Works As Advertised
Nothing fancy, but it works as advertised – quite useful. Not sure why the other custom taxonomy vendors can’t include this function, but kudos to these guys…
Useful
This is useful especially who don’t want to pay for Admin Columns Pro which is the only plugin can do the same thing other than this.
Works like a charm!
lighweighted and straight forward. Thank you Anh Tran!
