Renaming a default taxonomy field (‘description’) in WordPress

6 Views

I’d like to either utilize the description field in a custom taxonomy I’m building but rename it to bio, or remove description altogether and create the new field on my own.

Any idea what I need to do either of these?

  1. What about this jQuery hack? Place it in functions.php of your theme or create a simple plugin:

    function rename_category_description() { 
    global $current_screen;
    if ( $current_screen->id == 'edit-category' ) { ?>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery('document').ready(function() {
            jQuery("label[for='tag-description']").text("Bio");
        });
        </script>
<?php }
}
add_action('admin_head', 'rename_category_description');
