This plugin creates two widgets:
<ol>
<li>A widget where you can choose from all the categories in your blog.</li>
</ol>
This is similar to what newegg.com uses, where you can select multiple categories, and it will only show posts belonging to all the categories you select, and such categories can be narrowed down by selecting their subcategories.
<ol>
<li>A widget where you can choose from all the tags in your blog</li>
</ol>
You can select the tags you want to search for, and it will only show posts that have all of the tags you selected.
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
After upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 it is highly recommended that you deactivate the plugin and then re-activate it. Unfortunately WordPress 3.1 no longer calls register_activation_hook when the plugins are upgraded, so this may be necessary, otherwise you may not see all your categories.
When using version 3.2 or above, and excluding categories, the display order may or may not be mixed up when you exclude a parent category.

Faceted Search

This plugin will create widgets that you can use to conduct faceted searches using the categories or tags on your site.

Visual Term Description Editor

This plugin is very helpful specially for those client user who want to use the classic editor. Hope to update and maintain this plugin. Thank you.

This is very helpful

You cannot help but love the simplicity. Can a code Snippet do this as well?

Love the simplicity


Great plugin to allow you to make your term descriptions more visually appealing. It works just fine with WP 6.3 in lieu of implementing the block editor for term descriptions.


Great plugin - works with WP 6.3

Replaces the plain-text category and tag description editor with a visual editor.
