Hi,

This is an interaction with your theme’s sticky header. I don’t know why, but the linked-to section is vertically offset by the size of the header (its height when you are scrolled to the top of the page). Presumably when the header is removed to replace with the sticky version the original height somehow remains and influences the browser’s decision on where to scroll when an anchor is clicked.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to solve this correctly, but you can try to use the scroll-fix javascript hack from the plugin to override the browser’s decision. The script is saved at wp-content/plugins/a-z-listing/scripts/a-z-listing-scroll-fix.js. I haven’t made it easy to enqueue the script, so I’ll make a note to add that ability. For now, you’ll need to copy the script into your theme and add a wp_enqueue_script() call to your theme’s functions.php:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_a_z_scrollfix' );
function enqueue_a_z_scrollfix() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'a-z-scrollfix', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/a-z-listing-scroll-fix.js', array(), '1.0', true );
}

This assumes you copied the javascript to wp-content/themes/$yourtheme/js/a-z-listing-scroll-fix.js.

You may customise the offset that it applies by editing the script and locating the call to window.scrollBy(). The second number is an offset where a larger negative value will make the scrolled-to position be closer to the top of the page.

awesome! 🙂

I’m sorry, I still don’t understand what problem you’re facing.

It might be that you are using the shortcode on a page whose address is used by WordPress for WordPress’ own functionality. Overriding the WordPress in-built mechanisms is difficult and needs a different approach than simply adding the shortcode to a page. You will need to edit your theme, or create a child theme, to add or override a suitable template to hijack the WordPress behaviours. The simplest solution is to just use a different address.

Hi,

I’m not sure I fully understand the problem you are experiencing. The first shortcode you added in your post above will show all pages that are assigned the list term from the category taxonomy. The second will show all pages that are assigned the espanol term.

It is important to realise that a post will appear in both listings if they are assigned both list and espanol:

• A post will only appear in the first list if they are assigned list.
• A post will only appear in the second list when it is assigned to espanol.
• A post assigned only espanol will not appear in the first listing.

I’m not sure I understand the form of name you’re referring to and what the correct interpretation of those names would be.

The extension is fairly naive in that it takes the last word of the title and indexes based upon that. If the last word is a known suffix that you specify, such as Jr. or Esq. or IV, then the extension will skip over the suffix and use the next word from the end to index the title.

Currently the extension does not work correctly with last-name prefix, names of the form Pedro De La Rossa, where you might want it to be indexed for all of De La Rossa – in this case it will only index on Rossa.

Hi,

If you want to get going quickly I have a paid extension that does this, which helps to support development costs of the a-z-listing plugin, at https://a-z-listing.com/product/proper-nouns-extension/.

However, if you are proficient with PHP then you can code this yourself using the following filters:

• a_z_listing_item_index_letter
• a_z_listing_item_sorting_comparator
