It’s not something I want to introduce into the plugin, but you could certainly edit your copy to work that way. Are you familiar with WP_Query?
Edit your file and change wp_dropdown_categories() on line 92 to a plain text input field where you can enter category IDs separated by commas. (Or, if you want to get fancy, write a loop that prints a checkbox for each category, then edit line 64 — $instance['cat'] = $new_instance['cat']; to implode the resulting array into a comma-separated list.)
And change its name so you don’t get notified about automatic updates, which would overwrite your changes.
Thank you very much for your reply – I really appreciate it! One other thing, if you don’t mind, rather than have the random posts appear in the sidebar, I’d like them to appear in the middle of a specific page, is there an easy way to achieve this? I’m created a new page template in TwentyEleven but I’m really not sure what to write to make the plugin appear… help?
Best,
Brin
Hello,
I also need the sane thing like Brin:
” I’d like them to appear in the middle of a specific page”
There is any possibility to make a short code for this plug ?
