## Beschreibung

This plugin allows you to select your „From“, and „To“ Taxonomies, to convert all
terms. Optionally select a parent term to limit terms to switch. Typing term names
will do a live search of terms with the name you are typing AND possess child terms.

Plugin also has built-in support for [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/). In the command
line, type in `wp taxonomy-switcher` for instructions.

[Plugin is on GitHub](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/taxonomy-switcher). Pull 
Requests and Forks welcome.

### Notes

Please keep in mind, if parent isn’t set, or you don’t specify a comma-separated
list of term ids to migrate, it will migrate _all_ terms for that taxonomy to the
new taxonomy.

[Pluginize](https://pluginize.com/?utm_source=taxonomy-switcher&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=wporg)
was launched in 2016 by [WebDevStudios](https://webdevstudios.com/) to promote,

### 󠀁[Really useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-useful-330/)󠁿

A really useful plugin for when you realise you need to refine your data structure.
Works like a charm, switching terms between categories, tags and custom taxonomies.
