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.

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.
