 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. You will see a new menu item called “Tainacan” in your admin panel
 4. Click on it to open the Tainacan admin interface and start creating your collections

**Requirements:**

 * WordPress 5.9 or higher
 * PHP 7.0 or higher
 * For automatic PDF thumbnail generation, Imagick is recommended (but not required)

## FAQ

### How do I get started?

After installation, click on the “Tainacan” menu item in your WordPress admin panel.
You can create your first collection by clicking “New Collection”, configure its
metadata and filters, and start adding items to your collection.

For an overview of the main concepts, visit our [documentation](https://tainacan.github.io/tainacan-wiki/#/general-concepts).

### Can I use Tainacan with any WordPress theme?

Yes! Tainacan works with any WordPress theme, but developers can improve their integration.
If you want more dedicated page templates we recommend using the [Tainacan Interface](https://wordpress.org/themes/tainacan-interface)
theme, which is our classic theme that meets the demands of most collections. But
you can also try using an FSE theme such as [Tainá](https://wordpress.org/themes/taina/),
or install an [integration plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tainacan-blocksy/)
for a popular theme such as [Blocksy](https://wordpress.org/themes/blocksy/).

### How do I browse my collections on the public side?

Visit `https://your-site/collections` to see the list of your collections. You can
also add links to the collections in your menu by editing it and enabling “Collections”
in the Screen options.

### Can I import data from other systems?

Yes! Tainacan supports importing bulk data from CSV spreadsheets. You can also use
bulk editing tools to perform adaptations from your system modeling to the one you
created in Tainacan.

### Does Tainacan have an API?

Yes! Tainacan implements a complete RESTful API (read and write) that allows other
applications to interact with your repository. You can expose your collection in
different formats such as JSON, CSV, and HTML.

### What metadata standards are supported?

Tainacan allows you to define your own metadata standards by adopting a variety 
of types (text, relationship, numeric, date, geocoordinate etc.), but also supports
predefined ones including Dublin Core and INBCM. Even when creating your own, you
can still define mappers to other standards, allowing you to export to other systems.

### What are taxonomies and how do I use them?

Taxonomies in Tainacan are vocabularies that can be used across all your collections.
You can configure taxonomy metadata with a set of hierarchical terms of your own
vocabulary. This allows you to create controlled vocabularies that can be reused
throughout your repository, ensuring consistency across different collections.

### How do I use Gutenberg blocks with Tainacan?

Tainacan offers several Gutenberg blocks so you can present your collections in 
many different ways! You can display items, collections, search interfaces, and 
more. Simply add the blocks to your posts and pages through the WordPress block 
editor.

### Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?

We take security very seriously. Please report any security bugs found in the source
code of the Tainacan plugin through the [Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/tainacan).
The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify
the developers of this plugin.

### I’m getting 404 errors or blank pages when accessing my collection

After site migration, plugin updates, or new installations, you may need to rebuild
WordPress permalinks. If collections or pages are returning 404 errors despite already
having items on it, go to **Settings** -> **Permalinks** in your WordPress admin
panel, ensure “Post Name” or a Custom Structure with /%postname%/ is selected, then
click **Save Changes** (even if nothing changed). This will rebuild the permalink
structure.

### 󠀁[Great plugin for libraries and cultural institutions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-for-libraries-and-cultural-institutions/)󠁿

 [jorgemet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jorgemet/) 10 de Marzo de 2025

Arguably the best WordPress plugin for digital collections of libraries and cultural
institutions. I have successfully implemented it for several repository projects
in Uruguay.

 [Yura Shkoda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yurashkoda/) 21 de Enero de 2023

Now I have a repository with no "server headaches" like with Dspace, for example,
and near the same functionality. I think this beautiful plugin opens a future for
the digital repositories, at least for my library. Thank you!

Parfait pour inventorier, documenter et surtout présenter vos collection d’objets
et d'images. D'une petite association historique à un grand musée, tout le monde
trouve son usage <3

Uma solução robusta e poderosa para criação e gestão de repositórios digitais, sem
perder a sutileza de ser altamente intuitivo e customizável. O Tainacan tem a potência
de se adaptar a qualquer documentação/inventariado legado, sendo perfeito para qualquer
instituição. Desenvolvimento invejável <3

I found this plugin very handy to use. I could set up a digital library with it 
in a few weeks, and now it came into production. The team is very responsive.
