   Using just the title as the heading for me is displaying a title without a link, yet the html shows an empty link where the subheading would go if I were to use it.

   Nevermind that, I had selected “Group items with the same heading under one main entry”

   Hi Nick, glad you sorted yourself out. You actually hit on something which might be a cause of confusion to users. I will have to think about what the plugin should do under those circumstances to minimize any possible misunderstanding.

   How come on some listings the “Title” comes before the “Author” such as for “FatherlandHarris, Robert” and there is no space between the custom fields? Is there a way to adjust it so that all the listings show up like the JK Rowling entry — with the Titles listed below?

   The paging works wrong with “WP Page Numbers” plugin

   But it looks fine, I’ll keep on trying

   Hi Barbara. I have looked into the problem with some of the titles and subtitles appearing on the same line, and it looks like a problem with CSS incompatibility. Opera and Safari have the problem. IE6, IE7, and Mozilla do not, so the Opera and Safari browsers are doing something a little different with the CSS. I will look to see if I can tweak the default CSS so that it works correctly on all browsers.

   Jbrinx, I just looked at the WP Page Numbers plugin and it looks very nice, but the way AZindex is designed, I don’t think there is an easy way for them to co-exist on the same blog page — i.e. to use the Page Numbers plugin to provide the paging done by AZIndex.

   With AZindex, you are only using one page. When you use the AZindex page controls, you are simply moving through the index on the same page — you’re not switching blog pages which is where the WP Page Numbers plugin comes in.

   What I suggest you can do if you want to prevent WP Page Numbers paging controls and AZindex paging controls from appearing on the same page is to use a different page template for you index page that does not include the PHP code which displays the WP Page Numbers controls.

   That will obviously not solve the problem with the two sets of page controls looking different. I have added CSS styles for all the different components of the page controls, so you do have quite a bit of control over the appearance of the AZIndex page controls. With some tweaking on both sides, you might be able to get both page controls looking quite similar. (Note, I do have some work to do documenting the CSS styles I added. However, if you look at the source of HTML an AZIndex page you should be able to figure most of it out from that).

   If you have more specific issues with the two plugins coexisting on the same blog that I haven’t covered here, please let me know more information about them.

    any luck on updating the default CSS to have the title and subtitle appear on different lines with safari/opera/chrome browsers?

    A wonderful plugin, it works great! (The 2.7 code adjustment posted at the WP repository was a big help, tyvm)

    I’m new to wordpress and am having some difficulty with the custom fields. I’d like the index to display:

    Index Heading = Category
    Index Sub-Heading = Sub-Category

    What would the text input be for the custom fields using this configuration?

    Thank You
