Alphabetical Tag Index – Shortcode Parameters

This is a feature of the free and the premium plugins.

Note: This shortcode is also available as Gutenberg block. You can configure the block without using any code or parameters. Read more about the block options.

If you don’t know what is a shortcode and how to use it, you first may want to read this article.

• string: A text. For identifiers that won’t be visible to visitors you often have to replace spaces with _ or -. If the string contains spaces, you need to wrap it in quotes.
• integer: A number without decimal places.
• 0 or 1: 0 turns the feature off and 1 on.

This overview assumes that you know how to use shortcodes. Shortcodes are the traditional WordPress way how to add features into posts, pages and widgets.

Customize the locale (language-specific setting) that is used for sorting the first letters (initials). By default we use the language setting of your site. This sort order affects only the order of the first letters, not the tag order (see “orderby” and “order”).

Accepted values depend on which locales PHP can use on your server. They can have formats like “fr”, “fr_FR” or “fr_FR.UTF8”. Please ask your provider if you cannot find it by guessing or googling.

If you turn this on, then accented (or umlaut) letters will be treated like normal letters. For a list of changes see remove_accents.

ascending or descending order; use with orderby

by what to order the tags:
‘name’, ‘natural’, ‘slug’, ‘term_group’, ‘term_id’, ‘id’, ‘description’, ‘count’;

A custom sort order is available with a 3rd-party plugin.

use together with order

prepend to the tag; placeholder: {count} for post count

show the post count in the title (deprecated option, better use custom_title
