Not sure about it relates to the plugin, but you could put this in your sidebar template, or consider downloading and installing Otto’s PHP Code Widget and using the code in one of those widgets:
<?php
//display all posts for category 5
$args=array(
'cat' => 5,
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
echo 'List of Posts';
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
<?php
endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your answer.
I’m using the default wp calendar widget. This is the code from default-widgets.php:
/**
* Calendar widget class
*
* @since 2.8.0
*/
class WP_Widget_Calendar extends WP_Widget {
function WP_Widget_Calendar() {
$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'widget_calendar', 'description' => __( 'A calendar of your blog’s posts') );
$this->WP_Widget('calendar', __('Calendar'), $widget_ops);
}
function widget( $args, $instance ) {
extract($args);
$title = apply_filters('widget_title', empty($instance['title']) ? ' ' : $instance['title']);
echo $before_widget;
if ( $title )
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
echo '<div id="calendar_wrap">';
get_calendar();
echo '</div>';
echo $after_widget;
}
function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);
return $instance;
}
function form( $instance ) {
$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, array( 'title' => '' ) );
$title = strip_tags($instance['title']);
?>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>"><?php _e('Title:'); ?></label>
<input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr($title); ?>" /></p>
What should I change in there so it displays only posts from category X?
Thank you.
Goran
Have you looked at a plugin instead? Here’s one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/calendar/

Hi Michael,
Thank you once again for your help. I know that plugin however it doesn’t suit my needs. It doesn’t support non-latin characters (which I have to use in my website) so unfortunately it’s a no on this one. I’d much rather use the default calendar widget and make it display posts only from a specific gallery.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance.

hey guys, is any one found the solution to display the default calendar widget only for a specific category posts?
I’d be interested in this answer too. I just want to use one category to display in the default calendar option.
Another vote for very interested in the answer.
if you want an events calendar, I came across this post……http://www.davidrisley.com/2010/04/23/events-list-with-wordpress/
Read the description, its exactly what I need, however I have no idea where to put the script that has been created? If it makes sense to anyone else please let me know!!!!!
