   How do I list the top 5 most popular posts in category X? A link to a page explaining it is fine.

   Thank you.

   You will need a plugin. Consider using WP-Stats in conjunction with WP Popular Posts.

   You can do it without a plugin if you want. Just some code based on the following to the template where you want the list appearing...

   <?php query_posts('category_name=work&showposts=5'); ?>
   <ul>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>

   that will show the first 5 posts from a category called 'work'. Not exactly what you asked for in your question, but it's definitely how to just 'List Posts in Category X' :)

   I did that 2 days ago. You can see it in http://www.europasobreruedas.com/cronicas, at the end the sidebar "IMPORTACIONES AUDI", "IMPORTACIONES BMW", etc. I added the code wrotten by monkey at the end the sidebar.php. By

   Almost exactly what I am looking for... however I am trying to create a navigation where it displays a list of categories with a sub-list of all posts within each category and loops this.

   Something like this:

   <li>
       <a href="category_url">CATEGORY</a>
   
   <ul>
   <li><a href="post_url">POST</a></li>
   </ul>
   </li>

   Of course I would want it to loop until it has listed all categories and all posts within these categories.

   Help is greatly appreciated.
