Hi,

To filter the list to a products in a specific category, you can use:

[a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="product" taxonomy="product_cat" terms="cat-slug"]

You can find the appropriate slug to use in place of cat-slug by navigating to /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=product_cat&post_type=product. You should see the slug for each category on the fourth column of the list of categories.

Hi,

To limit to a specific category (a term in the “categories” taxonomy) you can use a shortcode similar to:

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

To find the term-slug for your term/category navigate to wp-admin -> posts -> Categories and then find the column labelled Slug (it’s slug in the English locale – if you are using a different language you might have a translated label. It is likely to be the third column in the list of terms/categories.) Once you’ve found the slug for your term copy and paste it into the shortcode above.

Hi,

To omit the brackets when there are no parents, you can store the parents list or immediate parent in a variable and then test whether that variable has any content:

For the full list of parents:

<a href="<?php $a_z_query->the_permalink(); ?>">
	<?php $a_z_query->the_title(); ?>
</a>
<?php
$parents_list = get_term_parents_list( $a_z_query->get_the_item_id(), 'category', array( 'separator' => ', ' ) );
if ( ! empty( $parents_list ) ) :
	echo '(' . $parents_list . ')';
endif;
?>

For the immediate parent only:

<a href="<?php $a_z_query->the_permalink(); ?>">
	<?php $a_z_query->the_title(); ?>
</a>
<?php
$all_parents = get_ancestors( $a_z_query->get_the_item_id(), 'category', 'taxonomy' );
$immediate_parent = array_shift( $all_parents );
if ( $immediate_parent ) :
	$immediate_parent_term = get_term( $immediate_parent, 'category' );
	echo '(' . $immediate_parent_term->name . ')';
endif;
?>

It’s not possible, currently, because I simply didn’t think about using the slug in that way :-). Sorry I can’t help you right now, but I will add this idea to my list of things to add in the next version once I’ve figured out performance issues.

Hi,

You appear to have some custom code for your non-dev site, because the plugin doesn’t do single letter pages out of the box. There is a “tabbed” display that loads all the posts into the page and then switches between each letter using javascript. This can be enabled with a line of code in your theme’s functions.php file, but your non-dev site isn’t doing this.

To replicate what your non-dev site is doing, you’ll need to find out what customisations were applied and copy those to your dev site.

Hi,

Please copy and paste the exact shortcode from your site. Make sure when you paste the shortcode into the reply box that you use the editor’s “code” feature to correctly mark your input as code. This will ensure that the editor does not mangle the characters you input, such as changing " to “, which it has done in your original post.

Hi,

To display thirstylink posts that are categorised with the term clothing in the taxonomy thirstylink-category you would want the following shortcode:

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

Hi,

You can display the terms from a taxonomy who are each subordinates of a specified term with the following:

[a-z-listing display="terms" taxonomy="category" parent-term="category-to-show-children-of" get-all-children="yes"]

You can set get-all-children to no if your categories are directly children of the parent term. With it set to yes then the listing will also include grand-children and their children ad infinitum.
