My $address variable is not being recognized.

Even updated: get_metadata( 'venues', $tag->term_id, 'address', true );

Seems that $tag isn't recognized.

This doesn't help either: if ( empty( $tag ) ) $tag = 'venues';

Thinking because my custom meta is in another table, it's not grabbing it.

$venues = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT venues_id FROM $wpdb->venuesmeta WHERE meta_key = address" );

$address = get_metadata( 'venues', $venues->venue_id, 'address', true );

BTW, there ARE underscores in those comments where some stuff if normal then italic.. (??)

I think that this is a very good feature. It allows you to control the terms that are used in your taxonomy, so you can make sure that your content is only indexed by the terms that you want. You can visit [Metaverse Enteprise Solutions](https://madridproductions.co/) for further details. I don't know if it's possible to do this through SQL or not, but it would be nice if it was.

I think it's a good idea to have the option to enable or disable this feature. The problem with this feature is that it is not very clear which columns can be used as taxonomy meta. Try this [pool openings long island](https://www.majesticpoolinc.com/) for more ideas. The documentation of WordPress doesn't say anything about this feature and so I had to dig into the code. I think that it would be better if there was an option in the admin panel to define exactly which columns can be used for meta.
