Description
Page-Cat-List is a WordPress Plugin (surprise) that you can use for generating a sorted list (where you can/must
define the order) with items from pages and categories. That’s the whole story. Unfortunately WordPress does not
implement this in its core-functionality so I had to build that on my own.
As of writing this Page-Cat-List supports:
- mix category- and page-items and display them in one list
- sort these items (first level only)
- define a title
- define a maximum depth
- define a html-id for the first ul-element
- most of the stuff you can do with get_pages and get_categories arguments:
- exclude items
- include items
- etc. pp.

FAQ
- How to define an order?
-
Just type in the page and category-ids in a comma separated list in the “Order” widget option.
The items will be displayed in the exact order you typed in from top to bottom. Remember to add
a trailing “p” to every single page id. If your page id is 42 you’ll have to write down 42p.If you’re not sure about page and category ids search for a plugin or hover the links in the
listing views and look into the statusbar of your browser. The id should be part of the url. - What am I supposed to write down in “Page Args” or “Category Args”?
-
You can define excludes and stuff like that by providing args to Page-Cat-List that you would
normally hand over to get_pages or
get_categories. Just take
the syntax from there. - Do you have some kind of example configuration?
-
Well…click on the screenshots section. The important stuff is handled there.
