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?

Easy
Easy is a multi-functional widget covering most of the native WordPress functions commonly used in templates. You can place almost any part of your content anywhere in your sidebars. The widget is made out of drag&drop bits (bricks) and is totally up to you what you want to show on your website. Showcase: Easy widget has variety of bricks representing the content and its logic. You can make simple or complex layout simply by dragging the bricks in to their slots and define on what cases it has to be shown or not. Content bricks are: title content featured image categories tags taxonomies custom meta comments author date shortcode post gallery sidebar WPpagenavi (when installed) … and even your own content bricks if you like The resulting content is displayed based on the logic you build the same way as you did the content. You just drag the logical bricks to their slot and the content will be shown based on that logic. Logical bricks are: Number of posts post type chooser offset hierarchical logic (for pages and alike) category filter custom meta filter post status edit link permissions meta filter taxonomy filter … and even your own logic bricks if you like In adition to that the result can be designed to your needs. You can add your own classes to the whole widget (the HTML structure) and also to each content brick (a part of the content). Then again it is totally up to you how you design your website. Does it reminds you something? Yes, it is exactly what you do when you design your template; you loop through the post or pages in your template, but this time without touching the code. All the content and logical bricks are only graphical representation of the WordPress functions. The aim of this plugin is to speed up common programming work, so we do not have to repeat our selves. Imagine a website made out of “sidebars” filled with widgets representing the list of last posts, menu, the image gallery, any content that is actually the website. All built out of widgets that you can re-arrange anyway you or your client like right out of the admin area. That is the main purpose of the widgets anyway, Easy makes it real.
