Index with Headings 2

In the index settings page, set the following two options:

  • Display an alphabetical heading at the start of every column
  • Insert a gap between entries beginning with a different character

Save and refresh the index page.  Now that’s a little better.  If you look below, the tops of both columns are balanced nicely with a heading–the word “(continued)” is added to the second column to indicate that there are more items beginning with “S” at the end of the previous column.  Also, notice how there’s more space between the end of one section and the heading of the next.

Important Note: the exact appearance of your index depends a great deal on the theme you are using with your blog.  By default, indexes will inherit the CSS styles set by your current theme, and in some cases may make them look pretty bad, with list bullets all over the place and odd looking colors.  If you are having problems like this, please consult the AZIndex FAQ for pointers on how to fix them.

Now that your index has headings, you can make better use of them by allowing readers to quickly jump to the start of each letter in the index.  The next page shows you how to do this.

  • Hi everybody,

    I agree with all of you: this is a very Great Plugin! Thanks to Mike .

    Now I need your help (Mike or anybody who could) .

    1- I create an author index on my site . It seem working very well . But how I can group items with the same heading under one main entry without selecting subheadings ? I mean each author name appear only once and when we click on it we’ll see all his post. Please take a look on my page

    2- I have another site (same server, same hosting) but the author index page on this site can’t be read (please click on this link for reading the error message)

    Many thanks in advance

    Sorry ! I don’t know why the above link is not working .

  • GREAT plugin, thank you!!

    @curtis klope, thanks so much for the tweak, i was experiencing the same issue and was so not looking forward to diving into the code, so was thrilled to find a quick solution!

    i think it is a bug and your fix should be rolled into the next release…
