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!

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…

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!
