This shortcode plugin was build for a site running Easy Digital Downloads where I wanted to list the downloads tags and 
categories in the footer, but have it styled just like the theme. I also realized it would be easy to add 
a menu, so that capability was added as well.
This plugin adds a dynamic list element shortcode that can use any menu or taxonomy as input, and outputs an unordered list 
to your site. Based on the the thrive_dynamic_list, the output will be styled based on your theme’s 
settings if you have the Thrive Theme Builder installed. Otherwise, you can use css using the 
‘intellispire-shortcode-dynamic-list’ class to style the element.
This plugin works best when Thrive Themes Shapeshift theme is installed, however the theme is not required to 
use the plugin.
Currently, one shortcode is supplied:
<pre><code>[intellispire_thrive_dynamic_list]
</code></pre>
And has the following attributes: 
– type: tags categories, or menu 
– number: the number of items to display (5 by default) 
– taxonomy: for tags or categories, you can specify the taxonomy
Examples:
Display the Downloads tags from Easy Digital Downloads: 
[intellispire_thrive_dynamic_list type=”tags” number=”5″ taxonomy=”download_tag”]
Display the items from Menu 1: 
[intellispire_thrive_dynamic_list type=”menu” menu=”Menu 1″]
