Is this still ok to use this code for current 4.8 Wordpress version?

Thanks chodorowich for your code example in the comments. I noticed that it only filters the first taxonomy if 2 are selected do you have suggestions on how I could fix this?

You should make this into a plugin.

it's much easier now in WP 3.1

function my_restrict_manage_posts() {
    global $typenow;
    $args=array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false ); 
    $post_types = get_post_types($args);
    if ( in_array($typenow, $post_types) ) {
    $filters = get_object_taxonomies($typenow);
        foreach ($filters as $tax_slug) {
            $tax_obj = get_taxonomy($tax_slug);
            wp_dropdown_categories(array(
                'show_option_all' => __('Show All '.$tax_obj->label ),
                'taxonomy' => $tax_slug,
                'name' => $tax_obj->name,
                'orderby' => 'term_order',
                'selected' => $_GET[$tax_obj->query_var],
                'hierarchical' => $tax_obj->hierarchical,
                'show_count' => false,
                'hide_empty' => true
            ));
        }
    }
}
function my_convert_restrict($query) {
    global $pagenow;
    global $typenow;
    if ($pagenow=='edit.php') {
        $filters = get_object_taxonomies($typenow);
        foreach ($filters as $tax_slug) {
            $var = &$query->query_vars[$tax_slug];
            if ( isset($var) ) {
                $term = get_term_by('id',$var,$tax_slug);
                $var = $term->slug;
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action('restrict_manage_posts', 'my_restrict_manage_posts' );
add_filter('parse_query','my_convert_restrict');

This code worked perfectly for me in 2020 using WP 5.4! My situation is as follows:
I've created a custom post type Jobs and added two taxonomies (Branche and Status). I needed a filter to show in the admin to quickly filter the status (open/closed) within a branche. Happy to got it working!
