Thanks for your question, which has come up in earlier topics:
Category Menu
Tag cloud as a hierarchical list
The current MLA version has the [mla_tag_cloud]
shortcode for a “flat” display but does not have a nicely structured “hierarchical” display shortcode or option. About a year ago I wrote:
I did some preliminary research on adding this feature but have not started development. The WordPress core team has a project which will change the way WordPress itself supports these features and I am waiting to see what they do.
I haven’t seen any further progress on that front so I may revisit my own development plans in the near future. For a PHP-based solution you can use the WordPress wp_list_categories()
function. You can find details for using wp_list_categories()
in these topics:
How to display pad_counts for hierarchical taxonomies
Structured list of tags
Once you have worked out the “list” portion of your application you will have to address what happens when a user selects a term. That will bring you to this related issue:
Att Categories menu returns 404 error
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read through the earlier topics and adapt them to your application. I will leave this topic unresolved for now. Please post an update with your progress and any problems/further questions you have. I am happy to give you more help for your specific situation. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
