Developer Documentation

Developer documentation can be found in DEVELOPER-DOCS.md. That documentation covers the template tag and hook provided by the plugin.

As an overview, this is the template tag provided by the plugin:

  • c2c_linkify_categories() : Template tag to display links to each of any number of categories specified via category IDs/slugs. You can customize text to show before and/or after the entire listing, between each category, and what to display (if anything) when no categories are listed.

This is the hook provided by the plugin:

  • c2c_linkify_categories : Allows use of an alternative approach to safely invoke c2c_linkify_categories() in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function won’t cause errors in your site.
