Category posts list widget?

  • heya. i’m wondering if there’s an easy way (i.e. widget) to generate a list of posts in only a specific category in the sidebar. for example if i had a “News” category and i want to list the last 5 posts from the category.

    i did a bit of searching but wasn’t able to find an easy way to execute this.

    thanks!

  • Maybe the Sideblog plugin will solve your problem. The author says:
    “Sideblog v3 differs from previous version in that it is Sidebar Widgets enabled”.

    The plugin allows you to select one or more categories to be presented in the sidebar ( Lika asides ).

    You can use: Category Post Plugin by Brian Groce.

    This plugin allows you to stipulate which category you wish to draw posts from.

    ie:

    <?php wp_cat_posts(2); ?> will display random posts from Category 2 in the sidebar.
