Is it possible to use the Recent Posts Widget to create new menu items on the sidebar for each different post category? For example I might use the Posts Widget to list only Category A items on the sidebar and then use another one to create a menu item with only Category B posts under it.
Thank you.

I did download the plugin. When I fill in the category excluded, it does not do that. Am I just supposed to fill in the Category Name that I want excluded? This thing should be able to do what I want it to do which is to break up the post categories on the menu items. Just that it is not working the way it is supposed to. I am using 2.8.4 and it is compatible to 2.8.3 only. Could that be the problem?
Thanks. -
Posted 2 years ago #This question should be directed to the plugin author http://enhanced-recent-posts.vincentprat.info/ I have not personally used this plugin.

No that isn't the problem, 2.8.4 only updated a very tiny piece of the login process because of a security vulnerability.

Thank you. I will look into this further. Nice plugin. Thanks for the tip.

Maybe WordPress should update their Post Widget too to be more flexible.

Does the Regular Posts Widget need to be deactivated while using any other type of similar plugin?
Thank you. -
Thanks yakuphan. I think I was using category name and it did not work. Does the category ID go in the box of categories you want shown? If so where do I find the ID? Or will the name work too?
Thank you.
