Multi-Column Taxonomy List free WordPress plugin

Multi-Column Taxonomy List is a plugin that allows you to list your categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into multiple columns. This plugin is great to use on custom archives index pages to display all categories, tags, and custom taxonomies on a single page. You can also turn the list into links to the RSS feeds for your taxonomies. Usage Shortcode attributes You can implement a new list by adding the shortcode [mctl] to the content of a page. By default, it will output the categories into three columns with a heading of Categories. You can customize the output using attributes in the following format: [mctl taxonomy=’post_tag’ title=’Tags’] taxonomy: The taxonomy to retrieve terms from Valid values: category, post_tag, custom_taxonomy_name Multiple values not allowed Default: category title: Sets the title of the list Valid values: any string Default: Categories title_container: HTML element to wrap the title in Valid values: any HTML element Recommended values: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p Default: h3 columns: Sets the number of columns to use Valid values: any integer Default: 3 orderby: Sort terms by name, unique ID, slug, or the count of posts in that term Valid values: name, id, slug, count Default: name order: Sort order for the terms (either ascending or descending) Valid values: ASC, DESC Default: ASC alpha_grouping: Output the first letter of each alphabetical grouping Valid values: 0, 1 Default: 0 show_count: Toggles the display of the current count of posts in each term. 0 is false/off and 1 is true/on Valid values: 0, 1 Default: 0 exclude: Exclude one or more terms from the results.
