Only show Categories starting with specific letter

Hi,

My plugin doesn’t support this quite how you want it. I have supplied a small javascript file that, when loaded, will “hide” some of the list so that only a single letter is showing at a time. However, this is done entirely in the browser so you won’t have a separate page for each letter.

You can experiment with this to see if it suits you with the following code added to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'a_z_listing_tabify', '__return_true' );

The script uses jQuery-UI’s “tabs” functionality to implement the feature.

Hi Daniel,

I’m not seeing the js file that you’ve supplied. Or is there some other way that I have to get the js file?

The file is at wp-content/plugins/a-z-listing/scripts/a-z-listing-tabs.js. The code I posted above should be sufficient to cause it to be loaded.

Thanks a lot. I’ve tried it out. It works great. It’s currently showing only categories starting with “a”. Is there an option to set the letter instead of “a”. That way I would be able to create it on different pages with different letters.

You can link to a specific letter by appending #letter-a, #letter-b, #letter-c, etc to the address of the page: https://example.com/a-z-listing#letter-a. Note that this is entirely handled in the browser – everything after a # in a web address is only ever seen by the browser, and never sent to the server. That means while it appears to be different pages it is actually all the same page with different bits hidden and shown on-demand.
