Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Auto Describe Taxonomies version 1.1.4 as active, updated 13y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.4.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin will auto-describe your post tags or your wordpress categories using freebase.

All you have to do after enabling it is to watch it work!

If you dont see any tag description or category description in your frontend tag/category pages, make sure your wordpress theme is displaying them!

Note

*With no word from Dan Fratean since February, I have decided to clone his script and fix it. Having added some sanity checks and a missing array expansion, the plugin now works. Near as I can tell, he was working on an upgrade when something “happened” and he suddenly dropped development.

*If you have Dan Frateans Auto Describe Tags, I suggest uninstalling it prior to installing Auto Describe Taxonomies as it will do the same thing and there is no sense in having two describing engines running on your installation.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
