WordPress Glossary Plugin (CMTG) - Terms - Using Categories - Dividing Glossary Into Sections

Glossary Categories 

Back to User Guide

The WordPress Glossary plugin Pro+ and eCommerce editions support the use of term categories, which can provide a solution for the following use cases:

• Divide the glossary into sections - Explained in this guide.
• Use several glossaries on the same site (in combination with using shortcodes) - Learn more in the specific guide.

How to create and display your term categories?

The first step in creating the term categories is by going to the Admin Dashboard → CM Tooltip Glossary → Categories as shown below:

Next, using the WordPress built in category management system, create your term categories and assign different terms to each of them:

Once categories have been added, it is possible to assign each of your glossary terms to the category/categories it belongs to, as shown in the screenshot below:

How will my term categories be made visible?

A Categories dropbox will appear in the Glossary Index Page, allowing users to choose between the different term categories, as shown below: 

Category Settings

There are a few settings while creating/editing a category, which allow you to override global plugin settings:
