Feature Request - Migrate to term_meta for Yoast SEO Metabox on Terms pages

[garretthyder]

Hello,

With Wordpress 4.4 term meta can now be handled through add_term_meta, etc and no longer needs to be an array within the options table.

Just wanted to prompt moving towards term_meta so as to make it easier to get/update yoast meta fields through php get_term_meta, update_term_meta, etc.

Much appreciated,
Cheers

👍 . Term meta has been around for a long time now. Term meta is a much better place to store this data and would be a performance win as well.

Storing it in options means that all this term meta will be autoloaded on every page. This is wasteful for sites with lots of terms. Term meta is lazy loaded in WP_Query.

@moorscode didn't we do this already? If not, queue it.

As we are working towards implementing an ORM and some additional Yoast-tables which will hold the meta information instead, implementing this step would be a waste of effort.

We will be removing the data from the options table in due time.
