  • Works really well and easy to customise for front end too

    This plugin is simple but works really well! And using a handy tip from the forums I was able to easily create a copy of the plugin to use select2 on the front end too. Super simple but makes a huge difference to my website.

  • This is a very useful plugin. It saves you tons of typing.

    It is basically designed for the admin side of WordPress but it could also be used on the front end.

  • Very much needed

    Thank you so much 🙏🏼💜 This plugin is very much needed. I can't believe when I want to change author on a post I have to scroll to endless 500+ list of users. Just what I needed straight and simple.

  • Very Easy...Just Install, Activate and Use

    This plugin is very useful...I have developed when you have multiple categories or tags. While filtering a post it is really time-consuming with simple select box. So the solution to this is Select2 box. You can see example of Select2 here. https://select2.github.io/examples.html
