   Hi, I used the following codes to list all the categories that I have on my site, but the issue is that I have too many categories (100+). So, I would like to paginate the category listing. (i.e 10 categories each page... etc) I don't know how I would approach this using the get_categories function within WordPress. Help??? Thanks!

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'orderby' => 'name',
     'order' => 'ASC'
     );
   $categories=get_categories($args);
     foreach($categories as $category) {
       echo '<p>Category: <a>term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </p> ';
       echo '<p> Description:'. $category->description . '</p>';
       echo '<p> Post Count: '. $category->count . '</p>';  }
   ?>

   I have this same issue ... I'm using a get_categories array and am returning a list of 100+ cats, so I want to paginate the list. Please help! There's got to be a way to do this!

   Use get_terms, create your own paging and adjust the offset as necessary..

   For example purposes.
   

   $catnum = 5;
   $catpage = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
   $offset = ($catpage - 1) * $catnum;
   $cats = get_terms( array(
     'orderby' => 'name',
     'order' => 'ASC',
     'number' => $catnum,
     'offset' => $offset
   ) );

   I don't have time to follow up on this or test code, so i hope the example helps.
