It’s not possible in the released version to exclude a page using the shortcode.

To add pages that begin with a dot as a separate group you need to customise the alphabet. This is done with the shortcode attribute alphabet which needs a very precise configuration. By default the config is:

AÁÀÄÂaáàäâ,Bb,Cc,Dd,EÉÈËÊeéèëê,Ff,Gg,Hh,IÍÌÏÎiíìïî,Jj,Kk,Ll,Mm,Nn,OÓÒÖÔoóòöô,Pp,Qq,Rr,Ssß,Tt,UÚÙÜÛuúùüû,Vv,Ww,Xx,Yy,Zz

To add the dot as a new section on the end after Z you can use:

[a-z-listing alphabet="AÁÀÄÂaáàäâ,Bb,Cc,Dd,EÉÈËÊeéèëê,Ff,Gg,Hh,IÍÌÏÎiíìïî,Jj,Kk,Ll,Mm,Nn,OÓÒÖÔoóòöô,Pp,Qq,Rr,Ssß,Tt,UÚÙÜÛuúùüû,Vv,Ww,Xx,Yy,Zz,."]

The only characters you cannot use is the comma ,, because I have designated that character to separate the groups from each other, and the quote " because that is used to wrap the entire configuration.

I really don’t think this is possible easily. The plugin just isn’t designed to do what you want. You might be able to adapt the template to achieve this by copying it out of the templates directory (in the plugin folder) to your theme making sure to name it a-z-listing.php and adapting it.

It looks like those three letter categories (Æ, Å, and Ø) are included in your output now. Have you got it working how you wanted it or is there still a problem?

This currently isn’t possible, but will be in the next version which I hope to get released very soon. Once 2.0 is out, you will be able to add a parent-term attribute to your shortcode:

[a-z-listing display="terms" taxonomy="product_cat" parent-term="artists"]

This will show all descendants including grand-children and below (child-of-child-of…) artists.

Yes, this is possible but you need to add some PHP code into your theme to achieve it. Place something similar to the second block of code below into your theme’s functions.php file (if it doesn’t have such a file you can create it at wp-content/themes/<your-theme>/functions.php with the first snippet below, to which you can add the second code block as you would if the file already existed:

<?php

add_action( 'a_z_listing_item_indices', 'exclude_a_z_pages' );
function exclude_a_z_pages( $indices, $item, $type ) {
    if ( in_array( $item->ID, array(
        5, // exclude post with ID of '5'
        6, // exclude post with ID of '6'
        7, // exclude post with ID of '7'
        // add further ID numbers here separated by commas (,) to exclude them
    ) ) {
        $indices = array();
    }

    return $indices;
}

The second code block needs to be either after <?php, and before ?> if it is present. This is a rule of how the PHP engine recognises that the code is PHP rather than HTML.

I’ve been looking over WordPress docs, and I think I can commit to including filtering in a future update, but for now it’s not possible 🙁 sorry.
