Descriere
Simple Category List is built for production sites: multiple presets, a clear admin UI, transient-backed term queries, and optional per-shortcode overrides.
Good for: WooCommerce product categories and tags, blog categories, custom post types, any public taxonomy (e.g. product_cat, category, custom taxonomies), hierarchical or flat term lists, and theme builders that support shortcodes.
WordPress.org allows only five plugin tags; related terms above help people find this page in search.
Features
- Multiple lists — each row has a numeric id, a URL slug, and JSON settings (taxonomy, exclude list, default title, design).
- Shortcodes —
[category_list id="2"],[category_list preset="my-slug"], or[category_list](first list). Other attributes override saved defaults. - Front-end design — heading level, colors, spacing, list markers via CSS custom properties on the wrapper.
- Top-level admin menu “Category lists” (dashicon) with All lists and Add new.
- Migration — legacy
nzp_scl_config/nzp_option_namedata is migrated when possible.
Bootstrap files
- Root
index.php— WordPress plugin header, constants,register_activation_hook, andrequireofincludes/bootstrap.php. includes/bootstrap.php— PSR-style autoload, text domain,Pluginbootstrap. Not loadable on its own (guards require WordPress +NZP_CATEGORY_LIST_LOADED).

Add / Edit list — shortcode defaults and design. 
Instalare
- Upload the
categorylistfolder to/wp-content/plugins/(or ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload). - Activate Simple Category List.
- If you upgraded from a build that used
category_list.phpas the main file, deactivate and activate the plugin once so WordPress loadsindex.php. - Go to Category lists, create lists, copy shortcodes.
Translations: place wp-categorylist-show-{locale}.mo files in the languages/ folder (same folder name as the Text Domain). A blank languages/index.php ships to block direct directory access.
