I’m glad your problem is fixed by the new release 🙂 Sorry I didn’t get here to alert you about the new release promptly.

Hi,

The way you have the shortcode above will display:

• Posts of the type “employer”
• Who have a category of “staffing-profile”

However, if no employers have the category “staffing-profile” then it will display every employer and NOT an empty list. You must have at least one employer assigned the term to filter at all. This is a limitation of WordPress itself.

If you have assigned some employers the term “staffing-profile” then either my plugin has issues with hyphens or you might have the “slug” mis-typed. Can you double check that the term you want to filter-by has the slug “staffing-profile” and that it is in the taxonomy “category”. If you have staffing-profile in a different taxonomy, such as tags you will need to replace the word “category” with the correct taxonomy slug.

The plugin cannot currently show only terms with a common parent term. For this I would recommend a taxonomy specifically to hold cancer types. You would then show the cancer types directly from the cancer-type taxonomy and also apply the category of “cancer”.

So you would have two taxonomies: Cancer-Type and Category

In the Category taxonomy you’d have a single term labelled “Cancer” which you apply to all cancers.

In the Cancer-type taxonomy you’d list each of the types of cancer and show this using the shortcode:

[a-z-listing taxonomy="cancer-type" display="terms"]

That is certainly a strange behaviour. Can you show me the code you used in both cases? Hopefully it’s a simple fix, but I don’t seem to be able to reproduce the behaviour you describe.

The terms attribute takes the slug rather than the title, so in your case it should be horror-reviews. I’m unsure why it would be returning a blank listing with those correctly set, however, so I might need to do some digging and replicating on my system.

This got wrapped-up in another issue which is taking me longer than I had hoped. I’m still working to get this fixed for you ASAP, however.

Hi,

Currently this is only possible by using the filter provided by the plugin to add the numbers, and a custom template which replaces the call $a_z_listing->the_letter_title(); but this requires knowledge of PHP programming. Specifically the filter: a-z-listing-alphabet to add the numbers as a single group, and in the template replacing the call to $a_z_listing->the_letter_title() with something like:

$title = $a_z_listing->get_the_letter_title();
if ( '0' === $title ) {
    echo '0-9';
} else {
    echo esc_html( $title );
}

I am working on an update to the shortcode that will include this functionality out of the box, without any additional programming by the site-owner. I still need to test it more before I’m happy to release it, but please know that it is in the pipeline :-).

Are you getting the listing just without numbers or are you not getting the listing at all? Are there any errors listed in your web server’s error log file from around the time that you request the page which contains the shortcode? (If you are using a web hosting service then your host’s control panel should provide a logs facility to view or download the error log)

As a debugging test could you try numbers="before" to see if the numbers are broken entirely on your site or just the after variant.
