Description

Rezerla Post List Field Search adds a Search in dropdown next to the search box on post list screens (edit.php). Search by title, content, slug, custom fields, post meta, or taxonomy — individually or across all configured fields at once.

  • Admin-only — no impact on front-end search
  • Per post type configuration
  • Core fields, post meta, and taxonomies
  • Optional list table columns (Show in table checkbox)
  • Temporary column and highlight when searching by a single field
  • Field discovery for meta keys and taxonomies
  • Lightweight — no frameworks or subscriptions
  • Default configuration for WP Store Locator (wpsl_stores)
  • No data collection or external API calls
  • Translations: English (default), Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian

Usage example

On a WP Store Locator store list (edit.php?post_type=wpsl_stores):

  1. Enter “Katowice” in the search box.
  2. Select City in the dropdown.
  3. Click the search button.

URL: edit.php?post_type=wpsl_stores&s=Katowice&rezerla_plfs_field=city

List table columns

Check Show in table in field settings to display meta or taxonomy values on the list.
When searching by a single field, that column appears temporarily and is highlighted even without the checkbox.

  1. Upload the rezerla-post-list-field-search folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
  3. Go to Settings Rezerla Post List Field Search.
  4. Enable post types and configure search fields.

The plugin UI follows your WordPress admin language (Settings General, or per-user language).

Does it affect front-end search?

No. The plugin runs only in the WordPress admin on post list screens (edit.php).

Can I search multiple fields at once?

Yes — select All configured fields (rezerla_plfs_field=all).

Does the plugin collect user data?

No. Settings are stored locally in your WordPress database. No telemetry, analytics, or external API calls.

Who can configure the plugin?

The settings page requires the manage_options capability (typically administrators).

Does it work with WP Store Locator?

Yes. On activation, a default configuration is added for the wpsl_stores post type (address, city, zip code, state, category).

Which languages are supported?

English (source), Polish, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. More languages can be added via translate.wordpress.org after the plugin is published.
