I can get either one to appear, OR I can get BLOG to show up on one page and NEWS on another...but I can't get both BLOG and NEWS to appear on the same page.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/314728#post-1224425 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:57:40 +0000 Aradon 1224425@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I had trying to figure out how to modify the plugin not to show posts in child categorys.

I would use it extensively. But there is a problem.</p> <p>whenever i place the category widget on side menu and choose a category, ALL names of my pages and posts are replaced with the name of chosen category. looks very weird, but that is true.

This would likely be a JavaScript problem.<br /> As a stopgap until the author fixes it, here is what works:<br /> 1. Add the widget and save before you try to move it. If you move it without saving, it disappears.<br /> 2. You cannot highlight any information in the boxes inside the widgit. However, if you just put the cursor at the start, you can delete and add information.<br /> I left this 'unresolved' so that the author would read it - it's ok for the author to mark it 'resolved' once they have read this.</p> <p>Thanks, a very useful widget for a site I'm working on.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/258301#post-1073960 Thu, 14 May 2009 11:21:51 +0000 real_sanchez 1073960@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello bluebird2,<br /> Open the cat-posts.php in the plugin directory.<br /> search following code line: (line 40)<br /> <pre><code>// Get array of post info. $cat_posts = get_posts(&#39;numberposts=&#39;.$num.&#39;&amp;amp;category=&#39;.$cat_id);</code></pre> <p>insert after codeline 40 following code: <code>if(function_exists(&#39;qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage&#39;)) $cat_posts = qtrans_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($cat_posts);</code></p> <p>greetz<br /> real_sanchez </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/258301#post-1033464 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:42:34 +0000 bluebird2 1033464@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Category Posts is a great widget but does not Support Bilingual Sites.

I have modified the plugin to support stickies:</p> <p>replace cat-posts.php, line 40 with this:<br /> <pre><code>$cat_sticky = get_posts(array(&#39;post__in&#39;=&gt;get_option(&#39;sticky_posts&#39;),&#39;category&#39;=&gt;$cat_id)); if($cat_sticky[0]){ $num -= count($cat_sticky); } $cat_nonSticky = get_posts(array(&#39;post__not_in&#39;=&gt;get_option(&#39;sticky_posts&#39;),&#39;category&#39;=&gt;$cat_id,&#39;numberposts&#39;=&gt;$num)); $cat_posts = array_merge($cat_sticky,$cat_nonSticky);</code></pre> <p>This way, all the stickies from the category will be read first, then all the 'non-stickies' </p> <p>Hope it works for you </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/176604#post-901353 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:08:00 +0000 ZephyrWest 901353@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Sorry for the problems guys.

They seem to be mainly from entries using the Category Post Plugin and Simply Exclude, which I use to prevent sidebar posts from appearing on the front page.
