Hi all - whats the best way to arrange categories? Normally they use alphabetic but I need to change the order differently? Is there a plugin or maybe an easy script I can add to template code to do that? Thanks all!
Take a look at: AVH Extended Categories Found here: http://blog.avirtualhome.com/wordpress-plugins/avh-extended-categories/ The AVH Extended Categories Widgets gives you three widgets for displaying categories. 1. Replacement of the default category widget to allow for greater customization. 2. A top categories widget. Shows the top X categories. This requires WordPress 2.8 or higher. 3. A Category Group widget. Shows categories from a group which is associated with the post/page that the visitor is looking at. Categories can be added to a group. Multiple groups can be made and every post/page can be associated with a different group. This requires WordPress 2.8 or higher. The replacement widget gives you the following customizable options: * Title of the widget. * Display as List or Drop-down. * Show number of posts (Count) after the category. * Hide empty categories. * Show categories hierarchical. * Show categories up to a certain depth. (Requires WordPress 2.8 or higher). * Sort by ID, Name,Count. * Sort ascending or descending. * Show RSS link after the category as text or image. * Select which categories to show. (Requires WordPress 2.5.1 or higher). The Top Categories widget gives you the following customizable options: * Title of the widget. * How many categories to show. * Display as List or Drop-down. * Show number of posts (Count) after the category. * Sort by ID, Name,Count. * Sort ascending or descending. * Show RSS link after the category as text or image. * Select which categories to show. (Requires WordPress 2.5.1 or higher). The Category Group widget gives you the following customizable options: * Title of the widget. * Display as List or Drop-down. * Show number of posts (Count) after the category. * Hide empty categories. * Sort by ID, Name,Count. * Sort ascending or descending. * Show RSS link after the category as text or image. You can set the following options for the Category Group Widget: * Which group to show on the home page. * Which group to show when no group is associated with a post. Useful for older posts that don't have the association. * Set the default group when editing or creating a post. You can also select not to show the Category Group widget by selecting the group: None
By the way - do we know how to code this in the template without making it a plugin? Just like one can customize the header of the standard WP theme?
