    I have decided to change the interface on the next release. The feeds subscription and the read more will have html enabled text box. So, you can put some image code there. I hope it will help. Possible release date is within 2 days

    Thats going to be cool

    Any news on this? The plugin hasn’t been updated for almost six months; I’d definitely feel more comfortable using it if there was a 3.1 compatible update – not that the current release seems to be in any way incompatible.

    I had the same need, and I found a way to get the link for the title, even if its not very “nice” … I wish the plugin author could include this in its next version but I guess he has other things to do by now ??

    First, go to plugins/wp-category-post-list/wp-category-post-list.php and delete “strip_tags” when code is sanitized line 323 :
    “$instance['title']= strip_tags($title);”
    So you’ve got now only :
    $instance['title']= ($title);
    Go to your widget and type in the first field of the Category Title the link like :
    <a href=https://path/to/your/cat>%cat_name%</a>

    The link is not dynamic, but it works perfectly, while waiting for a better solution.
    Oh, BTW, if someone had a tip to make the Thumbnail appears, I would be verry happy, because it doesn’t seem to work with WordPress 3.1.1 (yes I clicked the checkbox in the Widget panel)…

    Cool this worked … Cheers
    It also helped me add a link image which will take to the specific category , because it is changing the color of the text link when linked . Font html code doesnt work here , maybe style would help .

    About thumnails what i can say is
    Try featured image , it works
    Though post images dont work with it

    Hi everyone,
    Actually there is a development version on the trac. I cant get enough time to test it and release it publicly… I will try my best though… Currently m undergoing much pressure related to semester exams + clients + life etc…
