”. These are Tags that have already been created on your site. It is possible to use APIs to automatically suggest Tags for your content. The Dandelion API and OpenCalais API integrations can analyze your Posts and Pages and automatically make suggestions for new Tags.
