This is an add-on plugin for the Easy Content Types plugin for WordPress.
Easy Content Types is an extremely powerful plugin that allows you to create unlimited post types, taxonomies, and meta boxes in your WordPress website.
This add-on plugin provides an option to enable “taxonomy filters” for any of your custom taxonomies created with Easy Content Types. These filters allow you to sort the entries of any custom post type by the terms within a custom taxonomy attached to that post type.
For example, if you have a custom post type called “Books”, with a taxonomy called “Genre’s attached to it, you could enable the filter for Genres and then be able to view only books filed in the “Fantasy” genre from the admin mange posts screen.
This makes your admin tasks much easier by allowing you a very quick, easy way to filter our the data you don’t need, allowing you to see only the data you’re looking for.

NOTE: Easy Content Types, version 2.3.5 or later, is required for this add-on plugin to function.

But for Front-end ? You have one plugin for this?
Thanks
No, sorry, I don’t have a plugin for a front end taxonomy filter, but this free one might work really well for you: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/query-multiple-taxonomies/
Thanks Pippin, i already use this

Hi Pippin,
don’t you have an idea how to notify users (i think subscriber level users who can access reduced back end) when new posts get published, but not in every categories but custom post type posts filtered through multiple taxonomies? Maybe it’s a step from your back-end taxonomy multiple filter system …

I had a plugin called Post Notify that got close to that, but I’ve removed it due to there being some ongoing bugs that I had trouble fixing. Perhaps I will rewrite it some time in the future.
Hi Pippin,
i have 2 problems with the plugin..
1. when i have only 2 sub taxonomies and in each is one produckt…then the filter doesn`t work
2. when i want to filter by one taxonomy it works, but then when i try to filter immediately by another taxonomy i get a error message “Invalid post type”
can you help me?
1. What happens exactly when you have?
2. Does it work if you return to the “not filters” state before choosing two filters?
1. nothing happens…i see then my all 2 products…not filtered
2. it works when i click for new on my custom post type…e.b. products…the thing is , i can not filter twice at the same page…have to return to the overview first…it is nothing horrible, i wondered only
I have one guess off the top of my head. Try going to Content Types > Settings and checking the box for “Disable Taxonomy Archive Fix”.
yeah…thanks…this helps for 2. now i can filter immediately^^
Great!
Any plans to relax the ECPT dependency? I totally understand from your perspective that it helps drive sales of your other plugins, but just out of interest, are there any reasons this couldn’t be made into a stand-alone plugin?
At this point no. There is no reason it couldn’t be made into it’s own stand alone plugin, but I don’t plan to do that at this time.
Hi Pippin,
Just bought this plugin and activated it but I am not seeing the drop down menu when I go into my “books” post type. All I see is the bulk actions drop down and the show all dates drop down. I have one taxonomy registered for that post type, “Genres”. I didn’t see any settings in the settings menu but wanted to check and make sure I’m not missing something simple.
Thanks! – Rob
You have to go to Content Types > Taxonomies > Edit {your taxonomy} and then check the box for “Taxonomy Filters”.
Thanks man that did the trick. Awesome plugin… just what I was looking for!

Hi,
just installed the plugin and can’t get it to work. Only have 1 tax. Tax menu is displayed with number of posts but when filtering either no result is displayed or I get this error: Invalid post type
Tried this without luck..
Try going to Content Types > Settings and checking the box for “Disable Taxonomy Archive Fix

Is this on a custom post type or one of the defaults?
On a custom post type.
Found the problem. I used the reserved word “Type” for the taxonomy. Front end output worked fine but not admin:
Avoiding the following reserved terms is particularly important if you are passing the term through the $_GET or $_POST array.

Oh great!
