    Category is entered as an ID number, not as the slug or name.

    Suggestion for change on the Query Posts Widget “mega form”

    from:
    category

    to:
    category (enter ID#)

    How to find ID #

    A quick way of finding what ID # your category has is to go to
    >wp-admin
    >Posts >Categories
    (Hover over the category and see what the link is in the (status bar)*. Inside of this link is an ID)
    here is an example when hovering over a category.
    https://website.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=9&post_type=post

    In this case category is “9” for Query Posts, not the friendly name that you have given it.

    *enable status bar in Firefox 3.0+
    >View (check on)Status Bar
