Instead of relying on basic taxonomy widgets, this block elevates the presentation by turning categories, tags, or custom taxonomies into responsive, visually rich grids \u2014 all natively integrated into the Gutenberg editor. It\u2019s a powerful tool that puts you in full control of how users navigate your site\u2019s content, helping create a more intuitive and engaging browsing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taxonomy Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest strengths of the Advanced Taxonomies block is its broad compatibility. It supports a wide range of taxonomy types, making it highly versatile across different use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Native WordPress taxonomies<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 such as post categories and tags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WooCommerce taxonomies<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 including product categories and brands (with Blocksy Pro)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom taxonomies<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 any taxonomy you\u2019ve registered manually or via a plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With this flexibility, you can use the block to create cohesive, branded layouts that maintain consistency and clarity across your entire site \u2014 whether you\u2019re running a blog, an online store, or something more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Granular Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2025-02-10-at-17.22.45.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12643\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxonomy Controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in configuring the Advanced Taxonomies block is choosing which taxonomy to display. This is handled in the\u00a0<strong>\u201cTaxonomy\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0section of the settings panel. Whether you\u2019re showcasing post categories, tags, WooCommerce product categories, or even custom taxonomies you\u2019ve registered, this dropdown gives you full control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slideshow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to give your taxonomy terms a more dynamic presentation? The\u00a0<strong>Slideshow<\/strong>\u00a0option transforms the traditional grid layout into an interactive carousel \u2014 perfect for highlighting multiple terms in a visually compact space. This option is particularly useful when dealing with a long list of categories or brands that would otherwise take up too much room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can customise the slideshow behaviour with the following settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Navigation Arrows<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Toggle the visibility of arrows that let users manually browse through the slides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Autoplay<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Enable automatic scrolling with adjustable speed intervals, adding smooth motion to the block and drawing attention to your content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2056\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3456 \/ 2056;\" width=\"3456\" controls muted src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Recording-2024-12-09-at-20.56.50.mov\" playsinline><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Slider view in action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parameters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Parameters<\/strong>\u00a0section gives you precise control over which terms appear in your taxonomy display and how they\u2019re arranged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limit Terms:<\/strong>\u00a0Specify the maximum number of taxonomy terms to show.

You can show all terms, restrict to parent terms of the current context, or surface only those terms related to the current item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hide Empty Taxonomies:<\/strong>\u00a0Toggle the visibility of terms that have no associated posts, ensuring your grid stays relevant and free of placeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Advanced Taxonomies\u00a0block is designed to help you display your website\u2019s taxonomy terms in a beautifully structured and user-friendly way.
