  What are taxonomies ?

> Basically, a taxonomy is a way to group things together. […] In WordPress, a “
> taxonomy” is a grouping mechanism for some posts (or links or custom post types).
> 
> The names for the different groupings in a taxonomy are called terms. […] As an
> example from WordPress, a category or tag is a term.
> Since WordPress 2.3, you’ve been able to create your own custom taxonomies, but
> these have been a rarely used feature of WordPress until Version 2.9. In truth,
> they are an extremely powerful way to group various items in all sorts of ways.

  Why won’t the plugin activate ?

Have you read what it says in the beautifully red bar at the top of your plugins
page ? As it says there, the Debug Bar plugin needs to be active for this plugin
to work. If the Debug Bar plugin is not active, this plugin will automatically de-
activate itself.
