FAQ

Does this plugin depend on any others?

Not since WordPress 4.4.

Install the WP Term Meta plugin if you're on an earlier version.

Does this create new database tables?

No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.

Does this modify existing database tables?

No. All of WordPress's core database tables remain untouched.

Can I query for terms by their lock?

Yes. Use a meta_query like:

$terms = get_terms( 'category', array(
	'depth'      => 1,
	'number'     => 100,
	'parent'     => 0,
	'hide_empty' => false,

	// Query by lock using the "wp-term-meta" plugin!
	'meta_query' => array( array(
		'key' => 'locks',
	) )
) );

Where can I get support?
