Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/milesimarco/tatepe-taxonomy-term-permissions/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Choose the taxonomy terms in which specific roles or users cannot publish.
Features
- Restrict terms of any taxonomy (categories, tags, custom taxonomies) per role or per single user
- Restricted terms are hidden in the block and classic editor, in the term screens and in the admin filters
- Saves that add a restricted term are refused everywhere: quick edit, bulk edit, REST API, XML-RPC
- Posts assigned to a restricted term are hidden from the admin post lists
- A restricted term also restricts its child terms
- Administrators are never restricted, and the front end is not affected
Installation
Install it from the WordPress admin (Plugins → Add New, search for "TATEPE – Taxonomy Term Permissions") or download it from WordPress.org.
