Filter Post Types by Taxonomy

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 8 months ago; the previous band took 18 months to cross, which places it about 58% of the way through.

   I tried out this plugin but ultimately moved on to another solution for a few reasons: 1) No filters appeared at all on the posts list screen. 2) The filter worked well on the page list screen, but all taxonomies are listed in the same filter. I have two issues with this setup: A) You can only filter by one taxonomy at a time. You can already do this from the taxonomy list screens, so other than the convenience of not needing to navigate to another screen, the filter added by this plugin doesn’t add much in the way of functionality… For me, at least, filters are most useful when they can work together. B) If you have a lot of taxonomies and/or terms per taxonomy, scrolling down the select list can become annoying pretty fast. Multiple filters limit the length of the select list. 3) There are no settings for the plugin, so it’s all or nothing. Allowing users to choose which taxonomy filters to enable per post type would also limit the length of the select list, and remove distracting clutter.
