AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Taxonomy Filter is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 14 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Taxonomy Filter works
Show full descriptionShow less
Taxonomy Filter is a simple and flexible plugin which allow users to filter hierarchical term taxonomies inside admin pages. If you need to simplify your tags and categories research on admin pages, this plugin will make it easier for you. It adds a custom input field (only for configured taxonomies) that you can use to filter a every taxonomy list.
Imagine having too many tags on your post admin page and having to lose so much time scrolling a long list of items or having to search for a tag with the classic browser search box. With “Taxonomy Filter” plugin you can search, choice and select tags in a very short time, a great gain!
In addition, you have to setup which taxonomies should have “Taxonomy Filter” activated. When you install and activate the plugin, an admin page is added on settings section. In this page are automatically listed all valid taxonomies, you have two options:
enable on post management pages (allow you to turn on/off filter field)
hide filter field if taxonomy is empty
You can also manage taxonomy filters into bulk edit section if you want to perform a quick edit.
If in your theme you have changed post columns using the ‘manage_edit-post_columns’ filter, you need to add another filter to apply the taxonomy filter bulk section.
For example:
add_filter('manage_edit-post_columns', 'taxonomy_filter_manage_bulk_columns', 99, 1); add_filter('manage_edit-<CUSTOM-TYPES>_columns', 'taxonomy_filter_manage_bulk_columns', 99, 1);
It works only with hierarchical taxonomies (both default categories and custom taxonomies).
When you enable a taxonomy filter, a section for choosing hidden taxonomy terms is displayed in user profile page and in term edit pages. In user profile page you can select (for each user) a list of taxonomy terms that are removed from hierarchical term taxonomies inside admin pages.
By default, all taxonomy terms are visible in the hierarchical term taxonomies sections inside admin pages. You can choose only from max 2 nested levels but all the children of a hidden term are automatically removed from admin pages. Keep in mind that the hidden terms are not searchable and filterable.
In edit term page you can select (for all users) if term should be removed (make hidden) from hierarchical term taxonomies inside admin pages.
