How do I list categories and posts in the sidebar?

    Hi Everyone,

    I’m still very new to WordPress (I have migrated my website from Joomla).

    I am struggling to find a plug-in or setting that dynamically creates a list of post categories (including sub-categories) and also post titles, and then displays the data as a widget in the sidebar.

    For example, on the home page URL, I need to display display the following in the sidebar:

    Categories
    :Joomla:
    :Wordpress:
    :Drupal:

    If the user selects “WordPress”, the widget on the following page would also display the sub-categories contained within under “WordPress”, e.g.:

    Categories
    :Joomla:
    :Wordpress:
    –:Getting Started:
    –:Advanced Techniques:
    –:Quick Tips:
    :Drupal:

    The user might then select the sub-category “Getting Started”, and on the following page the widget would display a list on the post titles in that category:

    Categories
    :Joomla:
    :Wordpress:
    –:Getting Started:
    —-How to install it
    —-How to tweak it
    —-How to upload a theme
    —-Deleting the installation files
    –:Advanced Techniques:
    –:Quick Tips:
    :Drupal:

    I am sure that there must be a plugin that does this, or perhaps even a setting in WordPress, but I cannot find it anywhere. I have been looking for over 2 days.

    Please can anyone help?

    Many thanks.
    Chris
