Hello,

I created an FAQ CPT and custom taxonomy via Meta Box AIO. I followed the instructions to click show admin column in taxonomy. I then used the code per MB admin columns and added the advanced configuration for filterable = true. I got the result I wanted which was to add a dropdown filter above the admin panel next to the date dropdown. However the code also added an additional metabox to the bottom of the post edit screen, which I did not need. There is already the selection for taxonomy in the sidebar.

How do I apply the filterable admin column dropdown for taxonomy, without adding an additional metabox to the post edit screen?

Thanks
Doug

Hello,

The feature filterable is applied to the field taxonomy only. If you want to display 1 meta box for the taxonomy on the editing post, please follow these steps:
- when creating the custom taxonomy > Advanced tab > Disable option "Show on edit page"
- create a custom field taxonomy > make it displays in the admin column and enable the option Filterable.

Ok. So i noticed the behavior doesn't work the same as the native WordPress taxonomy in the admin list. The links within the taxonomy admin column link to the front end page for the taxonomy archive. I would like the native feature of filtering the admin list when clicked.

Also I tried to set a custom setting for priority. key = value. I set category to 20 and tag to 30, to order in the sidebar. However with these settings the metaboxes do not display on the edit page.

Hello Doug,

The admin column of Meta Box might not work the same as the default column of WordPress. I will inform the development team to consider supporting filter by taxonomy on the backend.

Regarding the meta box do not display on the edit page, can you please share some screenshots about that? Or check in the Preferences box when editing the page.
