Every instance of the widget can be configured according to your needs. This widget helps visitors of your site to navigate through categories easily. Auto overflow style generation is supported. #### Main Features The major features of Accordion Categories include: * Display categories hierarchically. * Show/hide empty categories (without any post). * Show/hide a category post count (number of post associated with a category) including all children categories * Show categories icons (using filter) * Auto overflow padding, used for creating styles dynamically in order to prevent text overflow #### Contribution You can find the plugin source code on github [Accordion Categories](https://github.com/CROSP/accordion-categories) ## Screenshots * [[ * Widget appearance. * [[ * Widget configuration. * [[ * Show empty categories. * [[ * Autoverflow padding. * [[ * With category icons. ## Installation 1. Upload the entire `accordion-categories` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Use `Accordion Categories Menu` widget in any registered sidebar `Appearance->Widgets` #### Note If you are interested of using category icons then refer to the FAQ section. ## FAQ Why doesn’t the feature XX work ? If you have found a bug, or the plugin doesn’t work correctly, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to fix an issue. How to use category icons ? If you need to have an icon associated with a category I’d suggest you to add a custom category field. I have provided an example of adding a custom category field. You can find it in the `example/category-icon` folder. Or you can use your own implementation. The plugin provides a specific filter for that purpose. The name of the filter to hook – `accordion_category_icon`. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ddd2d83381867c0b9c4d9fc4e6e682e84a28fde5089d88c65e30ae52b4d5cd35? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-widget-55/)󠁿 [johnycooper](https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnycooper/) March 22, 2017 1 reply That is the widget I was looking for a long time.
