Title: Widget Category Posts Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Widget Category Posts * [femetal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/femetal/) * (@femetal) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-category-posts/) * Hi, * I have WP 3.7.1 with the premium template WP-ClearVideo by Solostream. * I also have installed Ceceppa (last version). * The template came eith some widget, one of them is category posts page, which create a widget with the last X posts/pages of a determinate category. * I post the code of that widget: * ``` /*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ // This starts the Category Posts widget. /*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ add_action( 'widgets_init', 'catposts_load_widgets' ); function catposts_load_widgets() { register_widget( 'Catposts_Widget' ); } class Catposts_Widget extends WP_Widget { function Catposts_Widget() { /* Widget settings. */ $widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'catposts', 'description' => __('Adds posts from a specific category .', "solostream") ); /* Widget control settings. */ $control_ops = array( 'width' => 300, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'catposts-widget' ); /* Create the widget. */ $this->WP_Widget( 'catposts-widget', __('Category Posts Widget', "solostream"), $widget_ops, $control_ops ); } function widget( $args, $instance ) { global $post; $post_old = $post; // Save the post object. extract( $args ); // If no title, use the name of the category. if( !$instance["title"] ) { $category_info = get_category($instance["cat"]); $instance["title"] = $category_info->name; } // Get array of post info. $cat_posts = new WP_Query("showposts=" . $instance["num"] . "&cat=" . $instance["cat"] . "&post_type=any"); /* Before widget (defined by themes). */ echo $before_widget; // Widget title echo $before_title; if( $instance["title_link"] ) echo '' . $instance["title"] . ''; else echo $instance["title"]; echo $after_title; // Post list echo "
\n"; while ( $cat_posts->have_posts() ) { $cat_posts->the_post(); ?>
" title=" ">

" title=" ">

\n"; echo $after_widget; remove_filter('excerpt_length', $new_excerpt_length); $post = $post_old; // Restore the post object. } ``` * if you see, this row: * ``` // Get array of post info. $cat_posts = new WP_Query("showposts=" . $instance["num"] . "&cat=" . $instance["cat"] . "&post_type=any"); ``` * filters what posts/pages will be shown. * The problem is: when I show this widget, it will show me always the last X posts/ pages of that category, it does not care about language. * What I can add in that WP_Query code to filter also by language? * Can you help me? * i try to write: * ``` // Get array of post info. $cat_posts = new WP_Query("showposts=" . $instance["num"] . "&cat=" . $instance["cat"] . "&post_type=any&lang=it"); ``` * but it doesn’t work. It always show me the last x post/pages in cronological order. * Can you help me? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Author [Alessandro Senese aka Ceceppa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceceppa/) * (@ceceppa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-category-posts/#post-4462859) * Hi, try this: * // Get array of post info. global $wpCeceppaML; $cat_posts = new WP_Query(“showposts =” . $instance[“num”] . “&cat=” . $instance[“cat”] . “&post_type=any&post__in =” . $wpCeceppaML->$wpCeceppaML->get_posts_by_language( 1 ) ); * In the example 1 is the id of “Italian” language. * You could also use the function “cml_get_posts_by_language”, but it has a bug, I’ll fix it in 1.3.46 * Regards * Thread Starter [femetal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/femetal/) * (@femetal) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-category-posts/#post-4462892) * Hi Alessandro, * I try it, but it doesn’t work. * the output is a blank widget. * Do you have any other ideas? * How can I use “cml_get_posts_by_language”? * I’ have already 1.3.46 version. * Grazie * Ciao * Plugin Author [Alessandro Senese aka Ceceppa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceceppa/) * (@ceceppa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-category-posts/#post-4462893) * Sorry, I wanted to say 1.3.47… Can you contact me here: [http://alessandrosenese.eu/contatti](http://alessandrosenese.eu/contatti)? * I’ll send you version 1.3.47… * The usage of cml_get_posts_by_language is: * //id of desired language… cml_get_posts_by_language( $id ); Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Widget Category Posts’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/ceceppa-multilingua_4faedb.svg) * [Ceceppa Multilingua](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ceceppa-multilingua/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ceceppa-multilingua/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ceceppa-multilingua/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ceceppa-multilingua/reviews/) ## Tags * [category](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/category/) * [ceceppa](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/ceceppa/) * [post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/post/) * [widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/widget/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Alessandro Senese aka Ceceppa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ceceppa/) * Last activity: [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widget-category-posts/#post-4462893) * Status: not resolved
