Post Category Filter (WP Admin) vs Desktop Mode

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?

The project has been revived with the intention of ensuring long-term stability, modern compatibility, and responsible maintenance while preserving the core functionality that made the original plugin widely used.

Desktop Mode renders /wp-admin as a desktop operating system. Admin screens open as draggable, resizable, minimizable windows on a desktop, with a left-edge dock built from the admin menu. The classic admin stays untouched for everyone else, and deactivating the plugin restores vanilla Core exactly. Built and maintained by Automattic — the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce, and Tumblr. Zero Core patches: every feature is wired through public WordPress hooks. Highlights Per-user opt-in. An admin-bar toggle flips a user-meta flag; nobody else sees any change. Window system. Iframe windows load admin pages chromelessly. Native windows render directly in the parent DOM via a public registration API. Both share drag, resize, minimize, maximize, fullscreen, and detach-to-new-tab. Dock + taskbar. Left-edge dock for core menus; bottom macOS-style pill taskbar for plugin menus. Letter-badge icon fallback for plugins without icon art. Virtual desktops (“Spaces”). Multiple desktops per user, each with its own window set. Overview grid surfaces the Spaces switcher and thumbnails. Arrange & snap. Cascade, Tile, Overview, Snap-to-grid. Plugins contribute custom entries. Wallpaper & widget registries. Server- and client-side registration. CSS presets plus canvas (WebGL/2D) wallpapers with collision-aware surface data for snow/rain/physics effects. Desktop icons. Wallpaper-layer shortcuts that open native windows or admin URLs. AI Copilot (optional). Cmd+K palette backed by an agentic loop with built-in search tools. Disabled until you supply an API key. See “External services” below. Slash commands & palettes. Public registration APIs for plugin authors. Cross-frame drag bridge. Media-library attachments drag across iframe boundaries. Session persistence. Window stack (including desktops, focus, state) restored across reloads. i18n. Full gettext coverage across PHP and TypeScript; Spanish translation shipped. For plugin authors Desktop Mode is built to be extended. Every significant behavior is hookable — add a desktop icon, register a dock item, gate desktop mode by role, react to window events, or register a native window, all from your own plugin with zero patches here. Comprehensive PHP and JavaScript hook surface, plus stable desktop_mode_register_* functions for windows, widgets, wallpapers, icons, window tabs, commands, settings tabs, and AI tools. See the developer docs on GitHub. External services This plugin’s optional AI Copilot sends data to OpenAI (https://api.openai.com/v1/responses) when, and only when, an administrator configures an OpenAI API key in Settings → AI. With no key configured, no external requests are made. When the AI Copilot is enabled and a user invokes it (via Cmd+K or the slash-command palette): What is sent: the user’s prompt, the conversation history for the active session, the chosen model identifier (e.g. gpt-4o-mini), and tool-call metadata. The plugin’s built-in tools (search_posts, search_pages, search_comments) run WordPress’s native keyword search and may include excerpts of the matching posts/pages/comments in tool results, which are then sent back to OpenAI as part of the agentic loop. When it is sent: on user-initiated AI requests, and (if enabled) on comment-save hooks for spam analysis. Comment spam analysis runs server-side as part of the comment-insert flow. Posts, pages, and taxonomy terms are not sent automatically. Why it is sent: to obtain model completions and tool-call decisions that drive the AI Copilot. Who provides the service: OpenAI, L.L.C. — see the OpenAI Terms of Use and the OpenAI Privacy Policy. The AI Copilot’s provider layer is also extensible: third-party plugins may register additional providers via desktop_mode_register_ai_provider(). Those providers may send data to other endpoints; review each plugin’s own privacy disclosure separately. No other external services are contacted by this plugin. Credits Desktop Mode is brought to you by Automattic. The plugin is open source under GPLv2-or-later; contributions are welcome on GitHub. Third-party libraries The plugin bundles the following third-party JavaScript library, loaded on demand only when a feature that needs it is in use: PixiJS (MIT License) — used by the interactive OS Settings → About scene, the Content Graph window, and built-in canvas wallpapers (e.g. the animated WordPress logo). PixiJS is loaded from the plugin’s own assets/vendor/ directory; no CDN requests are made.
