Description

Just a little widget that adds in some useful functionality that WordPress (oddly enough) doesn’t include stock … listing almost all of your categories. Say, for example, you have a utility category entitled “Events,” and you want to display a list of all your site’s categories, but don’t want “Events” to display in that list. Instead of hard-coding a list into a text widget, just use this!

Installation

  1. Upload the file widget_almost_all_categories.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Position the widget in the desired sidebar through the widgets admin page

Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress doesn’t let you do this? Really?

Well, not through a simple interface like this. It lets you do it through code in the back-end, but this is a simple wrapper to enable using it in your sidebar.
