Hello,

Our site has been using the collapsing categories for some years now.
However of late new products added to the collapsing categories are not added alphabetically.

View post on imgur.com

This is the interface I’m looking at to set the order:

View post on imgur.com

but the changes I make are not sorting the list alphabetically.

I have tried updating and reinstalling the plugin, but have not yet been able to get it to show elements in alphabetical order.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
I like this Plugin but it is not save because no update since 3 years.

Know anybody an alternative for this plugin?

Regards

Good day,

The icons in the header of our site, and in the top menu, are not displaying correctly. I have done the following:
Checked in the back-end- it shows
Checked on my iphone- it shows
Checked on internet explorer- it shows
Cleared my cache
Went to Elementor> settings> Load Font Awesome 4 Support is ticked

Please help. Thanks so much!

works fine on user side but it creates an extra category widget in admin area so when i go to edit or create a post there are 2 category blocks.
then i must make sure all my relevant categories are selected in BOTH blocks or WP will fail to update categories correctly.
plugin is unusable until this is fixed.
thanks for your efforts however. It is a very good plugin except for this problem.

I love this plugin thanks so much for making it.

Would you be able to update it so that it uses the newest/current font awesome version?

It is creating big problems when using this plugin with any other plugin that uses font awesome, which is lots.

??

When I activate the plug in it causes a conflict which results in all other Jevelin theme icons to disappear. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks.

Great and useful plugin! However when activated, the wp-admin posts panel has duplicate category widgets, and therefore the “Add New Category” link doesn’t work (duplicate ID’s I suspect). Also, very confusing for users.

When using the “Screen Options” pulldown and de-selecting the categories widget from there, only 1 widget is hidden while the other remains visible.

Thanks!

Screenshot attached. Thanks!

Please take a look at my side bar i have followed the steps but not working as expected

I love this plugin, it’s great.

Please can you add the option to collapse the categories on all pages except category pages and posts.

I have edited the code slightly to achieve this by adding

&& !is_page()
next to the !is_front_page()

to the collapscatlist.php

Anyone else who want to do this, here is all the code of collapscatlist.php

But not safe for any further updates.

url is a development site https://friendsofcms.org/cms2 – I don’t want it indexed

Problem is that when you mouse over a category link it creates a pop out box which shows code of anything in the category description box eg. the image url wp-imgage/xxxx.jpg

It would be fine if it showed the real image or text but it’s showing code.

How to fix?

Hi
Since updating to 4.9 and the most recent plugin update, my site no longer loads. I have tried disabling all other plugins and using a default WP theme, but the site will still not load, however on disabling the plugin it loads within a maximum of 5s.

Using GTMetrix, I get an average of 5-9seconds load time. If I enable the plugin, GT Metrix times out.

Hello,

on a multisite configuration, in the backend I have errors showing in posts parts.
When I write a new or edit an existing post, I have two blocks “categories” in the right col, instead of one. Both block are the same.
The first is ok, the second block is showing errors in it :

Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in mywebsite\wp-content\plugins\collapsing-category-list\classes\class-walker-category-checklist.php on line 127
Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in mywebsite\wp-content\plugins\collapsing-category-list\classes\class-walker-category-checklist.php on line 41

I have both errors for each categories

Thanks

Hi,

Is it possible for this to become a filter when viewing posts? For example, if I were to select 3-4 child categories, only the posts that fall under that category would appear. (More specifically, every time I select a new category, the page would automatically display those posts, if I deselect a category, the associated posts would disappear without having to hit refresh.)

Wish it worked better!

• Collapse/expand icons display above category names, on a separate line
• “Hide when showing a post” works perfectly on pages, but fails when showing a post–all categories are expanded, instead of just categories the post is in

I am getting this error when installing

collapsing-category-list/libraries/admin_page_framework/factory/admin_page/_model/delegate/validaor/AdminPageFramework_Model__FormSubmission__Validator__Redirect.php

hope you can help ??

After installing the most recent update, I was unable to gain access to my website. I received the following message in my browser:
Fatal error: Class ‘AdminPageFramework’ not found in /home/shopn425/public_html/wp-content/plugins/collapsing-category-list/classes/adminPageClass.php on line 3

Was told that it was not compatible; with my Theme (Virtue v. 2.8.5).

Suggestions?

Just recently installed the Collapsing Category List plugin which seems to work great, but only on the home page and 2-3 other pages of the website. When navigating to most other pages on the website, there is no indication that the plugin is functional.
I have inserted the widget into Footer Column 3 of my theme (Virtue by Kadence Themes). which I assumed affects every page on the website but as indicated, apparently works only a few select pages at this time.
I have attempted to unravel the mystery by configuring various settings adjustments including clearing the cache (I use the latest version of caching plugin called Cache Enabler by KeyCDN) but so far, no success. Any other suggestions?
The website can be viewed at https://www.shopndeliver.ca
Thank you in advance for your time, effort and support in helping assist me to resolve this matter.

Hola Jose!

Outstanding plugin. Is there an easy way to create a shortcode for this which I can insert into a page template? I want to make this style of categories my contents page. Muchas gracias, Jim

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/collapsing-category-list/

The categories of the current post are automatically expanded, how can I edit to keep them collapsed everywhere unless the user manually expands them?

Do these data trace contains useful information about errors somewhere ?
Or the elements for the solution ?

I loved your plugin. Fantastic!

It is working except tha even if I want to hide some cats, they still been displayed.

Example: <Uncategorized> cat #1 is still displayed. I tried to hide also the blog + slider cats = still been displayed.

Any solutions?

Thanks

This looks great and I could use it to replace a plugin that’s not working on WP 4.0.

Please reply when it is updated to work with WP 4.0 so I would be notified.

Thank you!

Hi!
How to make a plugin to show the category taxonomy?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/collapsing-category-list/

Thanx for a great plugin, i really like it. However, it seems to generate an enormous amount of code in the page source. I have about 100 different categories at the moment, and just the .html file alone is over half a mega byte in size! Since i’m planning to have thousands of categories, this can not continue of course. Do you have a solution to this problem?

My website is craftersu.com

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/collapsing-category-list/

Is it possible to throw some categories from the list? And that remove / category / example autoknjiga.com / category / ac / in the end remains just autoknjiga.com / ac /

autoknjiga.com is the site.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/collapsing-category-list/

Hi! Thanks for the useful plugin ??
The problem is this – there are 5 categories with subcategories, the last of them is deployed, the upgrade page.
Want that all categories were collapsed.
