Category Commander is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by 菅原隆志.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Category Commander is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by 菅原隆志 — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Category Commander works
Show full descriptionShow less
Category Commander helps administrators organize WordPress categories, tags, and supported public custom taxonomies. It combines drag-and-drop ordering, restore history, health checks, guided category organization, CSV backups, click insights, and optional AI suggestions.
The beginner-friendly How to Use screen explains each feature and links directly to the correct page. Every plugin page starts by explaining its purpose, what will and will not change, and the three main steps. Pages are grouped into Basic tasks, Useful tools, and AI features so beginners can find the right screen without learning technical WordPress terms first. Category Organizer previews affected posts, primary categories, hierarchy, archive URLs, and permalink risks before moving all or selected posts, changing a parent, or changing a name or URL. A restore point is saved before applying. Category Organizer does not delete categories: a source category remains in place even when all of its posts are moved. Deleting unused categories is a separate action that requires selection and confirmation.

Privacy and external services AI and Insights are disabled by default. No data is sent to OpenAI automatically. An API request occurs only after an authorized user enables AI and clicks a generation button. A post-editor request may include the current title and body, selected and existing categories and tags, and configured site summaries. Taxonomy planning may include the previewed taxonomy and optional aggregate Insights context. Visitor data, comments, orders, users, passwords, and the API key are not included in prompt content.
The API key is stored with autoload disabled, can instead be defined with CATEGORY_COMMANDER_OPENAI_API_KEY, and can be deleted from AI Settings. The API-free copy tool does not contact an AI service; data is shared only if the editor pastes the prompt into an external service.
Insights stores local daily aggregate category-link counts. It does not store IP addresses, user IDs, or individual browsing histories.
