@Thibault, I have updated this post with some instruction to show the listing on a sidebar widget. Check the “Adding the Listing to a Sidebar Widget” section above.

Souns like an awesome plugin!
I want to display the widget only for the category ‘games’ on my website. But where can I find the widget? And where do I have to add the shortcode?
Many thanks in advance!

@Andy, Just added a new option in the plugin to show posts from a particular category. Download the new version of the plugin from this page then read the “Show a Posts Listing From a Category” section to learn how to use it.

I really wanted it to show all the posts in a specific category. I am building a review site and would like all the film reviews to be in the A-Z but not the music reviews. they each have separate categories and separate pages . So when you were to go on the Film review page the there would be an A-Z featuring just film reviews. If you get my meaning .

@Andy, It will show a list of all the posts that are published by default. Or you can show a listing of all your pages or all your categories.

What short of specifics you had in mind?

Can you get this to show posts just from one page or category ? Got it running at the moment but it shows every post and wondered if I could get it to be more specific?

@Andy, What stage are you in? Have you activated the plugin then used one of the shortcodes mentioned in the usage page?

@Bob, when you hover over a letter, it should show you a list of all the posts/pages that starts with that alphabet. You can then click on the title and it should take you to that page.

#11 by Bob on October 16, 2012 - 7:29 am

should clicking a letter in the index result in a page with a list of post beginning with that letter?
The url’s are not working properly on a single post page(ex. click a link in the index, goes to that post, click a link in the index on that page goes to full list again.
Any help?

Nice plugin. As a variant, I wonder if having all the titles of the posts listed under the letter would be better for SEO. Hve the letters across the top and the bottom of the page and then headers like ‘ All posts starting with A’ to split up the titles. That way the users will know what they are clicking on

Hey thats a very nice plugin. I searched some months before something like that, but thats great, works within the article also!

This is the best post listing plugin out there. I couldn’t find a single a to z post listing plugin to create a directory listing type site. Thank you for making this plugin!
