shortcode for list category terms in hierarchical order
6 replies · Started by arachno on November 18, 2020
Hi,
We need to create a shortcode that displays the linked categories in hierarchical order instead of alphabetical.
Is it possible to achieve it with a function to be placed in the functions.php file of the child theme and then set a shortcode that will be called in the article editor?
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
Sorry just to confirm, this is not what you are looking for?

If not then it would require a custom solution unfortunately.
I would recommend the following two solutions:
- Try this plugin:
https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/
- Open a support topic with the WordPress support team and ask them if they can provide a way to modify that widget (it's a WP core widget) to the way you want.
where did you take the screenshot of the categories order box?
I see it's in the widget area but I need to place them in a hook or a specific place in the article, maybe we will use the plugin.
thanks
That's from the Widgets screen. The Categories widget is a WordPress core widget:

You can turn the widget into a shortcode using a plugin like this:

Then add it with a hook element:

Thanks for your help !
No problem :)
