Hi,

Product Attributes are saved as a taxonomy, so you want to use something like this to show their names:

[a-z-listing display="terms" taxonomy="pa-designer"]

Your shortcode looks correct. If you have no articles in the benh category it might be displaying all posts as a fall-back. I’ve seen this before where when a term is empty it shows a list of all posts instead of none.

You can link to a specific letter by appending #letter-a, #letter-b, #letter-c, etc to the address of the page: https://example.com/a-z-listing#letter-a. Note that this is entirely handled in the browser – everything after a # in a web address is only ever seen by the browser, and never sent to the server. That means while it appears to be different pages it is actually all the same page with different bits hidden and shown on-demand.

Hi,

My plugin doesn’t support this quite how you want it. I have supplied a small javascript file that, when loaded, will “hide” some of the list so that only a single letter is showing at a time. However, this is done entirely in the browser so you won’t have a separate page for each letter.

You can experiment with this to see if it suits you with the following code added to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'a_z_listing_tabify', '__return_true' );

The script uses jQuery-UI’s “tabs” functionality to implement the feature.

Hi,

Can you post the exact shortcode you added to your site using the forum’s code button in the editor area? Without seeing the exact shortcode you used I can only guess, but it might be that you set parent-post to a post’s slug instead of it’s ID. The parent-post parameter must be set to a post’s ID number.

Hi,

The plugin doesn’t do this natively. You can, however, hook into the filter a_z_listing_query using PHP to modify the query by adding the required parameters. Something like below might work when added to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'a_z_listing_query', 'add_user_to_a_z_query' );
function add_user_to_a_z_query( $query ) {
    $query['author'] = 123; // Set to ID of a user
    // alternatively $query['author_name'] = 'Administrator'; // Set to a user's name
    // alternatively $query['author__in'] = array( 1, 2, 3, 4 ); // Set to multiple ID numbers of users

    return $query;
}

Did you write it exactly like you have above with spaces between the = and the words either-side? If so, try removing those spaces so that it looks like this:

[a-z-listing display="posts" taxonomy="category" terms="benh"]

Also make sure that the benh term exists as a category and that you have posts that you have assigned to that category.

Note that the category taxonomy is not by-default applied to posts of the page post-type, which is the default post-type that the plugin displays. To display posts from the post post-type (wow, many “post”!) you need to add post-type="post":

[a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="post" taxonomy="category" terms="benh"]
