Alphabetical Tag Index – Shortcode Parameters

This is a feature of the Free, Tag Cloud Plus and Premium plans.

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.

Shortcode

[tag_groups_alphabetical_index]

Example

[tag_groups_alphabetical_index column_count=2]

Data Types

• 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.

Parameters

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.

locale

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.
