Hi,

I have not tried PODs, but if their custom post types are normal WordPress custom post types with a fancy management user-interface to create them then I believe it should work just fine. You’ll want to use display="posts" along with post-type="your-pods-post-type-slug" to test that theory.

Hi,

I haven’t found the problem yet. I’m still looking into the problem, though, and hope to find a solution for you in the next update.

Thanks for the update. I’ll keep digging ??

Hi,

I haven’t found the problem yet, but I notice in your original post your quote characters are not the usual " but are special quotes ”. Can I ask that you double check which quotes are in your shortcode please, because the special ones will break the matching of the value. You could try, as the parameter is a single word with no spaces, eliminating the quotes altogether to be sure the type of quote isn’t an issue:

[a-z-listing ... hide-empty-terms=true]

Hi,

Are you referring to the “back to top” link? The easiest way to hide this is with some CSS added to your theme’s style.css file or added via the Theme Customizer page’s Additional CSS field:

.az-listing .back-to-top {
    display: none;
}

Hi,

The plugin doesn’t provide a mechanism to limit the number of entries. If you’re showing posts then you can filter the posts by taxonomy-term to reduce the number of results prior to indexing.

The problem is that in order to sort the list every post has to be loaded to fetch the title and work out the letter it belongs to. While the plugin does its best to reduce memory overhead the more posts you have in a list the more memory will be required to create the index. I plan to investigate a new method of building the listing, which might be able to use a wp-cron to incrementally build the listing, but I don’t want to break backward compatibility and ease of use of the shortcode/block so it is somewhat a difficult prospect.

Hi,

Thanks for the topic, it does sound like I’ve broken it in version 4.0.0+ ??

I’ll try to find out what’s up and release an update with a fix when I work out what I broke.

Three columns is the configured default. There are two ways you may change this:

1. If you are using the new WordPress Block Editor for your posts, you can edit the page with the shortcode on it and replace the shortcode with the A-Z Listing block. If the shortcode is currently inside a “Shortcode Block” in the block editor then it will be upgraded automatically. Once you have an A-Z Listing block on the page you should be able to adjust the column count in the editor’s sidebar.
2. Alternatively, you may include the following CSS (with your preferred number of columns) into the Theme Customizer’s “Additional CSS” box (navigation route: wp-admin -> Themes -> Customize -> Additional CSS):

   :root {
       --a-z-listing-column-count: 4;
   }

I’m glad that everything is working for you now. Thank you for confirming ??

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I’ve reinstated the missing get_the_letter_count in version 4.1.3 which I released a few minutes ago.

Version 4.1.3 released today should fix both of these issues:

i.e. it should fix the block editor crash, and the undefined method error.

Hi, can you try updating to version 4.1.3 which I released a short time ago. I think this should fix the issue for you.

I’m happy to hear that everything is working for you now ??

Not finding the GutenBlock class shouldn’t happen, because the plugin uses an autoloader to find the right file. I don’t know how your site has got into a state where it can’t find the plugin files it needs. Can you try downloading the plugin again and reinstalling, please?

Hi,

Could you edit your post to put your A-Z Listing page’s address into the “Link to the page you need help with” field, please, so that I may investigate?
