I have this:

Editions (Parent)
|
+—-> Edition #01 (Child)
|
+—-> Edition #02 (Child)
|
+—-> Edition #03 (Child)

I want to show a list with all the child categories, what is the shortcode?
Sorry, I don’t get it with the help guide.

Thanks.

I was able to use the shortcode to a page successfully. However, when I use <?php multi_column_tax_list( ‘taxonomy=my_category_name’ );?> it changes Menus, Lists, and the Categories (every list it finds on the homepage) into columns. Am I doing something wrong or missing anything? pls help anyone

Hello Support,

Please let me know how we can show the woocommerce product categories in multiple columns.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

Hello!
I have just downloaded the plugin. It’s great!
I have only a question: how can I show all my categories (categories and subcategories) in the list?
In this moment I only see the categories and subcategories of my site without a hierarchy.

For example:
Category: Europe
Subcategory: Ireland

I see both categories
Europe
…
Ireland

But not as a list:
Europe
–>Ireland

In which way I have to manage the plugin? I tried to change the parent and the child_of string (switch form nohing to 0 or 1) but nothing happened.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance for a reply.

Use the hook in the FAQ to turn off the css template, copy the css from that template into your theme style sheet and add this below it.

/* Directs 3 columns to respond into 1 column for smart phones */
@media only screen and (max-width: 660px) {
.multi-column-taxonomy-list ul, ul.multi-column-1, ul.multi-column-2, ul.multi-column-3 {
width:100%;
}
}

Second time, I’ve attempted to add this. There are many more complex responsive settings that could be used for individual situations.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

The plugin works fine for me on 4.1.1 wordpress.

If you want the columns to respond from 3 to 1, as I did you might start with css code like the code below. First you will need to follow the plugin author’s instructions for turning off the css template with a filter hook, then copy the css from the plugin into your own css page.

Then below that you can add the following code and modify it as necessary.

/* Making Multi Column Taxonomy List 3 column display respond down to 1 column for smart phones */
@media only screen and (max-width: 660px)  {
  .multi-column-taxonomy-list ul, ul.multi-column-1, ul.multi-column-2, ul.multi-column-3 {
  width:100%;
  }
}

Setting the orderby in the shortcode doesn’t seem to effect the display of my list..

I tried both:
[mctl taxonomy=’category’ rss=’1′ orderby=’name’ title=’Subscribe to Topics’]
[mctl taxonomy=’category’ rss=’1′ orderby=’slug’ title=’Subscribe to Topics’]

but neither one seems to effect the order of my taxonomy list.

Hello,

Is there any way we can list posts too? I think it’s a good idea instead of installing another plugin.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

I am not exactly sure about how to go about using the **parent** or **child_of** attributes in the shortcode. The syntax is not obvious to me. I tried using this:

[mctl taxonomy=’category’ parent=’1′]

but this doesn’t seem to do anything, as I suspect the syntax is incorrect. If I could see just one good example, I could understand how to use ALL of the attributes.

I have a list of about 30 top-level (parent) categories. Each one has at least one level of child category associated with it.

I only need to see the list of the parent categories, as long as the user can click on them to see their children.

Is there a way to do this?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

Thank you for this amazing plugin. But I need your help in one tiny thing.
I created a taxonomy called issue that i can upload images to it. How can I display the images for this taxonomy. The content of my page is :

[mctl taxonomy=’issue’ title=’Issues’]

do i need to change in the php code or just in the page content ?

Thank you in advance.

hide_empty=”0″ stopped working after latest update, how can we get this working again?

I am using this plugin to generate a page at https://tngenweb.org/whos-who/browse-by-surname/. Is there a way to set the shortcode so that it only shows results that start with a specific letter? For example, can I set it so that it pulls only those posts that start with the letter “A”.”

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

I hope I get a response to this question, as I see not very many questions have been answered, however, I am going to post it hoping I can receive a bit of support so here goes:

Is there a way I can modify the code to open a category instead of it going to the excerpt page?

I have categories with one post in each and I have this plugin installed to show those categories however, when I click on the link it takes me to the excerpt page instead of the full post.

Can this be modified to open full post in that category and if so, what do I need to add and/or modify in the code?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

I’m still having a problem with using [mctl] shortcode on a page. Oddly, all the other variables of the shortcodes show their taxonomies perfectly, but the basic one shows an error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/epicurus/public_html/food/recipes/wp-content/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/multi-column-taxonomy-list.php on line 212
However, in another WP installation, the code works perfectly, with the same plugins. I presumed it might be a plugin conflict, but the issue remains even if I deactivate all the plugins.

The error breaks the remainder of the page as you’ll see here: https://www.epicurus.com/food/recipes/the-categories yet it works even in this installation with other categories as you can see: https://www.epicurus.com/food/recipes/categories/baking

It works exactly as it should in this separate WP install: https://www.epicurus.com/beverages/categories

How do I fix it? It’s a very important part of my site and I’d much appreciate your kind help in resolving it. Thanks Matt!

Hi,

How can I set a font size in the CSS and where would I add it?

Hi,

Is it possible to me to change the default URL/Link of the category/taxonomy to a custom link?

Something like:

Accounting and Finance (34)

When clicked it should take the user to domain.com/job-categories/accounting-and-finance-jobs/

But instead, i would like it to redirect to a custom link domain.com/find-jobs?accounting-and-finance-jobs

Can this be done somehow?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

I’m using this plugin, and the “like” attribute seems to be looking for the letter within the name, instead of just the first letter.

https://dfcmopen.com/view-topics/

how can I fix this?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

When I use the shortcode with no parameters, it works fine. When I enter my custom taxonomy, it doesn’t display. I saw this in the FAQ as a possible culprit:

You set public => false when you registered the taxonomy. It needs to be true: public => true

But where can I go to change that? I set up the taxonomy using the Custom Post Types plugin and can’t for the life of me figure out where to see what the public setting was originally.

The odd thing is that I know it’s doing something because it sticks my sidebar in the main area, so the columns are having some affect on the page still, it’s just not displaying the information. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Janell

how to make, so that only the desired tags?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

I have shown list of categories name to a page. But there is no link/permalink attached /shown to that categories name. When I tried to click on the categories name, there is no link attached to it or not redirect to that categories permalinks.

I have used this plugin in this page:

I have used the following code to display categories name

[mctl taxonomy=’category’ title=’Actor’ columns=’3′ child_of=’74’ hide_empty=’0′ ‘]

I want to display list of categories on page with link to their categories permalink.

Kindly tell me how to solve it.

I have used this plugin and I have shown list of categories name to a page. But there is no link to that categories name. When I tried to click on the categories name, there is no link attached to it.

I have used this plugin in this page:

I used this code to display this categories name :

[mctl taxonomy=’category’ title=’Actor’ columns=’3′ child_of=’73’ hide_empty=’0′ exclude=’819,813,816,814,815,817,818′]

I want to display list of categories on page with link to their categories permalink.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

This is a screenshot of the categories I want to display on the home page.

Like this,

Medical Jobs (22) Customer Service jobs (33) Volunteer Jobs (44)

THis is the shortcode I’ve used but nothing is displayed

[mctl show_count=’1′ parent=’job categories’]

also tried [mctl show_count=’1′ orderby=’name’ taxonomy=’job-categories’ title=”]

Could it be hiding empty categories?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,

Great plugin! Exactly what I was looking for. I have a few questions and hope for improvements:

1.
When changing to 2 or 1 column view the CSS doesn’t adjust so that two coloumns share 50% width each. The page is still devided into 3 columns but only showing content in two.

2.
Support for “?, ?, ?” characters. Categories with these letters become: ? etc.

3.
Possible that a column always starts with a letter if (alpha_grouping=’1′) instead of breaking the output of a given letter into two coloumns?

Hello,

Is it possible to show a taxonomy terms child terms as an indented list below each parent?

So it would something like this:

Taxonomy One
– Child Taxonomy Term One
– Child Taxonomy Term Two
– Child Taxonomy Term Three

Taxonomy Two

Taxonomy Three

Taxonomy Four
– Child Taxonomy Term One
– Child Taxonomy Term Two
– Child Taxonomy Term Three

etc
etc

At the moment, they all list non-hierachically.

MCTL is running Tags lists on the site:
https://www.vaultcollectibles.com/comic-art/

with this short code:
[mctl taxonomy=’post_tag’ ‘alpha_grouping=1′ title=’ARTISTS’]

Trying to use the like attribute for lists of individual categories.
This shortcode is outputting ALL categories:
[mctl taxonomy=’category’ like=’collectibles-2′ ‘alpha_grouping=1′ title=’CATEGORY TITLE’]
here:
https://www.vaultcollectibles.com/test-category-list/

Am I using like attribute incorrectly?

Thank you, robert

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/

My shortcode:

[mctl taxonomy=”post_tag”]

Error I see:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/constructionrisk/constructionrisk.com/wp-content/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/multi-column-taxonomy-list.php on line 212

What am I missing?

Thanks!!

Is there a way – or just shortcode – to display all my categories in one long list, with the main category and sub-categories under each?

Here’s my page – https://mailninja.co.uk/blog/category-listing/

Hi Matt,

I’m getting this error:
[01-May-2013 16:44:53 UTC] PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/MYSITE/public_html/food/recipes/wp-content/plugins/multi-column-taxonomy-list/multi-column-taxonomy-list.php on line 188

It occurred twice only, and this is the last of them. But it’s clearly something to look into.

I have PHP 5.4, dedicated server, plenty of memory and resources.

Any ideas? Thanks!
