<p>Simple plugin to display categories in any post or page with a shortcode. It’s basically a shortcode API interface to the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_categories/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_categories</a> WordPress function. This means given any of the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_categories/#parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">parameters</a> accepted by the function, you can pass it in as a shortcode parameter to the <code>categories</code> shortcode.</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre><code>[categories orderby=count]
</code></pre>
<p>Will display links to all the categories and order them by number of posts in each category.</p>
<p>You can also <strong>list tags</strong> or any other WordPress taxonomy. You need to pass a value to the <code>taxonomy</code> parameter. For example to list tags: <code>[categories taxonomy=post_tag title_li="Tags"]</code>.<br />
By default, the usage shows:</p>
<ul>
<li>No link to all categories</li>
<li>Sorts the list of Categories by the Category name in ascending order</li>
<li>Displayed in an unordered list style</li>
<li>Does not show the post count</li>
<li>Displays only Categories with posts</li>
<li>Sets the title attribute to the Category Description</li>
<li>Is not restricted to the child_of any Category</li>
<li>No feed or feed image used</li>
<li>Does not exclude any Category and includes all Categories</li>
<li>Displays the active Category with the CSS Class-Suffix ‘ current-cat’</li>
<li>Shows the Categories in hierarchical indented fashion</li>
<li>Display Category as the heading over the list</li>
<li>No SQL LIMIT is imposed (‘number’ => 0 is not shown above)</li>
<li>Displays (echos) the categories</li>
<li>No limit to depth</li>
<li>All categories.</li>
<li>The list is rendered using a new walker object of the the Walker_Category class</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_categories/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_categories</a> for usage.</p>
<h3>Markup and Styling of Category Lists</h3>
<p>Taken from the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories#Markup_and_Styling_of_Category_Lists" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_categories official documentation</a>.</p>
<p>By default, wp_list_categories() generates nested unordered lists (ul) within a single list item (li) titled “Categories”.</p>
<p>You can remove the outermost item and list by setting the title_li parameter to an empty string. You’ll need to wrap the output in an ordered list (ol) or unordered list yourself (see the examples above). If you don’t want list output at all, set the style parameter to none.</p>
<p>You can style the output with these CSS selectors :</p>
<pre><code>li.categories { ... }  /* outermost list item */
li.cat-item { ... }
li.cat-item-7 { ... }  /* category ID #7, etc */
li.current-cat { ... }
li.current-cat-parent { ... }
ul.children { ... }
</code></pre>
<p>For instance, you can remove the bullet points next to each category with:</p>
<pre><code>.cat-item {
  list-style-type: none
}
</code></pre>
<h3>Show categories list in columns</h3>
<p>For outputting the list into columns, you can use <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-multicol-1/" rel="nofollow ugc">CSS’s multicolumns</a>. Since by default the list is printed as an unordered list with the “categories” class, you can add this to your CSS:</p>
<pre><code>.categories{
    column-count: 5;
    column-gap: 50px;
}
</code></pre>


List categories

Thanks for publishing this little plugin. I ended up taking the code and integrating it into a custom solution but the plugin is well put together and pretty powerful.
Some better docs would help make it more useful for folks.
Thanks for making this available!

<p>The functional value of WordPress as a CMS increases with each version, and the current 3.4 makes good usage of custom post types and custom taxonomies, meaning the creation of diverse content is possible. However, with these function additions, site structure has become complicated, and situations have arisen where the display of relevant navigation, such as site maps and breadcrumbs, does not appear as intended.</p>
<p>WP SiteManager makes it possible to make unified adjustments for this kind of inconsistent navigation using setup via control screens.<br />
In addition, it also makes possible snippet optimization through management of meta information, and optimization of various environments through a theme switching function by device.</p>
<h4>Functions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Site Map Display</li>
<li>Breadcrumb Display</li>
<li>Page Navigation (Pager) Display</li>
<li>Sub-Navigation Display</li>
<li>Device Recognition and Theme Switching Function</li>
<li>Settings for Meta Keywords & Description</li>
</ol>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can find settings of default taxonomy and taxonomy selection on Writing Settings.</li>
<li>You can find setting of displaying taxonomies on Right Now in Your Profile.</li>
<li>You can find “Term order” menu on Settings screen.</li>
<li>You can find settings of displaying custom taxonomies on posts and pages list.</li>
</ul>
