November 15, 2014 - Custom Content, Shortcodes

[category_list cat_type="category"]

Makes a simple, alphabetized bulleted list of all the categories of a particular type.

Especially useful for custom content type categories, where a category page does not seem to be automatic...

As of 9/30/14, the following custom cat_type entries are valid:

  • audience
  • category*
  • committee_name
  • committee_year
  • division
  • event-categories
  • event-tags
  • externship_category
  • externship_semester
  • externship_type
  • following_users
  • forum
  • nav_menu*
  • newsletter
  • post_status
  • post_tag*
  • process
  • topic_tag

*Several of these will not create valid links because the associate content type does not support generic archive listings

See the current list of user-defined, custom categories at  https://insidelaw.gsu.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=ctc-page
