Recent Posts by Category Widget

Description

This plugin adds a simple widget that allows you to display a number of recent blog posts from a specific category. You have the options to choose a title, category, number of posts and whether or not to show the post date. The posts will be ordered by date just like the default Recent Posts widget included with WordPress.

Works fine, very helpful. Thanks

Multiple categories for the next update ?

This plugin would be perfect if we could select multiple categories. Maybe for the next update? It preserves the default styles css of the original theme, that’s great !! Thank you very much Ross !!!!
