Plugin Version 1.4 | WordPress Version 3.4.2

[mycatlist cat_length=’20’ post_length=’20’ excerpt_length=’70’ title_only=’no’ thumbnail=’yes’ read_more=’Read More…’ new_window=’no’ posts=’1′ order_by=’name’ exclude_cat=’summit-square,sunnyside’ include_cat=’kings-grant-2′ child_cats=’no’ columns=’1′ limit=’1′ order_by_type=’asc’]

I have 3 categories and 3 separate corresponding pages:

1 – summit-square
2 – sunnyside
3 – kings-grant-2

The sample above, for example, is supposed to show “kings-grant-2” posts and exclude “summit-square” and “sunnyside” but it only displays “sunnyside” posts. This is true for the 3 categories, all three shortcodes created specifically with parameters for each page still pull “sunnyside” category only.

Thank you very much for your help!

I had to hack all this code into the sidebar.php because the widgets were not being displayed properly in all pages with sidebars. Now, the sidebar shows great in all the pages but the the form still doesn’t. So to answer your question, I can’t do that. What else can I try?

Mike, thank you so much for responding quickly. I tried both options and it just doesn’t work, the form does not show on the sidebar. This php code is surrounded by other php and html code so I decided to paste the entire content of the file for you to see if there’s anything around it that might be breaking it. Thanks a lot once again.

Hey i3v, thanks for the response. I’ve been looking for an answer for very long now. If I knew PHP in depth I’d probably be able to make it work. I found a similar solution to the one you suggested but the problem is that I don’t have a page where the user lands after submitting a form nor do I have change in the URL to make it trackable. It all happens in the same page.

But thanks again.

Will changing the name of the theme in style.css also change the name of the theme in all other .php files?

I’m asking that because for example: If you change the name of an image on a server but you don’t update the links that point to that image, they will still look for the old image file name.

In this case I need to change the links.

Got it?

I understand, and I thought of that but this is for a client, and I don’t want the client to know the theme’s name. That’s why I actually need to change the folder’s name.

I appreciate your help!
