Version 2.1.0/2.1.1 is now available for download, which provides this capability. You can now use a shortcode similar to:

[a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="product,page"]

With version 2.1.0/2.1.1 you can now tell the shortcode to show child pages of a specific page:

[a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="page" parent-post="42"]

The value for parent-post is a Post ID number. See this page for instructions to find a post-id.

Sorry about the delay in replying. Unfortunately, you cannot explicitly specify posts to include only those posts in the list. I’ll try to get the feature into 2.2.0, but I’d like to let 2.1.0/2.1.1 settle for a few weeks to allow bugs to surface before releasing another new version.

I’m not sure I understand your use case enough to say whether my plugin will be suitable.

My plugin provides a widget with the letters of the alphabet as links (<a> tags). This could be placed into your header if your theme provides a widget area/sidebar in the header area. The links in the widget point to the letter in a specified page in your site provided that the page includes the shortcode.

I’m not sure about the “not redirecting them to another page” requirement. The widget points to a page that you specify in its configuration, which will require a page load when the visitor clicks on it unless the visitor is already on the specified page. However, the letters are also outputted as links to the current page as part of the shortcode output; so you don’t need the widget on the listing page itself. When the user clicks on the letters in the listing page they will be moved to the appropriate letter’s list without reloading the page.

I hope this helps, and I’m sorry if I have not understood correctly.

Yes, I anticipated this and provided functionality that allows you to customise the alphabet that is used for the listing.

You can override the alphabet with the shortcode by the alphabet attribute like this:

[a-z-listing ... alphabet="Aaá,Bb,Cc"]

The text between the quotes (") is the alphabet you want to use for the listing. Each letter is separated by a comma (,). You can assign multiple variants of each letter, such as upper and lower case like I have done above. In the example above the letters A, a, and á are all in one group so that posts beginning with either of those letters are collected within the same part of the listing. The first character of each group is used as the title of the group; in the example above the group titles are the upper-case A, B, and C.

I don’t know how the Hebrew alphabet looks or works but hopefully, as someone who knows the alphabet better, you can use this to form the correct configuration.

Somebody has attempted to add the configuration to the localisation that WordPress provides at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/a-z-listing/stable/he/default. They have determined that the configuration for alphabet should be:

[a-z-listing alphabet="א,ב,ג,ד,ה,ו,ז,ח,ט,י,כ,ל,מ,נ,ס,ע,פ,צ,ק,ר,ש,ת"]

Hi,

To show pages you need:

[a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="page"]

You cannot currently restrict which pages appear or not in the listing with the shortcode. Nor can you currently display both posts and pages in the same listing. Both of these features are coming in version 2.1.0 when it is released.

Hi,

From the screenshot it looks like the Elementor output has not loaded the CSS that my plugin provides. I suspect this is because of the way that I currently load the CSS when the shortcode is detected in the post content, and I am guessing that Elementor is storing the shortcode definition in it’s own data. I think this can be fixed on my end by detecting when Elementor is embedding the shortcode in addition to the current method that I use.

Thankyou for the message, and even though you’ve managed to find a workaround for now I appreciate you asking about it. Please write again if you would like more assistance or want to alert me to something else 🙂
