   Hello,

   is there a plugin that shows posts of a category?
   Something like Latest posts widget, but instead of taking in account all the posts will take only the specified category.

   Thank you in advance.

   thanks for the link. I'm not sure if i understood correctly though...

   Let's say i create a category called "Featured articles" and i want to show the newest 5 articles in primary widget area, then i will go and change the code in sidebar.php of my theme. The default code is the following
   

   if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'primary-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
   <li id="search" class="widget-container widget_search">
   <?php get_search_form(); ?>
   </li>
   <li id="archives" class="widget-container">
   <h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
   <ul>
   <?php wp_get_archives( 'type=monthly' ); ?></ul></li>
   <li id="meta" class="widget-container">
   <h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
   <ul><?php wp_register(); ?>
   <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
   <?php wp_meta(); ?>
   </ul>
   </li>
   <?php endif;

   How can i change the code in order to get Featured Articles category in that section?

   thank you in advance.
