Post Category Filter (WP Admin)

Post Category Filter allows you to filter your post categories and custom taxonomies by adding a fast and intuitive search box on top of the term lists. As you type, the list updates instantly and shows only the categories or terms that match your query, making navigation quick even on sites with hundreds or thousands of entries. This plugin is designed for users who work with large WordPress websites, complex content structures, or extensive taxonomy sets. Instead of scrolling endlessly through long category lists, you can simply type a few letters and immediately locate the term you need. It provides a smoother editorial workflow and helps reduce time spent searching for the right category during post creation or editing. Post Category Filter works seamlessly inside the WordPress admin interface and supports all public taxonomies, including custom taxonomies created by themes or plugins. It does not modify your categories or database in any way. It simply adds an efficient, lightweight search layer to help you manage and assign terms more effectively. If you maintain a high volume of content, run news or magazine style websites, or organize your posts through detailed taxonomies, this plugin can significantly improve your daily publishing workflow. It is a simple but powerful solution for anyone looking to optimize category management, streamline content editing, and enhance usability in the WordPress admin area. Want to contribute? You can follow the Github repository and submit issues or pull requests.

Bulk Add Terms

Have you ever been frustrated adding more and more categories or tags or any other terms in a rush? Don’t worry anymore. You can add thousands of terms in one go with this plugin. How do I do that? Install the plugin and activate. A new menu called ‘Add Bulk Terms’ will pop up. Click on the menu and you’ll be taken to a new page where you will see all the registered taxonomy either by theme or any plugin. First select a taxonomy which you want to add terms. Then insert the terms in the right side textarea. Make sure each line contains only one term. Click on ‘Add Now’ button. A little confirmation will pop up just to make sure you have inserted everything correctly. Click yes and BOOM. All terms are added. What about nesting parent and child? This plugin supports to do that. You can go and do nesting. You can indent child levels with a dash (-). For example: Foo -Bar -Baz In the example above, ‘foo’ will be parent while ‘bar’ and ‘baz’ will be child of it. You can use correct indent to make even more child of child. Example: Foo -Bar --Baz Complex nesting example: Foo -Child of Foo~~foo-custom-slug --Grand child of Foo~~grand-child-slug -Second child of Foo Baz is sibling of Foo -Nephew of Foo --Grand child of Baz --Second grand child -Son of Baz -Daughter of Baz~~daughter-custom-slug I am a lonely term Do not have child Unfortunately the maximum supported level is as deep as the SEA. Features Unlimited terms per time Unlimited level of nesting Supports any registered taxonomy. (only those which can be added or removed within UI) Uses AJAX request version 2.0 update * Custom slugs for each terms. Use the ~~ symbol to seperate name and slug. * Get all terms from selected taxonomy as a template. Later, use that template to add them to another taxonomy. * Remove all terms that were added by the plugin from selected taxonomy. (Requires at least WordPress 4.4 and plugin version 2.0 when Adding and deleting the terms) Known issues You can’t add child items to those terms which are already added. If you try to do, the given parent item will add as a new term. GitHub repository: https://github.com/sohan5005/bulk-add-terms
