I just committed the latest version.
This fix includes issue with category listing and deprecated WP_Widget constructor.

Hi,

Default post order is by date!
You may order them by title (that is the most similar to slug) if you want that kind of order.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment.
Yes you can, and you should do that if you want to rewrite default style.

I explained this few times before. Also, you have that info in FAQ. ??

Hi,

Plugin has its own CSS file where is defined basic style.
Also, in your CSS file there may be some property that is applied on plugin output too.

You should overwrite it by creating your own style for this widget as you want to be.

Hi,

You should set an image as featured image if you want to show it in widget.

Hi,

I can not know structure for each template an user can have.
I gave example for WordPress twentyten default theme.

In your case, you should open category.php file and try to exam how it works. If you do that, you will see that there is called function twentyeleven_content_nav() above and below WP Query, so you should delete that and instead of that paste code I gave as instruction.

When you do this, you should perform the same action for each template (index.php, archive.php, …).

Hi,

Only reason why the same posts are shown, may be because you have a low number of posts. ??
If that is not true, I can not understand why that is happening.

Each instance of plugin will perform WP Query with data you set for that widget.

You can change plugin but it will be global again so it will be applied on all widgets instance.

This feature is now available on new version (1.0.3)
Please update your plugin.

If you want to change default style, you can do it by editing current CSS file, or create your own rules to override default style which I suggest as better solution.

The original idea was to show posts from one category.
This option to select all categories sounds good to me, but option to select few categories is not.

I do not know why image is not displayed as you defined.
In my case, I also have thumb size 150×150, and when I set it in widget to be 60×60, this image 150×150 is used, but its width and height is set to 60px as in widget.

Can you send me URL of your website so I can try to exam it?
You can email me on igor[at]vuckovic[dot]biz too.

Hi,

1. Images are displayed with WordPress function the_post_thumbnail() and image size is based on your Media Settings under WordPress Settings.
Also, if you are creating custom thumbnail in your theme with WordPress function add_image_size() that dimension will be useful too.
For example, if you set image width and height in your widget instance to some value that is not proportional to your custom images size, that dimension will not be output properly (as in your case).

2. I will create new version of plugin which will have this option to select all categories.

Plugin has default CSS which has defined space between posts.
Maybe your theme has some style for classes that widget outputs too.
However, you can modify this CSS of create your own to prevent issue with updates in the future.

Pilot version of this plugin had layout as on screenshot, but current version has different layout. That means that heading is on the top of each post and below are thumbnail image and post excerpt.
On this URL is still active pilot version:

On this URL you can see how plugin looks like with default CSS with few changes on theme’s CSS:

Thanks for your comment.
I agree with you, so I added two WordPress functions to reset all data.
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata();
These changes will be available from version 1.0.2
