   How can I edit the code of the "Most Voted Posts" widget to only show posts from a particular category?

   I'd like to know this as well.

   Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it works, but you could try something similar to below (changes in bold)

   <?php
   //Displays the widget
   function MostVotedAllTime_Widget() {
   $a = SortVotes();
   //Before

   ?>
   <div class="votewidget">
   <div class="title">Most Voted</div>
   <?php
   $rows = 0;

   //Now does not include deleted posts
   $i = 0;
   while ($rows < get_option('voteiu_widgetcount')) {
   if(is_category('Category ID or Slug or Name')) {
   if ($a[0][$i][0] != '') {
   $postdat = get_post($a[0][$i][0]);
   if (!empty($postdat)) {
   $rows++;

   if (round($rows / 2) == ($rows / 2)) {
   echo '<div class="fore">';
   } else {
   echo '<div class="back">';
   }
   echo '<div class="votecount">'.$a[1][$i][0].' '.Pluralize($a[1][$i][0], 'votes', 'vote').' </div><div>guid.'" title="'.$postdat->post_title.'">'.$postdat->post_title.'</div>';
   echo '</div>';
   }
   }
   if ($i < count($a[0])) {
   $i++;
   } else {
   break; //exit the loop
   }
   }
   }

   //End
   ?>

   Note that you'll want to replace is_category('Category ID or Slug or Name') with the ID, Slug, or Name you want to use.
