08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot current term sibling links
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The term has no siblings with posts, or this is not a term archive.
Why is the current category not a link?
It is the page being viewed; it is marked as current instead. Switch off Include the current term to leave it out.
Why are some categories missing?
Empty categories are left out, or the limit was reached.
What do screen readers announce?
A navigation region named after the taxonomy, or the name you set.
Current term sibling links plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?

What counts as a sibling?
Terms with the same parent; for top-level terms, the other top-level terms.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is a named navigation list with the current page marked.
Does it work on product categories?
