Thanks again for your help – I did solve it – but in a complicated round about way but I will bookmark this page as I’m sure your answer will help me in the future.

Thanks again

Hi Frizax:

Thanks again for your help, that is what my select box is – it is still developing but the link is:

https://goo.gl/iUh9G (shortened as I don’t what SE to index the full URL in the post)

Anyway, I think I found the problem, Chrome! It works in Firefox but the onclick doesn’t in Chrome.

eg:

Any idea on how to solve the issue?

Thanks again
Ernie

Hi frizax:

My hero! Thank you for that, it works and displays exactly as I wanted except..

In the dropdown list when I select a post it doesn’t go to that post?

So the dropdown drops down, I select an item – that item is selected but the page stays the same – no jump to the post.

I am crap at php so it’s probably me not following your admittedly simply instructions.

In the code – I went to the themes functions.php file and at the end after the closing ?> I add your code – I guess that must have been correct as I got the new widget showing up.

Any ideas as to why it doesn’t jump?

Thanks again, you’re still my hero!

Hi Media X

I saw AVH Extended Categories and am going to try it but it seems to be for category listings rather than posts in a category.

It’s for a client who had it on their old html site and wants it on their WP one.

Hi!

I wanted to show it in a sidebar as a widget preferably.

I want to be able to set the category manually so if it’s category 12 now it always will be.

I may go on one of those marketplaces and see if I can get a fairly cheap quote to get it coded, especially with the old ones it should be easy for someone who knows what they’re doing.

Unless I’m reading the securityfocus bulletin incorrectly, it says the author was notified on Jan 30, 2013 and fixed it in v2.0.4.6 – a day later.

Hi
Thanks for the link, I checked under Settings > General and both URL’s only list as https://

I also looked in the htaccess file this is what it contains:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
