    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a shortcode for the categories widget. What I’m trying to do is wrap the categories a div something like this:

    <div class=”three-col”>[connections_categories]</div>

    When you add it via the widget provided it doesn’t give an option to wrap in a div tag.

    Thank you,
    Shanna

    No, the category widget does not have a shortcode option. I’ve never used it so I can not confirm if it work or not, but you could try the Widget Shortcode plugin.

    Hope that helps!

    Great to hear. I’ll try to keep that in mind for any others that may ask in the future.

    If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

    I will absolutely give it a great review… Already intended to do so, Your plugin is excellent!!! And your support is among the best in the biz!! LUV IT!

    I had my client purchase the extension pro pack, so that it was all in his name, but prior to that I purchased the widget pack to make sure the plugin would work for everything we were looking to achieve. No dough it did that and more! He is very happy with it.

    If you have a chance to see what I wanted to achieve you can go to the test server that I am building the site on at http://viewdesignsample.com/ you’ll see the categories on the homepage and I wanted them split in three col using CSS3.

    It’s being moved to http://www.franchisebizdirectory.com/

    Where of course I gave him a complete new updated site! What a difference this plugin is compared to the directory theme he’s using!

    Here’s what I did in case it will help others looking for something similar:

    Installed the plugin you suggested.

    Added this code to text widget:

    <div class=”three-col”>[widget id=”cnw_categories-3″ title=”0″]</div>

    Added this to the CSS file:

    .three-col {
    -webkit-column-count: 3;
    -moz-column-count: 3;
    column-count: 3;
    -moz-column-gap: 60px;
    -webkit-column-gap: 60px;
    column-gap: 60px;
    }

    And that my friend is how easy customizations are with this plugin! Being a WordPress/Genesis Developer I’m here to tell you this plugin is a developers dream.

    The form plugin came out awesome too! http://viewdesignsample.com/submit-listing/
