Taxonomy List Widget Reviews
Works, thanks
Works fine with version 5.8.2 Widget appears as expected, just had to remember to search for TAXONOMY widget not TAG widget.
Didn’t work
I too am using GP Theme and just wanted to show tags in sidebar. Installed plugin and nothing happened. Various configuration of the widget also did nothing and didn’t even appear in the sidebar. Coul
works great
I am using the widget to display tags in a sidebar, and don’t want to show all tags. This widget can exclude/include tags. Tested on mobile, looks and works fine (GP theme) Thank you for the plugin.
