Description
This plugin injects a small search box at the top of taxonomy metaboxes (the checkbox lists) on the post edit screen. It only appears for taxonomies that have more than 5 terms to avoid clutter.
Search queries are performed via AJAX and the checklist is filtered client-side for a quick, responsive experience.
Installation
- Upload the
taxonomy-admin-searchfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Edit a post that uses a taxonomy with more than 5 terms and the search box will appear above the taxonomy metabox.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It only shows/hides existing checklist items. It doesn’t add, remove, or modify terms.
Not from the UI yet. You can change the threshold by editing the plugin source where intval($count) > 5 is used.
