Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How can I have my category widget display it's categories in multiple columns?

It appears others have done something like the below code. However, I'm not sure where this would go?

Thanks in advance!



<?php
$get_cats = wp_list_categories( 'echo=0&title_li=&depth=1&hide_empty=0' );
// Get cats

$cat_array = explode('</li>',$get_cats);
// Split into array items

$columns = 4;
// How many columns (virtual)

$cats_shown = 0;
// Don't touch this, this is just a counter (used below)

echo '<ul style="display:inline;">';

foreach($cat_array as $category) {
$cats_shown++;

// The 2 lines below can be removed if you apply the style definitions to the classes (ie. cat-item, cat-item a etc..)
// This was just quicker and easier for me to use whilst testing the code.
$category = str_replace('<li','<li style="display:inline"',$category);
$category = str_replace('<a href','<a style="width:160px;display:block;float:left" href',$category);

if($cats_shown % $columns == 0) {
// If the counter is a multiple of the columns to show
print $category.'</li></ul><br /><ul style="display:inline;">';
}
else {
// Else just a regular item
print $category.'</li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
?>

off the top, I'd guess they put it in the widget.

Well... I haven't installed any third party category plugin or widget. The category widget is the default installed when you install wordpress, and I'm using the Atahualpa theme, by the way and I love it. I just don't know where to add the above code to have multiple columns for the category widget.

well it would have to go into the plugin's code, of course you better have a wide sidebar or there's not going to be much space for the comments...
