By default, Codeat’s Glossary will let you reach/show the “letter archives” by the single first initial or by a number.

For example, https://YOURSITE.EXT/glossary/?az=a will show you a page containing all the terms of your glossary that begin with the letter A.

Likewise, https://codeat.co/glossary/glossary/?az=7 will show you a page containing all the terms of your glossary identified by the number 7.

This functionality, for example, will allow you to create menu entries for each single “letter archive” through the use of the “custom link” functionality of WordPress menus.

On another case, these same URLs are automatically used by the PRO shortcode

Although Codeat’s Glossary has not yet beed translated in all languages, it is designed to function in any and all languages. It currently supports both RTL and LTR alphabets as well as non-latin fonts.

At the time of writing, we have tested it internally with Hebrew, Arabic, German, Japanese, Cherokee, Russian and Greek and others. We welcome all feedback on these and other languages.

If you encounter any difficulty, please don’t hesitate to contact Codeat’s support: we are there for you!

By default, Glossary’s internal search engine – the one that links key terms to their definitions – is not case-sensitive. This means that it does not see a difference between lowercase and uppercase letters.

You can change this behaviour – thus distinguishing between terms that written in different cases – by activating the dedicated option available in the PRO Settings panel in the “Behaviour” section.

Glossary for WordPress automatically creates a link for each occurrence of a key term within a post or page.
To curb excessive visual information, Codeat Glossary PRO offers the option to automatically generate a link only for the first occurrence of a key term within a post or page.

This way, your reader will be able to access the term’s description the first time s/he encounters it but will be left with clean navigation after that.

E.g. Linked – not linked

Lorem ipsum sit color atque term, sic moduque other key of the same term ratio ignis term in comoradius other key of the same term.

This option is available in the “Behavior” section of the PRO Settings panel.

Glossary for WordPress automatically creates a link for each occurrence of a key term and of all terms associated with that description.

Since this can get excessive (and annoying) Codeat Glossary PRO offers the option to automatically generate a link ONLY for the first occurrence of any and all key terms, that point to the same description.

E.g. Linked – Not linked

Lorem ipsum sit color atque term, sic moduque other key of the same term ratio ignis term in comoradius other key of the same term.
