   I was so excited to find this plugin, but it appears to be broken under WordPress 3.0.1. If you put in a specific page or post ID, it does not display that particular page or post. :(

   I confirm having the same issue...

   It respects the post_type, order and orderby parameters but not the ID - it just shows the fisrt post according to other parameters.

   OK I'm glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue. I guess we will have to wait for Justin to release a fix.

   I can confirm this behaviour: neither Category ID nor a comma-separated list of post-IDs is taken up.
   All other parameters work.

   It's definitely a bug. Hopefully Justin fixes it in the next version! :)

   Custom taxonomies also don't get picked up. I mean - they appear as input fields but entering an ID doesn't make it print posts from the specific taxonomy.

   In fact anything other than category is not working. Anybody know a way how to at least debug this thing?

   I can't get Category to work either.. just shows all posts. :( Tags and pages seem to work but really wanted to use Categories rather than tags.

   Same problem, here's the fix. It's missing the argument for a single post in the widget-query-posts.php file. Open that up and add in the following at line 123, right before you see:
   /* Begin display of widget

   /*NCG edit */
   if( $instance['post'])
   $args['p'] = $instance['post'];

   Problem solved. Thanks for Justin for a ridiculously useful plugin. Just discovered it a couple of weeks ago and it makes me want to cry how many custom bits of code I set up on templates that I could have accomplished with widgets using this plugin. It's flat out amazing!
