Maybe I missed it, but is there a way to only show the parent category with the total count including subcategories? Currently it seems to just list all categories. Thanks

Hi,
I would like to put this widget in the main area of the page. Can anyone tell me how to do that.
(Currently I am using another plugin to create shortcode but it has security issues.)
Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thank you for your plugin!

I have an issue I can’t seem to resolve. When hovering over top of the second widget the content (tags) below jump up. With the top widget all is normal.

I’ve checked my css and had all other plugins deactivated, but no difference.

Can you help me out with fixing this?

I have the hover colours for the main menu items set to white. Some of these menu items have drop down menus, but when you hover over those drop down items the colour remains the same. How do I change that to also be white?

Hi,

I would like the tag cloud to have a different theme, now one theme is apllied to all widgets. I’m not familliar with filters. What code should I apply to have the category widget to display with no theme and the tag widget to display with box theme?

Hello. I am using two widgets, with categories and tags. But I can’t see different themes in the two widgets, for some reason both widgets look the same, but different themes are set in the widget settings.

This is how the labels appear:

Why? How can I eliminate them?

Hi,

At the moment the plugin applies to ALL taxonomies, that is, categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.

Is there a way to limit it only to categories?

Thx!

Hi,

I am working on a website with the theme Neve and I cannot see the colors for the categories on the front end? Can you help, thank you.

On the plugin page it says:

Open the page to edit tags or categories and change the colour in the column “Color”.

The problem is there is no Color column. Not on the post page, not on the blog/archive page, not in the widgets settings. I was using this plugin for some time now. But recently I added a new category while making a new post, and the color for that category was assigned randomly.

The screenshots on the plugin page show settings page that I remember from before:

But I can not find these settings any more.

Anyone else has the same problem?

Hi there,

is there a way to display category colours in the Blog page designed on Elementor?

Hi,
is there an option to display not all categories but only the one that is assigned to post?
Thank you!

Hello guys,

Does anybody know how to get colorful categories in the post pages, and also in the blog archive page?
I’d like to achieve something like that on the Theme GridLove:

(I don’t know if it’s allowed to post that kind of link here)
Thanks so much

Hello,

I am really enjoying the plugin and how it makes the site look on the shop page. Thanks.

One thing I couldn’t figure out, I would like the “Active Product Filters” to communicate with the Colorful Categories widget.

Is this possible?

Hi, love your plugin.

Though I would like to know if it’s possible to change the hover colors of the box’s.

Specifically i ant to change tags and category box’s hover-colors a white background but when hovering over them it should change to the same color as the header-menu (#00a3ac).

Is it possible to change it with custom CSS styles?

Hi,
How you can change the color of the category labels on the pages. As in the home page in the article list and in the slider like. If I change the css it changes color to all categories.
Thank you

Hi, how to implement colorful categories on front-end of activated theme?

Good morning,
I noticed that in the database, in the “term_meta” table the record is not overwritten but a new record is added with the new color selected.

I believe this can create problems.

What do you think?

Regards
Thank you

The category color cannot be saved. After installing the desired color, I overload the page – and the colors return to the ones installed by the plugin itself.

I would like to expand the colour codes across some other elements of the site for example, the blog post titles on both the blog page and single post pages. would it be possible to provide a snippet which would achieve this? I can provide the URL privately if necessary

using get_term_meta($term_id, ‘cc_color’, true); function.But can not get color return null value.How I get the color ?

Group some tags by colors. Is it possible to group some tags, which belong to the same category group by colors?

The wp_termmeta DB does not appear to be populating once I add colors to my category, therefore when I try to grab the contents with get_term_meta($term_id, ‘cc_color’, true); it returns nothing.

So sorry, was meant for another plugin page. Can you delete, please? Can’t find the way to do it myself. Thanks.

Hello, I would like to know how I can use this plugin in a proper theme for example in a custom field is called like this: <p style = “color:<? php the_field (‘color’)?>”> Example</ p>

Hello –

I see there is an available filter to modify the list of themes for use within the widget colorful_categories_themes, however there is no hook to actually modify the output of the widget. This filter simply adds the key of the theme as a class to the default theme.

Could you add another filter to actually modify the output of the widget? Let me know if you need assistance with this.

How can i set up the plugin so a child category gets the same color as the parent?
Or disable colors of child categories?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I love your widget, and I think, it would be great, to have the same widget for authors (list authors for multisite).
Could you write to me please, do you have any plan to create “the colorful list authors” widget?
I would like to have it on my blog.

Kind Regards

Getting the color from the database to use in my theme works, but it’s a hexcode. Is it possible to retrieve it as RGB or RGBA color value?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

First thanks for this really useful plugin. I have some troubles to get it works – maybe due to me.

I am using WP rest json api and I would like to add a ‘color’ field when requesting categories.

The code doing this is really simple :

function get_category_color( $object, $field_name, $request ) {
	return get_term_meta($object['id'], ‘cc_color’, true);
}

Here, get_term_meta exists (checked with function_exists) and $object['id'] is my category id.

The table seems also good :

MariaDB [wordpress]> select * from wp_termmeta;
+---------+---------+----------+------------+
| meta_id | term_id | meta_key | meta_value |
+---------+---------+----------+------------+
|       1 |       5 | cc_color | #e5a629    |
|       2 |       3 | cc_color | #ff0245    |
|       3 |       2 | cc_color | #FF5B84    |
|       4 |       1 | cc_color | #8B80FE    |
|       5 |       6 | cc_color | #D50184    |
|       6 |       4 | cc_color | #850400    |
|       7 |       5 | cc_color | #e5a629    |
|       8 |       5 | cc_color | #e5a629    |
+---------+---------+----------+------------+

But the ‘color’ fields is always an empty string. Of course, I’ve tried to check my setup by returning directly a string and it works great.

I don’t really know what to do (I’m not really use to work with wp).

Thanks a lot !
