Multi-Column Taxonomy List is a plugin that allows you to list your categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into multiple columns.
This plugin is great to use on custom archives index pages to display all categories, tags, and custom taxonomies on a single page. You can also turn the list into links to the RSS feeds for your taxonomies.

FAQ
Does this work with custom taxonomies I have created?
Yes! To use your custom taxonomy that you have registered with register_taxonomy
, simply add the taxonomy=custom_taxonomy_name
attribute.
I’m not seeing any output with my custom taxonomy
If you are having problems seeing any output with your custom taxonomy, it’s usually one of two things:
- You set
public => false
when you registered the taxonomy. It needs to be true: public => true
- There are no posts assigned to that taxonomy.
How do I customize the CSS?
If you want to customize the appearance of the lists using your own CSS, here’s how to do it:
- Add this code to your theme’s
functions.php
file: add_filter( 'mctl_css', '__return_false' );
- Copy everything from
css/multi-column-taxonomy-list.css
into your theme’s style.css
- Change the CSS properties in your theme’s
style.css
as needed
How do I display my terms with an alphabetical grouping?
All you need to do is add the following property to the shortcode: alpha_grouping=1
