    I have very 3.3 installed on a project that I did some years back. I took the site and am how working on a local server to see the effects of the upgrade before I go to do it on my clients server. So I upgraded my WordPress version to the newest version 4.51 and the category post to 4.1.7. Now the content from one of my side bars that I created in the new update is broken. I realized that after the update that all of my category posts were deleted. Here’s the kicker for me; I added them back but it doesn’t get the styling from my style sheets. Unable to label the divs like I did the last time. How can I fix this? What files should I edit in order for them to be styled the way they were?

    We had the option ‘Disable the built-in CSS for this widget’ in ‘General’ tab area.
    Don’t know disable or check this option this will use you Theme styles or the widget styles.

    Is this what solve your problem?

    If not, can you leave us a Url?

    This option is disabled. Actually I have tried it with both and nothing. I have my URL linked below. The section that use the category post are the main content in the first section “Belize International Financial Services Association.” Its reading true two pictures and that are along with the list from category post. After the upgrade I got the list to work but the other two look like the second link. I really need to style it but not sure how. I used a plugin widget css classes to name the category posts and those gave them the result in the picture. still need to connect it to my button.

    Can you check this options: ‘Allow link in excerpt’ and ‘Excerpt more text’ (in ‘Post details’ area)?

    This will activate the_content() function which gets you missing CSS classes to your rendered HTML.

    Really, with resent version – only available on GitHub – we supports this feature.

    Are you familair with GitHub? Because you can download the code there (https://github.com/mkrdip/category-posts-widget) and copy it to your plugin folder ([your-wp-installation]/wp-content/plugins/category-posts-widget) to your wordpress installation.
