Advanced usage

You can use term_meta functions similar to post_meta function to add / update / get / delete metas

function add_term_meta( $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique = false ) {}

function update_term_meta( $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $prev_value = '' ) {}

function get_term_meta( $term_id, $key = '', $single = false ) {}

function delete_term_meta( $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value = '' ) {}

The documentation is the same as post_meta. You can find it here :

• add_post_meta
• update_post_meta
• get_post_meta
• delete_post_meta

TODO

• Add textarea input type
• Add image input type
• Show the meta in the table listing
• Add term thumbnail
