How best to display posts on page. Tree view/accordion

    I have around 800 posts. Each of which is categorised in a hierarchy and it can go up to 6 levels deep.

    We came from a CMS which used basic html as a front page and we have to make an html accordion and manually input the link names, url etc. This process grew over the years and now we have as I mentioned, 800 links in the accordion.

    I am trying to do something similar with wordpress. I tried knowledge base plugins, but these focus more on pages and don’t really do accordions.

    I want the list to expand and when they click on the final link it will immediately download a linked file (hosted elsewhere). Or if I chose, goes to a page in WP.

    Here is a very basic example of what I am after

    I’ve looked over plugins and I just can’t find any that does it. Yes I could make another html accordion again, but I want WP to help automate it by using the categories and custom columns.

    Any thoughts on how to best proceed?

    Hi triaxial,

    Neither triaxial.wordpress.com or filthyshadow.wordpress.com have as many as 800 posts so it sounds like you are working on a different site.

    If it was created with self hosted WordPress.org site, the WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to ask for advice:

    Please let me know if you have any questions.
