AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes is a category-leading 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. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. 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
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by runthings.dev — established developer track record

How Taxonomy Tags to Checkboxes works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin lets you swap the auto-complete / search style interface for a checkbox list, without changing any underlying data.
It allows you to pick from a list of the existing tags, so that admin users do not need to remember each tag.
It can optionally allow new terms to be added directly from the post editing UI, while still letting you keep this disabled by default.
Features
Replace the tags ui with a checkbox list
No alteration to front end functionality, or the underlying data / terms
Option to control the height of the taxonomy metabox, between default (200px max), full, and custom (px)
Optional inline add control for new terms, enabled per taxonomy
Optional link to the taxonomy edit screen via an “+ Add / Edit {taxonomy}” style link
Optional per-taxonomy search box with Off, Always, and Min Terms modes
