Taxonomy Filter

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 99% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Hi, Andrea I installed the plugin. But I can’t add Widgets. What is the reason of this? How can I add? I can add some of my pages. I cannot add on some pages. I could not understand where the problem originated. Can you help?

   This is now in one of my TOP plugins list Easy to use, set the Taxonomies you want it to work in and then in the back-end creating a post or listing, just start typing the name of the Tax and automatically appears. Great work.

   This is all I need to ease me the stress on a project I am working on that has so many items and sub-items in the taxonomy. This your plugin did it for me. So so happy for this your plugin. I really like how it filters; the parent-child items. So beautiful and amazing. God Bless you guys behind this amazing and awesome plugin. THANK YOU!

   I had high hopes. I simply wanted to add drop-down menus at the top of my custom post type bulk edit pages that allowed filtering by custom taxonomy. This seems to offer exactly that. Got “movies” as your post type? Add a selector to filter by the “genre” taxonomy, and another to filter by the “decade” taxonomy, and another by “production studio.” I installed it, and followed directions, until it told me to go to individual user pages and select taxonomy terms that I want to display … wait, what? What is this doing? Why is it user-dependent? Why would I have to choose a finite number of terms? Ultimately I was unable to get this to do anything. It appears that I do not actually understand the plugin, and I will place that on it being poorly presented. It looks like the publisher might be speaking English as a second language, which also makes the purpose of this plugin a little difficult to discern. Some screen shots and examples would go a long way.

   My client has a very deep hierarchy with several custom taxonomies and soooo many terms. This plugin saved the day. I just installed it, selected some taxonomies, and MAGIC HAPPENED! What I love most: If I search for a child term, the parents are still displayed. I like this because I’d prefer the parents are tagged with the children, and also it helps give some context to the results. Anyway, thank you! You have made my day happy.

   sorry, one star because it simply didn’t do anything. It just listed my parent taxonomies (why adding a filter on parent taxonomies?) and it didn’t allow the creation of relations between CPTs (it didn’t even detect CPTs). As a matter of fact, it simply didn’t create any filter in my edit-screens.

   Thank you for this very nice plugin. It is simple to use and configure. I recently encountered a need for some enhancements and created a plugin based on yours and thought I’d share it with the community.
