Solved!

For anyone who wants to know, this is what I did:

In the header template file, in the head tag, put this:

<style type="text/css">
li.postlink-<?php echo $post->ID; ?> a {
font-weight: strong /*whatever you want*/ }
</style>

then on my sidebar.php where i call the links in one category I have this:

<ul>
<?php
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&category=4');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
<li class="postlink-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

Hooray!

I don’t know either way – I’m hoping it does. Basically, I need the plugin but the address at where it was offered is no longer up. Is there a new location or does someone have the plugin they could send to me?

still don’t know why this is happening…

I realize there is a standard wp function that lists categories. I am using a plugin for another purpose. To make things easier I’ll just use the wp_list_cats from now on and to verify that it has nothing to do with the plugin I’m using.

From the start:

This is the code in my sidebar:
<?php $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories"); foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) { ?>
<h2>Categories</h2>
<ul><?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1'); ?></ul>
<?php } ?>

This is the output code:
<h2>Categories</h2><ul></ul><ul><li><a href="#" title="Cat 1">Cat 1 (28)</a></li><li><a href="#" title="Cat 2">Cat 2 (6)</a></li></ul>


I’ve tried it with and without the plugin and even without out the same thing happens. (i went as far as disabling the plugin to double check)
