A way to set default terms for taxonomies. Similar how to the "default category" functionality works, but for any taxonomy.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require britco/wp-default-terms`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
function custom_tax_init() {
  register_taxonomy('custom-tax', array('post'), array(
    'defaults' => array(
        'Foo'
      )
  ));
}

```

You can also specify different defaults for different post types

```
function custom_tax_init() {
  register_taxonomy('custom-tax', array('post', 'custom_post_type'), array(
    'defaults' => array(
        'post' => array(
          'Foo'
        ),
        'custom_post_type' => array(
          'Bar'
        )
      )
  ));
}

```

Also, you can set defaults for already registered taxonomies

```
$taxonomy = get_taxonomy('post_tag');
$taxonomy->defaults->set(array('paper'));

```
