## Beschrijving

Copy or convert terms between taxonomies.

Taxonomies include categories, tags and any other custom taxonomies that may be 
present with your active theme and plugins.

This plugin, based on Categories to Tags Converter, allows you to copy (duplicate)
or convert (move) terms from one taxonomy to another or to multiple taxonomies, 
while maintaining associated posts.

Love this plugin, especially when importing blogs from other platforms to WordPress
since categories are all imported as tags. Saves me so many hours. Thank you! Also,
still works perfectly with 5.5.3 for me.

It worked perfectly. I couldn’t find another to do this. WordPress has one, but 
it only converts default categories and tags, not taxonomies for other post types.
In my case, I needed it for WooCommerce. After I used it, I read the support and
saw it doesn’t work on php 7. Mine was set to 7.2.27 and I had no issues. I realized
later that I had looked into another plugin called Term Management Tools. That might
work if this one doesn’t.

For starters, the plugin has deprecated code and produces errors on PHP7. Looks 
like the code hasn’t really been touched all that much in many, many years. The 
biggest problem is that when the terms are converted, the term descriptions are 
removed.

I used this to convert about 8 categories to tags. It errored and when I checked
the categories had been deleted but the tags hadn’t been created.
