Convert custom fields to tags, categories or taxonomy terms



== Description ==



Custom fields are great for storing various meta data about a post. However, if you routinely need to display posts that have a certain custom field value, you should consider switching to a [custom taxonomy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Taxonomies), which is better suited for grouping posts.



With this simple plugin, you can convert all custom fields with a certain key to terms in a certain taxonomy, while maintaining the post association.
