A life saver!

This plugin works perfectly for filtering WooCommerce categories. I have over 120 product categories and this plugin now makes it very easy to find the right category to assign. Thanks!

Brilliant - working on WP 5.0.3

This just saved my life... well... a lot of work and me hitting my head against a wall thinking why don't developers invent useful plugins.. Add a donate button and I'll gladly buy you a coffee...

Very good

By andersonadelson on July 30, 2018

I have more than 5 thousand categories. This plugin has helped me immensely. Thank you!

Why is this not default WP functionality?!

By jirrodglynn on January 29, 2018

I'm super impressed with this plugin. Simple and needed. Scrolling through a very long list of categories everytime is frustrating for our editors and journalists. This is exactly how I've imagined categories should work in admin. Thanks!

Must have for a site with many terms

By certainlyakey on January 18, 2018

Something that should be present in WP from the start. Nice, simple and friendly looking.

Excellent

By Invizogen on November 29, 2017

Great plugin that does wonders for site with many categories.

Exactly what I was looking for

By Harry (dibbyo456) on October 5, 2017

This exactly what I was looking for, works like charm. Can you built something like this for Tags too? I've like 10k tags.

Exactly what I needed

By naahuel on June 9, 2017

I don't know how long I've looked for this. Works like a charm. It even works with custom post_types and taxonomies. Great!

Perfect!

By joseyaz on March 10, 2017
