How to set up and style the Taxonomy List widget in Elementor.
Taxonomy List shows categories, tags, product categories or any other public taxonomy as a list, a grid of cards or a cloud of buttons. Each entry links to its archive page and can show a count, a description, an image or an icon. Use it in sidebars, on blog and shop pages, or under a post to show its topics.
