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?

Show Theme in Footer

This plugin displays the active theme name, version and parent theme name in the Admin Footer on the right. Parent theme is only shown when a child theme is active. We created this plugin because we manage a large number of blogs with different themes. When updating themes we always have to go and look which theme is active and which is the parent theme to prevent problems with the site layout. We always like to be sure before updating the active theme, but others non active theme should always be up to date. Info is only shown to logged in Administrators and Editors. Easy. Handy. And it saves us a lot of time. We think it will save a lot of time of everybody that manages blogs with different themes. Show Theme in Footer in your Language! This first release is avaliable in English and Spanish. In the languages folder we have included the necessary files to translate this plugin. If you would like the plugin in your language and you’re good at translating, please drop us a line at Contact us. Further Reading You can access the description of the plugin in Spanish at: Show Theme in Footer. Contact For further information please send us an email. Translating WordPress Plugins The steps involved in translating a plugin are: Run a tool over the code to produce a POT file (Portable Object Template), simply a list of all localizable text. Our plugins allready havae this POT file in the /languages/ folder. Use a plain text editor or a special localization tool to generate a translation for each piece of text. This produces a PO file (Portable Object). The only difference between a POT and PO file is that the PO file contains translations. Compile the PO file to produce a MO file (Machine Object), which can then be used in the theme or plugin. In order to translate a plugin you will need a special software tool like poEdit, which is a cross-platform graphical tool that is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The naming of your PO and MO files is very important and must match the desired locale. The naming convention is: language_COUNTRY.po and plugins have an additional naming convention whereby the plugin name is added to the filename: pluginname-fr_FR.po That is, the plugin name name must be the language code followed by an underscore, followed by a code for the country (in uppercase). If the encoding of the file is not UTF-8 then the encoding must be specified. For example: en_US – US English en_UK – UK English es_ES – Spanish from Spain fr_FR – French from France zh_CN – Simplified Chinese A list of language codes can be found here, and country codes can be found here. A full list of encoding names can also be found at IANA.
