WP-SNAP!

  1. Download the WP-SNAP! WordPress Plugin, extract it and upload it to your WordPress Plugins folder on your site.
  2. Activate the Plugin from the WordPress Administration Plugins tab.
  3. Edit the category templates your Theme uses, such as category.php, and add the following code above the start of the Wordpress Loop:
  4. Copy the CSS example below and paste it into your WordPress Theme stylesheet (you can style it better later).
  5. Upload the files and refresh the category page on your WordPress blog to see it in action.
  6. For further customization, go to the Options > WP-SNAP! panel and change the alphabetical structure to something different and click Update Options. You may also change the categories to be displayed and the menu navigational structure by passing variables as a query-string to the plugin like so:
    There are currently four possible arguments: Category ('cat'), Include Category Children ('child'), Navigational Menu Style ('menu'), and First Load ('firstload'). Category must equal a category number from your WordPress installation, Include Category Children must equal true or false as to whether to include child categories (the default value is false), Navigational Menu Style must equal a number between 1 and 3 (corresponding with the three navigational styles offered in the admin options panel), and First Load must equal ALL, NONE or RECENT and will affect how WP-SNAP! displays posts/tags when it is first called on a template. Note that if RECENT is selected, the number of recent posts/tags to display can be controlled from the admin options page. For instance, to create a navigational menu for all posts in category 15, including child categories, using the default menu navigational style, and displaying recent posts on first load, WP-SNAP! would be called like this: To create a navigational menu for the current category, excluding children and using navigational menu style 3, WP-SNAP! would be called like this: To create a navigational menu for all categories, using default navigational menu style, WP-SNAP! would be called like this:
  7. Test it out and enjoy!

Note: For the Plugin to work, you must have access to edit your WordPress Theme files. You must also have a category.php template file in your WordPress Theme. If you do not, you can create one following the instructions on the WordPress Codex for creating a category template file.
