Persistent Filters

Description

Persistent Filters is a lightweight WordPress plugin that preserves admin list filters for Posts, Pages and WooCommerce Products and Orders. Once installed end 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 post type (currently, post, page, product and shop_order are supported).
When a filter is stored for a specific post type, a Reset Filters button is added next to the admin list filter options.

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.
