## Description

Persistent Filters is a lightweight WordPress plugin that preserves admin list filters
for Posts, Pages and WooCommerce listings (products, orders and coupons). Once installed
and activated, the plugin remembers filter selections like a search string, ordering,
product status etc. Filters will be reapplied when you return to the corresponding
list screen so you don’t have to redo all filtering.

Filters are reapplied automatically when you return to the corresponding list screen
so you don’t have to redo your filtering.
 All filters are stored **per user per
listing**. When a filter is stored for a specific listing, a **Reset Filters** button
is added next to the admin list filter options.

### Features

 * Persistent filters for Posts, Pages and WooCommerce Products, Orders and Coupons
   in the admin lists.
 * Remembers filter types like date, categories, search terms and ordering.
 * Per-listing persistence (each post type maintains its own stored filters).
 * Lightweight with minimal performance impact.
 * Option to remove all filters, for all users of only for the current user.

## Installation

 1. In the Admin menu select **Plugins**
 2. Click the `Add Plugin` button
 3. Look for the `Persistent Filters` plugin and click `Install now`
 4. Activate Persistent Filters in the **Plugins** screen.

## FAQ

### Does this affect front-end queries?

No, the plugin only saves and reapplies admin list screen query parameters.

### Is persistence shared between users?

No, all filters are stored per user.

### When I reset my filters, do I lose filters for all post types?

No, only the filters for the post type currently listed will be reset.

### I just installed the plugin, but I don’t see the Reset Filters button.

Correct, that button is only shown when you actually used a filter for the current
post type.

### Can I remove all filters at once?

Yes, in the **Plugins** screen in your Admin environment, click the `Reset all filters`
link next to the `Deactivate` options. You will get a popup where you can select
if you want to remove your own filters only, or for all users.

Persistent Filters is a super useful plugin. Once you try it you will wonder how
you ever managed without it – especially if you are running a WooCommerce store!
