AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Category Show is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by chackal_sjc — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (1) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Category Show works
Show full descriptionShow less
It’s an easy way to show and order all posts from category/tag into a page/post. Really handy for showing your tutorials, articles, etcetera.
It shows as a list(<ul><li>) so it will apply your blog style-sheet as you wish.
Note: If the selected term(category or tag) has a description, it will be shown in a <blockquote> tag.
To see it in action click here.
Usage:
Go to Category Show’s options page and generate the tag.
Insert your new tag into your post.
Tags to know:
If you want to apply some CSS, those are the tags you should know: <h3>, <ul>, <li>, <a> and <blockquote>.
Output example:
<h3>Category</h3> <blockquote>Category description, if exists</blockquote> <ul> <li><a title="link title" rel="bookmark" href="link">title</a></li> </ul>
That’s it!
