Category Overload provides an alternate administrative interface for managing categories in WordPress. This was developed for Dave Powers’ New Music Nation web site, who had over 1200 (nested) categories and the volume of categories was causing pages to fail to load, server lock-ups, etc.

When managing categories in your WordPress admin interface, Category Overload shows only one level of categories and only 50 per level at a time (paged). It replaces the standard category management interface for WordPress.

If you’ve got a lot of categories, Category Overload may be a solution for you.

The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.

If you have any trouble with this, please open a thread in the WP Support Forums and send me the link.
