Thanks for the feedback. However I don’t think we’ll continue supporting this plugin. While it sounded good in the beginning we found it to be more of a distraction then an actual useful plugin.

If this was a useful feature WordPress would have implemented it until now because it’s really easy to add.

Hey, Just droping by to let you know that your plugin doesnt work if scribu’s “Query Multiple Taxonomies” plugin is running as well, Quite possibly could be -caused- by that plugin given the nature of it.

Tested with a custom taxonomy.

Also, @lewismc ‘s suggestion sounds great to me as well

I managed it by modifying the function to include more labels:

if(($tax->label!='Categories')&&($tax->label!='Post Tags')&&($tax->label!='Navigation Menus')&&($tax->label!='Role')&&($tax->label!='Post Type')){ // the categories dropdown is default wordpress behaviour

But wondered if there was a setting that could be integrated?

This was just what I needed! Thanks a lot. Can you modify it at all to only pick certain custom taxonomies at all? We have several and only require a few.

Now this is some odd behavior… But I have no idea what’s causing it. Sorry

The Post-Tags dropdown also works correctly (finds posts regardless of post_status). So it seems the issue I’m seeing is only with my Custom Taxonomies. Does that shed any light?

Hi again. I played around further and found that if i FIRST click “Drafts” (in the status links), and THEN use one of the plugin’s dropdowns, my Draft Posts ARE found. And likewise if i first click “Published” (in the status links). These seem to work because wp pre-filters the posts by Status.

However, when the “All” status is selected, the plugin still finds ONLY Published posts, not Drafts or Pendings.

Is this just happening for me? I’d LOVE to use this plugin, but we need it to work for any publish-status.

Hmm. I have a post with Status=Draft, and a custom taxonomy “Sector”=Energy. The plugin adds a dropdown for Sector on the Edit Posts page, above the list of posts.

When I select “Energy” from the Sector dropdown, with the “All” selected (for the publish-status links, above the dropdowns), and then click Filter, my draft post is NOT found. The Category dropdown, a wp default function, DOES find Draft posts. I’d love to know if there’s something wrong with my wp installation (a different one than my orig post 3/19/10), or a setting somewhere i’m missing, or what. Thanks!!

Yes I’d love to see a way to hide certain dropdowns (like how the Screen Options area works), so the filters area doesn’t become so cluttered. I have lots of custom taxonomies.

OR, another great thing (for me!) would be a conditional-dropdown for the taxonomy terms. So the Dropdown#1 has my taxonomy names (Color, Genre, etc), and then Dropdown#2 populates with the Terms of the Taxonomy chosen in Dropdown#1. THAT would rock.

Yeah, I guess it’s pretty silly of us to also list link categories. It will be fixed if we release a new version. Thanks for reporting that!
