category taxonomy glossary_cat taxonomy_terms_to_include optional 1 2 3 taxonomy_terms_to_exclude optional 1 2 3 uncategorized_term_name title This option is for nothing at the time with the plugin

for filter on Glossary Index Page Suppose you want to change the order of the alphabets show only few alphabets show a different set of characters show characters list for other language eg Hebrew Greek show multiple rows rather than all the alphabets in single row or all English alphabets in first row and Hebrew in next row You can use this option for all these Use comma for multiple alphabets

phrase These alphabets will show as disabled in the list Selecting this option will remove these disabled alphabets from the list completely This option allows you to choose one from following two options yes no hide_all Plugin by default shows ALL at the starting of the filter list on Glossary Index Page which shows all the glossary terms phrases when clicked For example you click on alphabet A from the filter list it will come up with all the glossary terms starting with A Now you want to see back the whole list of terms Clicking ALL does this for you If you want to show it no more in the filter list you can enable this option This option allows you to choose one from following two options yes no hide_numeric This option works almost in the same way Hide All Filter works but for the glossary terms starting with number Plugin shows 0-9 just after All in the filter list on Glossary Index Page and you can remove it by enabling this option This option allows you to choose one from following two options yes no post_type Plugin uses its own custom post type for Glossary Index Page In case if you want to show WordPress s default post type Page Post or any other custom post type you can choose under this option template Plugin comes up with two type of glossaries Alphabet Glossary and Taxonomy Category Glossary Few times you want to list all the categories with their posts in glossary style and this option does it for you By default template uses alphabet to works as Alphabet Glossary and you can change it to category in case you need to show Taxonomy Category Glossary This option allows you to choose one from following two options alphabet category taxonomy This option works better with template category from previous option That way you can decide which taxonomy you want to load the posts for EG You want to list all the products with WooCommerce categories you can set it like taxonomy product_cat taxonomy_terms_to_include By default Previous option taxonomy loads posts for all the categories This option allows you to include only specific categories to load the posts for For this you have to enter comma separated category ID s with this option taxonomy_terms_to_exclude By default Previous option taxonomy loads posts for all the categories This option allows you to exclude specific categories to load the posts from rest of the categories For this you have to enter comma separated category ID s with this option uncategorized_term_name Its not necessary that all the posts will be categorized properly and few of those can still be without having any category assigned Using template category and it shows only those posts which have at-least one category assigned This option allows you to show uncategorized posts as well under same name category you pass with this option DEMO Alphabets Glossary Categories Glossary Custom Post Type Glossary Linkify Blog Page Linkify Single Page Widget Comments WP Glossary Widget CHANGELOG 2 8 Fixed
