Sure, WordPress has a widget for displaying your most recent posts, but what if you want to only display the posts from a single category in a widget, and not everything? This plugin Widget lets you set the title, category, and quantity of posts to display, then it kicks out a list of the most recent posts in that category.

Great plugin!
I found a small problem however. Our website has some 20 categories however the widget won’t let us select them all, it only gives a few items in the drop down.
Please contact me by email 🙂

Interesting, I’ve not noticed that problem … pop something into my Support Ticket System and I’ll try to take a look at it. Thanks!
