Simple Category List

Simple Category List is built for production sites: multiple presets, a clear admin UI, transient-backed term queries, and optional per-shortcode overrides.

Good for: WooCommerce product categories and tags, blog categories, custom post types, any public taxonomy (e.g. product_cat, category, custom taxonomies), hierarchical or flat term lists, and theme builders that support shortcodes.

WordPress.org allows only five plugin tags; related terms above help people find this page in search.

Features

• Multiple lists — each row has a numeric id, a URL slug, and JSON settings (taxonomy, exclude list, default title, design).
• Shortcodes — [category_list id="2"], [category_list preset="my-slug"], or [category_list] (first list). Other attributes override saved defaults.
• Front-end design — heading level, colors, spacing, list markers via CSS custom properties on the wrapper.
• Top-level admin menu “Category lists” (dashicon) with All lists and Add new.
• Migration — legacy nzp_scl_config / nzp_option_name data is migrated when possible.

Bootstrap files

• Root index.php — WordPress plugin header, constants, register_activation_hook, and require of includes/bootstrap.php.
• includes/bootstrap.php — PSR-style autoload, text domain, Plugin bootstrap. Not loadable on its own (guards require WordPress + NZP_CATEGORY_LIST_LOADED).
