   Just what I've been looking for - thank you! Just installed it, seems to work like a charm.

   Hi there.
   Just having a small problem with the widget.
   I have created multiple posts that are linked to a category each.
   Simple Sidebar Navigation will only see 5 of them at a time.
   If I add a new one, it removes an old one, keeping a total of 5.
   It can however see all 4 pages that have been created.
   Any ideas anyone?

   Hey spottydog,

   I'd like to help, but I don't follow your explanation. Can you be more specific what exactly you're trying to do? BTW, the widget doesn't have ability to add categories and automatically populate them with links to their posts. It only adds static links of your selection at the time of editing.

   Hi Max.
   I'll try to explain it a bit better, please bear with me.
   I have created a number of posts and assigned a different category to each post. There are 9 in total at the moment, and I have also created 4 pages.
   The Simple Sidebar Navigation widget shows only 5 of these 9 posts and all 4 pages.
   If I re-create one of the posts and assign a category, it will recognize it, but it removes one of the old ones.
   I can send you a screen capture of the various screens if that will help.

   Regards
   Iain Kennedy

   Iain, I figured out the problem. By default the function get_posts() fetches 5 posts only. By adding argument get_posts('numberposts=-1') it fetches all published posts. So, you can run search and replace through the plugin file (there are only 3 places where this function is used), or you can wait until I release an update. Some people reporting another error and I'll see if I can fix that and release it all together.

   Hi Max.
   That fixed it.
   Thanks very much for looking into that for me.

   Hi Max.
   FYI, the auto update that just came in changed the "get_posts('numberposts=-1')" back to "get_posts()".
   Just letting you know because I thought the next update was going to include get_posts('numberposts=-1') instead.

    Oops. That's what happens when you're trying to fix things at work during lunch time, while mostly doing everything from home :) Thanks for catching!

    No problem Max.
    Another question for you.
    Would it be possible to have the capacity to have 2 (or more even) Simple Sidebar Navigation widgets used at the same time?
    ie. add the widget more than once, the same as you can do with the "Text" widget.
    I would like the ability to split up the navigation into multiple sections. eg:

    Navigation1
    Page 1
    Page 2
    Page 3

    Navigation2
    Page 4
    Page 5
    Page 6

    Navigation3
    Page 7
    Page 8
    Page 9

    Regards
    Iain

    Iain, you can add as many widgets as you wish to your sidebars. Scroll to the bottom of the page to create desired number of widgets.

    Can you try downloading the 2.0.8 from my site

    Same thing happens.

    I hate when this happens and I can't reproduce the error.

    Does the error appear in the backend, or front end of the site? I only was able to get a similar error on the front end if I added a blank widget. So, I added a condition to output nothing if there was no links. You can download the file again (I left the same version, but it's updated).

    If you want, you can email me directly at editor@ibsteam.net - if there is a chance I could access your site, I probably could do a better job figuring things out.
