   Hi,

   This may not be possible but I figured it's worth asking.
   I only have the sidebar enabled when looking at single articles. Is it possible to modify the "Category Posts Widget" to display articles of the current category only?

   Thanks!

   link to your site?

   hack to 'category posts widget' plugin; to show posts of the categories of the single post.

   restricted so widget will only show on single post pages.

   new top option 'use post categories' in dropdown; other functionality (hopefully) left intact.

   cat-posts.php:

   (no guarantee for function; not widely tested; tested only with post titles, locally xampp wp3.1.1)

   the code is for a particular 'Category Posts Widget' plugin, to replace the main plugin file, and not intended to be inserted into widget.php -
   check, if you have this plugin already activated (?)

   in the plugin folder, replace the content of the file cat-posts.php with the content of the pastebin http://pastebin.com/PEJ1bwTy

   as is said before, the error message 'Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CategoryPosts' seems to indicate that you possibly use this plugin already;
   in which case go to dashboard -> plugins -> editor; then select the plugin from the list 'Select Pugin to Edit'; and replace the code with the code from the pastebin http://pastebin.com/PEJ1bwTy
