Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

It’s an easy way to show and order all posts from category/tag into a page/post. Really handy for showing your tutorials, articles, etcetera.

It shows as a list(<ul><li>) so it will apply your blog style-sheet as you wish.

Note: If the selected term(category or tag) has a description, it will be shown in a <blockquote> tag.

To see it in action click here.

Usage:

-

Go to Category Show’s options page and generate the tag.

-

Insert your new tag into your post.

Tags to know:

If you want to apply some CSS, those are the tags you should know: <h3>, <ul>, <li>, <a> and <blockquote>.

Output example:

<h3>Category</h3> <blockquote>Category description, if exists</blockquote> <ul> <li><a title="link title" rel="bookmark" href="link">title</a></li> </ul>

That’s it!
