Sure, WordPress has a widget for displaying your most recent posts, but what if you want to only display the posts from a single category in a widget, and not everything? This plugin Widget lets you set the title, category, and quantity of posts to display, then it kicks out a list of the most recent posts in that category.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the file widget_cat_posts.php<\/code> to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Position the widget in the desired sidebar through the widgets<\/code> admin page<\/li>\n
  4. Set the category and number of posts to display<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    WordPress doesn't let you do this? Really?<\/dt>\n

    Nope. Really.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
