The JSM Show Term Metadata plugin is designed for WordPress users seeking a streamlined way to view term metadata, such as categories, tags, and custom taxonomies. By installing and activating this free plugin, users can easily see term meta keys along with their unserialized values in a metabox at the bottom of the term editing page, enhancing the editing experience without requiring any additional configuration. This plugin also integrates with Yoast SEO, allowing users to view its term metadata stored in the WordPress options table, although deletion of this data is not supported since it is not stored in the term meta table.

Developers can take advantage of several filters provided by the plugin for further customization. These include options to filter the displayed metadata, exclude specific meta keys using regular expressions, and set capabilities for displaying or deleting term metadata. Additionally, the plugin allows users to manage term metadata visibility based on taxonomy and offers an icon for the delete term meta button, making it a versatile tool for WordPress site management.
