### 󠀁[Proceed with caution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/proceed-with-caution/)󠁿

This worked brilliantly for colour-coding the categories, which is what I wanted.
Unfortunately it made a weird salad of my taxonomy: child categories attached themselves
to different parents, it wiped out my category descriptions and stuck a whole bunch
of unwanted “meta” boxes above the actual SEO fields. It looks like something the
author wrote for a particular purpose or website; perhaps they should have tested
it in a wider variety of environments. Since activating this plugin, I’ve been getting
a debug warning that has something to do with taxonomies. I’m off to repair everything–
and hand-code my category colours. If nothing else, the Category Extra showed me
this can be done fairly simply, so I’m grateful for that.
