 * I’ve got the most recent version of your Plugin, the ‘Archive’ widget reads:
 * ‘An advanced widget that gives you total control over the output of your archives.’
 * BUT it hasnt got an option on there to exclude archives by category. I’ve recently
   created an employee category and we don’t want the recent posts list populated
   by all of the new employees.
 * Would you consider adding an ‘exclude from category’ option in you ‘Archive’ 
   functionality?

 * I have a similar problem — I want to display one category of the archives, but
   can’t. I tried using Widget Logic and the “in_category()” parameter, but it didn’t
   like that.
 * Does anyone have a work-a-round?

 * Maybe you could try using CSS to hide what you don’t want to show? I don’t fully
   understand what it is you’re trying to do so it may not work.
 * E.g.
 *     ```
       .widget ul.categories li
       {
       display:none;
       }
   
       .widget ul.categories li.cat-item-4
       {
       display:block;
       }
       ```
   
 * Best of luck.

 * I would also like some acknowledgement of this possibly being added in?

 * This will have to change in WordPress core for it to change in the plugin. The
   widget is a wrapper for the `wp_get_archives()` function, which does not currently
   allow you to specify the category.
