## Description

**Taxonomy Note** allows you to add a customizable “note” input field for every 
taxonomy term assigned to a post.
 When a post type/taxonomy pair is enabled in 
the settings, a dedicated meta box will appear in the post editor showing all assigned
terms, each with its own note field.

This is ideal for:

 * Recipes (ingredients with quantity or notes)
 * Products (attributes with additional info)
 * Events (tags with remarks)
 * Editorial workflows (categories with comments)
 * Any situation where a taxonomy term needs extra per-post context

Notes are stored per post, not globally — so each post can have different notes 
for the same term.

### 🧩 Key Features

 * **Admin Setup Panel** – Choose which post types and taxonomies should show the
   note panel.
 * **Per-Post Notes** – Each post can store different notes for the same taxonomy
   term.
 * **Automatic Cleanup** – If a term is removed from the post, its note disappears
   from the panel.
 * **Lightweight & Non-Intrusive** – Pure WordPress; no JS frameworks required.
 * **Perfect for Recipes** – Works beautifully if an AI or script extracts “ingredients”
   and you need to add quantities manually.
 * **Compatible With Any Theme or Builder** – Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Elementor,
   and others.

### Usage

 1. Edit any post type where you enabled the plugin.
 2. Assign one or more taxonomy terms as usual.
 3. A new **“Notes”** meta box will appear for each selected taxonomy.
 4. Enter any custom text next to each assigned term.
 5. Save the post — notes will be stored automatically.

Notes are saved **only for terms currently assigned to the post**.

### Credits

This plugin was created inside a project for Villa Sostaga.
 Special thanks to Villa
Sostaga for allowing the release as open source. Maintained independently by Matteo
Enna.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/taxonomy-note/`
 2. Activate the plugin from the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Go to **Settings  Taxonomy Note**.
 4. Select the post types and taxonomies where you want the note panel to appear.

## FAQ

### Does removing a term delete its note?

Yes — if a term is no longer assigned to a post, its note is removed from the panel(
and will not be saved).

### Are notes shared across posts?

No. Notes are _per post_, not global per term.

### Can I export or use these notes in the front-end?

Yes. Notes are stored as post meta (`_taxonomy_note_notes_{taxonomy}`) and can be
displayed using:

 * `get_post_meta()`
 * A custom shortcode
 * Your theme files
 * A custom plugin

### Is there any performance impact?

Minimal. Notes are loaded only when editing a post and stored efficiently in post
meta.
