I made this sql command: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_METANAMEmeta` ( `meta_id` int(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `METANAME_id` int(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `meta_key` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, `meta_value` longtext, PRIMARY KEY (`meta_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ; Change the "METANAME" according to your meta name. Plus be aware that it creates the table in UTF-8 decoding! Because I wanted to make couple new meta fields for taxonomies and was bored to manually duplicate tables. I made this sql command:

It helped me a lot. You can also save all data into the options table instead of creating new tables in the database. I did the following for my "galleries" taxonomie add_action( 'edited_galleries', 'save_extra_category_fileds', 10, 2); // save extra category extra fields callback function function save_extra_category_fileds( $term_id, $tt_id ) { if ( isset( $_POST['Cat_meta'] ) ) { $t_id = $term_id; $cat_meta = get_option( "category_$t_id"); $cat_keys = array_keys($_POST['Cat_meta']); foreach ($cat_keys as $key){ if (isset($_POST['Cat_meta'][$key])){ $cat_meta[$key] = $_POST['Cat_meta'][$key]; } } //save the option array update_option( "category_$t_id", $cat_meta ); } } //add extra fields to category edit form hook add_action ( 'galleries_edit_form_fields', 'extra_category_fields', 10, 2); //add extra fields to category edit form callback function function extra_category_fields( $tag , $taxonomy) { //check for existing featured ID $t_id = $tag->term_id; $cat_meta = get_option( "category_$t_id"); ?> <input type="text" name="Cat_meta[img]" id="Cat_meta[img]" size="3" style="width:60%;" value=""> <?php } Thanks for all the info!!

I did the following for my “galleries” taxonomie

add_action( ‘edited_galleries’, ‘save_extra_category_fileds’, 10, 2);
// save extra category extra fields callback function
function save_extra_category_fileds( $term_id, $tt_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['Cat_meta'] ) ) {
$t_id = $term_id;
$cat_meta = get_option( “category_$t_id”);
$cat_keys = array_keys($_POST['Cat_meta']);
foreach ($cat_keys as $key){

$cat_meta[$key] = $_POST['Cat_meta'][$key];
}
}
//save the option array
update_option( “category_$t_id”, $cat_meta );
}
}

//add extra fields to category edit form hook
add_action ( ‘galleries_edit_form_fields’, ‘extra_category_fields’, 10, 2);
//add extra fields to category edit form callback function
function extra_category_fields( $tag , $taxonomy) { //check for existing featured ID

I'd recommend to other readers to read this entire article first before you try to follow along. I kept skipping steps thinking I knew what I was doing, only to realize my mistakes were covered further on in the article. Great article!
