Widget show posts from category

[MattieM]

Hi,

I want to add a widget to my website that shows the title of the posts from one specific category.
Is this possible?
I already tried:

• the ‘category’ widget but that only shows a dropdown (or the categories)
• The recent posts (filter on category) shortcode http://demo.theme.co/integrity-1/shortcodes/recent-posts/

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

You can use following short-code in a text width get.

[recent_posts count="4" no_image="true" orientation="vertical" category="categoryname"]

Add your category name over there.
You may need little custom CSS code to make it look right.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Is it correct that this doesnt work in a “Custom HTML” Widget?

Hi There,

Thanks again for asking!
Yes, it works in a Custom HTML widget. It should look like this.

You may need extra CSS to change the appearance.

Thanks
