Category Posts Widget 1.3

Posted on by

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.

Changes:

  • New option to display post excerpt below permalink.
  • Display as many posts from a category as you want.
  • Add as many widgets as you want.
  • WordPress 2.5 or later compatible only.

Note: You may have to reconfigure your CPW widgets if you are upgrading from a previous version.

Download

You can download Category Posts Widget 1.3 at the official WordPress plugin repository.

Donate

This plugin was created by me and is made available free of charge. However, if you would like to show your appreciation, you can donate via PayPal by clicking the donate button in the sidebar. All funds go towards paying for my college expenses.

On the Status of Category Posts Widget

I’ve been getting a few comments everyday about Category Posts Widget lately with suggestions and whatnot. I can assure you that I read them all and I will try to integrate all the features people have asked for. One person has already sent me his modifications which I plan to integrate into the next version.

The next version should be coming soon now that final exams are done. I also plan to release a new version of WP Tag Manager, which someone has kindly offered to localize for Russian. I’m glad so many people like my work, just be patient!
