Admin Taxonomy Filter helps you to filter posts or custom post types in the admin area (the post list table) by custom taxonomies. It’s similar to filter posts by categories, which is supported by default.
The plugin supports filter by multiple taxonomies and has settings to let you choose which taxonomies are filterable.
The plugin is open source and hosted on Github. If you have any problem or feedback, please open an issue.

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…
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.
lighweighted and straight forward.
Thank you Anh Tran!
Please don’t stop updating this plugin. Thanks, make it a paid one if you have to, but this plugin is filling a real lack of functionality in the WordPress admin.
I want to love this plugin, but it appears to broken in WP 5.4 – bummer
UPDATE: Just played around a little – it appears to break things when “All Categories” or “All Tags” is selected – seems to work when some filter is set. Haven’t run through every use case but seems related to that?
