Display Terms Shortcode

The Display Terms Shortcode was written to allow users to easily display listings of terms without knowing PHP or editing template files.

Add the shortcode in a post, page or widget and use the arguments to query based on tag, category, post type, and many other possibilities. You can also customize the output with parameters like: include, child_of, and show_image.

To use the shortcode, simply place the [display-terms] shortcode in any post, page or widget and change the parameters to your liking.

Available parameters (and defaults):

• taxonomy => ‘category’
• orderby => ‘name’
• order => ‘ASC’
