Folding Category List widget for Wordpress 2.3
Monday 5th November 2007
As your blog gets more and more posts, inevitably you will create more categories to cope. Eventually your categories will take up more room on your screen, and scroll across many pages. I have a blog, which has around 300 categories, and with this number the standard Wordpress category list expands the page and pushes the content below navigation to three or four pages down.
In order to solve this problem, categories can be made ‘children’ of ‘parent’ categories, and a tree like structure is created similar to the folder view in Windows Explorer.
This plug-in provides a Folding Category Plugin widget for Wordpress version 2.3 and above. It is still in a relatively early phase of development, however it is being run on this website and my paranormal website (Your Paranormal).
Quick Features
- Only uses one SQL query so it does not put strain on server (except when post count is enabled)
- Priority based category selection where multiple categories are available (e.g. single post view)
- Wordpress 2.3 support
