Is it possible that you’ve accidentally installed the plugin twice? Since the folder there is List-Categories-master, it looks like you’ve downloaded it from GitHub and uploaded it to your server and then maybe tried installing it from your site’s dashboard too?

This is apparently an issue with your database configuration. I’ve seen this before here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sort-by-post-title-wrong-order-with-swedish-characters/

Please let me know if this fixes your issue and I’ll close the report and add it to the FAQ.

Did you read the documentation? There’s a parameter you can use in the shortcode to show the content from your posts:

content – WARNING: If you want to show the content on your listed posts, you might want to do this from a new Page Template or a Custom Post Type template. Using this parameter is discouraged, you can have memory issues as well as infinite loop situations when you’re displaying a post that’s using List Category Posts. You have been warned. Usage:

yes – Show the excerpt or full content of the post. If there’s a <!–more–> tag in the post, then it will behave just as WordPress does: only show the content previous to the more tag. Default is ‘no’. Ex: [catlist content=yes]

full – Show the full content of the post regardless of whether there is a <!–more–> tag in the post. Ex: [catlist content=full]

There is no option for doing that, but you can accomplish it with CSS. The categories list is displayed inside a li tag with the ‘categories’ class. So you could just add this to your theme’s CSS file:

li.categories a{
  pointer-events: none;
  cursor: default;
}

Hi, yes you can list the subcategories of a given category. Just use the child_of parameter:
[categories orderby=count child_of=ID]

Where ID is the id of category1 in your case.

Sheelendra, please do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic. Your issue is no way related to what’s being discussed here and it can easily be solved by searching for “ordered list” in the documentation.

giotaki if these are Parent Categories, there was a bug in 0.67 that didn’t show posts from child categories. Version 0.67.1 should fix that. Let me know if that’s the issue.

dlongm01 the version with the issue was 0.67. If you tried older versions and the latest update, and it still doesn’t work for you, then there might be another plugin causing issues in your blog. Or something in your blog might be broken.

Writing the plugin’s code, maintaining it, adding new features and answering support issues on this forum costs me several hours too. I don’t get paid for it, I just do it. I do feel irritated when these issues happen and I don’t have free time to fix them. I also feel irritated when people complain about something open source developers are doing for free. So have some patience.

Feel free to stop relying on plugin authors who are doing this for free and hire a freelance programmer to fix the issues you’re having in your blog, it’s what’s great about Free Software, anyone can fix the code ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

WordPress is a complex ecosystem, the core has its own functionality, the themes add more, and every plugin you install affects the whole system. So this stuff happens.

If you’re running really important blogs where human life is at risk if a plugin stops working, you should have a staging server where you test all the plugin updates first, and once you’re sure they’re working, replicate the same environment in your production server. That way you won’t panic when an update breaks a plugin.
