03 / Website use cases
Where to use public post alphabetical index
Glossaries, recipe collections, directories and shops grow until visitors cannot find a title by scrolling. This widget lists the published posts, pages or products you choose from A to Z under letter headings, with a bar of letters that jump down the page, optionally only from some categories, filing accented titles under their plain letter, numbers under # and, if you like, ignoring a leading The or A.
Recipe and article indexes
Every title in a category.
Shop directories
Products by name.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot public post alphabetical index
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is a post missing?
It is not published, has a password, is outside the chosen categories, or the most-items limit was reached.
Why is a title under the wrong letter?
Ignoring a leading word may be on; “A year of loaves” then files under Y.
Why do some letters look faded?
Nothing is filed under them; turn off showing letters with nothing under them to hide them.
Public post alphabetical index plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it work with WooCommerce products?
Yes. Choose products, and product categories if you like.
How many items can it list?
Up to 500; 200 by default.
Does it need JavaScript?
No. The letters are ordinary links to the headings on the page.
