Displaying posts from a selected Category

    I wanted to know if there is way that could do a ‘Featured’ category page? It is a page where I can show posts I have made that I feel is important for readers.

    If I published a post and assign it with a category of ‘Feature’ and then create a Page called ‘Feature’ in my sidebar, is there a plugin that could display the assigned posts automatically? So I don’t have to manually create a page using HTML/basic formatting.

    Or for better clarification, selecting “Feature” from my sidebar which in terms gets all posts with an assigned category name of ‘Features’ and show them on the “Feature” page.

    Thanks alot. Everyting is good however, as I have inserted the php script, my whole left sidebar does not disappear. Am I missing a step?

    <?php show_featured_posts( [max_posts], [offset], [before], [after] ); ?>

    That is the script that is used and can be inserted anywhere to show the list.

    Are you saying you left these as posted here?
    [max_posts], [offset], [before], [after]
    You should replace those with the proper parameters.

    If you don’t know how to use the parameters, let the default ones work for you and use this:
    <?php show_featured_posts(); ?>
