This plugin transforms category identifiers—whether IDs, slugs, or a mix—into a functional list of links pointing to their respective archive pages. It is designed for site administrators and theme developers who need to display curated category navigation without manually coding each link.

• Flexible Input Formats: Accepts category data as a simple string, a list, or an array, making it easy to integrate with other plugins or custom code.
• Widget and Template Tag: Provides both a ready-to-use sidebar widget and a c2c_linkify_categories() template tag for direct placement within theme files.
• Customizable Output: Control the text shown before and after the list, the separator between items, and the message displayed when no categories are specified.
• Developer-Friendly Hook: Includes a dedicated hook (c2c_linkify_categories) that allows safe function invocation, preventing site errors if the plugin is deactivated.
• Secure Output: Actively prevents unsafe markup from being displayed, ensuring the generated links are clean and secure for your site.
