Replace WordPress's default auto-generated taxonomy term archive with a manually created Page. For each term, select the page from a dropdown of all site pages. Good for creating topic landing pages.
Clone or download this repository and add it to the wp-content/plugins directory.
Go to Settings > Archive Pages and choose a page to set as the archive page for each taxonomy term. Pages must already be published.
The plugin uses the Settings API, so users must have 'manage_options' capability.
When a selected page is saved, the term_link filter replaces that page's URL replaces the taxonomy link ( term_link ) so that the user is directed to the taxonomy landing page instead of the auto-generated archive.
The term archive will still exist at its assigned URL, but there will be no WP-generated navigation to it.
Permalinks are automatically flushed when a setting is saved.
The settings page lists all taxonomies that are set to "public" and "show in menu". This includes category, post_tag, and similar custom taxonomies for custom post types. It excludes post_format and other special built-in taxonomies.
