Category Posts Widget 3.0

Posted on by

This latest update introduces a few new features:

  • Support for WordPress 2.9′s post thumbnails.
  • Option to show the post date.
  • Option to show the comment count.
  • Option to set the word length of the excerpt.

Note that support for Simple Post Thumbnails has been removed in favor of the built in functionality.

You can download the plugin at the WordPress plugin repository: Download here.

Please donate if you find this plugin useful.

Update: Several people have been reporting an error “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()…” I just pushed out version 3.1 which should fix this. This bug could have been fixed if I had done some more rigorous testing. I’ll do better next time.

About thumbnails: Many people have been wondering why the thumbnail options don’t show up. This is because your theme does not support thumbnails! See Mark’s post to enable them.

Update: Category Posts Widget has been updated to version 3.0!

I just released a long overdue update to Category Posts Widget. At the time of this writing, it has been downloaded over 23,500 times and has an average of 4.5 stars from 22 people!

CPW Stats

CPW 2.0 has been included with Press75 themes for sometime now. I haven’t heard any problems with it yet so it should be pretty stable. I updated it to use the new widget API so it is only compatible with WordPress 2.8 and above. It also supports a little plugin I wrote called Simple Post Thumbnails.
