A simple, themeable widget which displays posts in the category, order, and quantity of your choosing.
This widget displays posts in the category, order, and quantity of your choosing. It supports custom templates!
After installation, drag-and-drop the new “Category Widget” to a widget area, choose the categories you wish to display, and tell it the order and quantity in which you wish to display them.
The default template is just plain-ol’ HTML5, without any CSS; it’s meant to fit right into any theme without modification.
However, if you’re a theme developer and you wish to use custom markup or WP functions inside your template, here’s how to customize it:
catswidget.php
(or copy template.php
from posts-by-cat-widget/views
to your theme’s root, and rename it catswidget.php
, if you’d rather use the default as a starting point).$posts
variable, like this:if ( $posts -> have_posts() ) :
while ( $posts -> have_posts() ) :
$posts -> the_post(); ?>
// Your markup here
endwhile;
endif;
posts-by-cat-widget
to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory
