This widget helps visitors of your site to navigate through categories easily. Auto overflow style generation is supported.

How to use category icons ?

If you need to have an icon associated with a category I’d suggest you to add a custom category field.
I have provided an example of adding a custom category field. You can find it in the example/category-icon folder.
Or you can use your own implementation. The plugin provides a specific filter for that purpose.
The name of the filter to hook – accordion_category_icon.
