Simple double listed columns

DISCLAIMER: this post is older than one year and may not be up to date with the latest WordPress version.

The standard wp_list_categories() function echoes a list of all your categories. Let’s see how we can quickly force the display of categories on two columns.

Simply paste the following piece of code where you’d like your categories to be displayed:

<?php
$cats = explode("<br />",wp_list_categories('title_li=&echo=0&depth=1&style=none'));
$cat_n = count($cats) - 1;
for ($i=0;$i<$cat_n;$i++):
if ($i<$cat_n/2):
$cat_left = $cat_left.'<li>'.$cats[$i].'</li>';
elseif ($i>=$cat_n/2):
$cat_right = $cat_right.'<li>'.$cats[$i].'</li>';
endif;
endfor;
?>
<ul class="left">
<?php echo $cat_left;?>
</ul>
<ul class="right">
<?php echo $cat_right;?>
</ul>

Then, just save the file, and enjoy!
