This plugin shows a dynamic grid view of categories (costume post types), each category reveals a beautiful show/hide jQuery list of posts underneath. Pressing on any of these posts redirects the user into a single page who contains elements like google map, email, phone, image and more.
Very easy to implement using this simple shortcode: [great-index]
Please see installation for more instructions and screenshots.
*this plugin is responsive 🙂
A brief Markdown Example
Ordered list:
- more options to the admin panel for better flexibility
- translation PO&MO files
Here’s a link to WordPress and one to Markdown’s Syntax Documentation.
Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
Installation

Great-index folderto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
