How does Word to Taxonomies work?

,

With Word to Taxonomy, a feature of the Professional add-on, WPeMatico assigns a category, tag or any other term automatically when a word you choose appears in the post. For example, every post that mentions “football” goes to the Sports category.

1. Create the General Rules
For all the campaigns.

Go to WPeMatico → Settings → Professional and open the Word to Taxonomy section. Each rule has:

  • The Word to look for. Check on Title to look only in the title, RegEx to use a regular expression, or Case sensitive to match uppercase and lowercase exactly.
  • The post type, the taxonomy and the term to assign.

Click Add New Rule to add more. These rules apply to every campaign that publishes into the post type of the rule.

2. Adjust It in Each Campaign
Optional.

The Word to Taxonomy box of the campaign lets you add rules only for that campaign. The taxonomies you can choose depend on the post type of the campaign, so set it first. Check Ignore Words to Tax in Settings if you want to use only the rules of the campaign and skip the general ones.

Each time the campaign runs, WPeMatico looks for the words in the title or the content of each item and assigns the matching terms to the published post.
