I made a small update to my Category Posts Widget plugin regarding the problems people were having with displaying excerpts. Thanks to “carnyfeet” who posted the fix in this thread on the WordPress forums.
You can download the update at the official WordPress plugin repository or use the automatic update feature in newer versions of WordPress.
Thanks to everyone who is using the plugin! Over 10,000 downloads since I first released it in October 2007!
Update: Category Posts Widget has been updated to version 3.0!
As promised, I’ve updated Category Posts Widget. Version 1.3 brings one new feature to the table: an option to show a post excerpt. I also converted the widget to the new WordPress 2.5 system of adding multiple widgets so 1.3 will only work on WordPress 2.5 or later. Please donate if you like this plugin! Full list of changes below.
Note: You may have to reconfigure your CPW widgets if you are upgrading from a previous version.
You can download Category Posts Widget 1.3 at the official WordPress plugin repository.
