Post Category Filter (WP Admin) vs WPC Admin Columns

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?

Managing an online store on WordPress is made easier with the WPC Admin Columns plugin. This plugin offers a listing of columns in the admin dashboards for different post-types, so you can adjust the columns’ width, quickly find the ones to be edited, and preview the details at a glance. A variety of data and parameters will be displayed for faster preview of different post-types – products, posts, pages, and especially, orders. For example, instead of choosing a filter to find a specific product type, now users can see which type each product belongs to with the “Product type” column. It’s super helpful to detect special product types, namely Smart Bundles/ Smart Composite & Smart Grouped. The most remarkable feature in this plugin is the custom columns for products and orders. In the content of these custom columns, it’s possible to insert texts and shortcode. There’s also a Remove button for each custom column to be left out of the column list effortlessly. With this, shop owners and administrators can literally display any piece of information they want in the backend dashboard. Key features Easily turn on/off the columns with 1 button Drag and drop to rearrange the columns Customize the width of columns Add unlimited new columns to the list Support multiple post-types: posts, products, pages, etc. Support multiple taxonomies: category, tag, collection, brand, product category, product attribute, etc. Support comments, attachment, plugins Plenty of predefined columns of data Posts/pages: post properties, post ID, excerpt & name Products: metadata, product ID, type, name, status, etc. Orders: order ID, status, billing, payment, notes, etc. Custom column: editable, removable content with text & shortcode Reset all custom column settings to the original in 1 click Work well with many WPC plugins & all WPC themes Work well with common WordPress themes and plugins Default Columns WordPress allows users to check/uncheck the columns they want to display or hide from the Screen Options menu. However, it’s time-consuming when you need to modify more data at the same time and very annoying to open that menu several times. WPC Admin Columns helps you go further by listing all columns in one popup so they can grab the information in an instance. Default columns will be listed on top of each list: Products: Image, Name, SKU, Stock, Price, Categories, Tags, Featured, Date Orders: Order, Date, Status, Billing, Ship To, Total, Actions, the Latest Note, Note Pages: Title, Author, Comments, Date Posts: Title, Author, Categories, Tags, Comments, Date Management of Products & Orders By default, WooCommerce only shows some of the product details in the Products dashboard. Our plugin makes it more straightforward for shop owners and administrators to preview products’ type, status, description, short description, weight, length, width, height, dimensions besides basic information, namely product ID & name. For orders, users are entitled to not just preview basic information such as Order, Date, Status, Billing, Ship To, Total, Actions, Latest Note, Note. There is an individual column exclusive for notes created by the WPC Order Notes for WooCommerce plugin. Clicking on the icon under the Notes column, then the popup will be opened for users to preview all existing notes and add a new one if they want.
