 * Thank you for the reply and the heads up on the ‘Advanced Custom Fields columns
   add-on’; it does look like what I need.
    I’m I correct when I see that its at
   least $119 just to take advantage of this add-on?!

 * Looks like ACF only saves the taxonomy field as the term ID in the database and
   processes it when it needs to later; hence only the term ID will ever be returned.
 * Admin Column is also not able to return the term object name; saved as an input
   for the custom field.
 * Is this an ACF or Admin Column’s limitation then? Unless for debugging purposes
   why would a user want an ID value returned as a term in an admin column anyway?
   Wouldn’t it be more useful if we could just return the object value as well? 
   🙂
 * Work around suggestions?

 * Is there a hook to modify the returned data? That way one should be able to use
   the get_term_by() function to get the term object?

 * Its obviously because CPT-onomies sees taxonomies as post types. Ultimate Tag
   Cloud only sees taxonomies. Any suggestions on the best way to modify Ultimate
   Tag Cloud to query post_types as taxonomies as well?

 * I appreciate the response. Thanks for the plugin,
 * > What kind of columns would you like to be able to add to the Taxonomy List 
   > Tables?
 * Its more about having the ability to re-label, rearrange & re-width these columns
   as well.
 * > ** I think having the ability to reflect the return value of custom fields 
   from relevant taxonomy & term edit screens would be priceless.**
 * > There are a lot of properties of a custom Taxonomy or Term object that one 
   could need represented in columns. Although WordPress by default only allows 
   a few for example ‘description’, ‘slug’ & ‘id’ I am sure there are hidden ones?
   no?
 * > Example: My term edit admin screen has a custom field entry for an input of
   a term from another taxonomy. It would be nice if the columns associated with
   reflecting terms could also reflect the returned selected terms.
 * Incase you need a custom fields plugin for reference:
    The ** Advanced Custom
   Fields **plugin is by far the best in my views. [http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)
 * **Post Edit screen Columns**
    On a side note or maybe for enhancement considerations;
   really been looking for a plugin that allows more columns in the Post Edit screen
   instead of just 2. These are not also considered columns? :). Closest plugin 
   I found but doesn’t seem to be working: Third Column [http://wordpress.org/plugins/third-column/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/third-column/)

 * as per rumeau:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-support-on-widget?replies=4](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-support-on-widget?replies=4)
 * We understand the suggested solution is to set the ‘yarpp_support’ attribute 
   to ‘true’ when registering custom post types. But is it not evident that this
   solution is not ideal for everyone?
 * I’m I wrong when I say Custom Post Types are barely defined explicitly by coding
   the functions.php anymore? That there are plugins that do a better job at this
   for Admins? Further more the YARPP plugin doesn’t even allow the overwriting 
   of already registered custom post types; so how is explicitly registering the
   custom post types even a solution? Its merely just a workaround that ‘might’ 
   work, hence clearly only works for some.
 * Dear Author.. great plugin, but please revise your suggested solution for custom
   post types.
 * Thanks
