This plugin includes a block and shortcode for the list, along with a widget for linking to the list from any location on a site. If a letter has no associated pages, the widget will display the letter unlinked, while the list page will omit the letter entirely. Show posts from any single or multiple post types, including built-in posts and pages. Post types from plugins like WooCommerce products are also supported. Alternatively, display terms such as categories or tags. _This plugin is based on the original **A-Z Listing** by Lucy (formerly Dani) Llewellyn, which is no longer maintained. Custom templates built for the original plugin may not work reliably with this version. For the most up-to-date example template, see the [example template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lin87/alphalisting/refs/heads/main/templates/a-z-listing.example.php)._ ### Documentation Comprehensive documentation is now available: * [Overview](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki) * [Installation](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/Installation) * [Gutenberg block usage](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/Gutenberg-Block) * [Shortcode reference](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/Shortcode-References) * [PHP usage](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/PHP-Usage) * [Templates and theming](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/Templates-and-Theming) * [Frequently asked questions](https://github.com/Lin87/alphalisting/wiki/FAQs) ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of the index listing page * [[ * The Widget is shown here ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * AlphaListing ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. #### Requirements 1.

Thanks again for all your efforts. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b023a8915aceb4085e63f22d4515cdaf272ac95066e6cd4bb75fc1d86b9b122? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-2436/)󠁿 [Ruskin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hedley/) 12, Xineru de 2026 I recently noticed that A-Z Listing appears to be abandoned, so I was happy to see that Ethan Lin had forked it. Transition to the new plugin could not have been easier, and so far it seems to work perfectly. This is my third A-Z plugin (I started with WP-Snap years ago, which was also abandoned and replaced by A-Z Listing). Thanks Ethan! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51b84b1df3ea44bbd12bc6122419e583464f3a67c25659a0bcd759c0d21ebfca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ersatz für AZindex](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ersatz-fur-azindex/)󠁿 [rroeske](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rroeske/) 29, Ochobre de 2025 Hello Ethan, I found your plugin today, and it seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve been using AZIndex for about 15 years, which is no longer being developed. I’m testing it now and will keep you updated… Thanks for your work. Update 29.10.2025: Hi Ethan, I’ve been testing your plugin for a while now and I’m thrilled. It’s easy to use and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5fc1f9c26b4dc3568084f5aa2a5716b447404c4fbb03d996fc48d45c9c3ace53? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent option for a-z product listings index](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-option-for-a-z-product-listings-index/)󠁿 [Martin Freisinger](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martyshka/) 3, Ochobre de 2025 Exactly the plugin I was looking for to create a smooth listing of all my shop’s products.
