   Hello i have a custom widget and i have placed my own code in it to display articles from a specific category but it doesn't work.

   Here is my code

   <div class="latestNews">
   
   <?php query_posts('cat=529&showposts=2'); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     <div class="postContent" > 
   
   <h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   <?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   </div>

   Any help will be appreciated.

   Regards

   Nicos

   Are you using a default text widget? If so, PHP cannot be used in a text widget. Review how to use PHP in a custom widget area here:
