List category posts Wordpress Plugin (English)
Wordpress 2.7 compatible
Description
List Category Posts is a simple WordPress plugin which allows you to list posts from a category into a post/page using the [catlist] shortcode. This shortcode accepts a category name or id, the order in which you want the posts to display, and the number of posts to display. You can use [catlist] as many times as needed with different arguments. Great to use WordPress as a CMS, and create pages with several categories posts.
Usage: [catlist argument1=value1 argument2=value2].
The arguments you can use are:
‘name’ – To display posts from a category using the category’s name. Ex: [catlist name=mycategory]
‘id’ – To display posts from a category using the category’s id. Ex: [catlist id=24]
If you use both arguments (wrong!), List Category Posts will show the posts from the category in ‘name’.
‘orderby’ – To customize the order. Valid values are:
- ‘author’ – Sort by the numeric author IDs.
- ‘category’ – Sort by the numeric category IDs.
- ‘content’ – Sort by content.
- ‘date’ – Sort by creation date.
- ‘ID’ – Sort by numeric post ID.
- ‘menu_order’ – Sort by the menu order. Only useful with pages.
- ‘mime_type’ – Sort by MIME type. Only useful with attachments.
- ‘modified’ – Sort by last modified date.
- ‘name’ – Sort by stub.
- ‘parent’ – Sort by parent ID.
- ‘password’ – Sort by password.
- ‘rand’ – Randomly sort results.
- ’status’ – Sort by status.
- ‘title’ – Sort by title.
- ‘type’ – Sort by type.
Ex: [catlist name=mycategory orderby=date]
‘order’ – How to sort ‘orderby’. Valid values are:
- ‘ASC’ – Ascending (lowest to highest).
- ‘DESC’ – Descending (highest to lowest).
Ex: [catlist name=mycategory orderby=title order=asc]
‘numberposts’ – Number of posts to return. Set to 0 to use the max number of posts per page. Set to -1 to remove the limit. Default: 5
Ex: [catlist name=mycategory numberposts=10]
‘date’ – Display the date of the post next to the title. Default is ‘no’, use date=yes to activate it.
‘author’ – Display the author of the post next to the title. Default is ‘no’, use author=yes to activate it.
You can customize the way List Category Posts shows the posts in your CSS by editing “lcp_catlist“. The generated code is: <ul class=”lcp_catlist”>, and a <li> for each post in the category.
Since version 0.2, List Category Posts includes a sidebar widget. It works pretty much the same as the plugin itself.
List Category Post was initially written with Geany
Now it’s being written with GNU Emacs.
Support this plugin:
Installation
- Upload list-category-posts directory into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Login to your WordPress Admin menu, go to Plugins, and activate it.
- Add “lcp_catlist” class into your theme’s CSS for custom formatting.
- You can find the List Category Posts widget in your widgets.
The generated HTML looks like this:
<ul class="lcp_catlist"> <li> <a href="post_url"> Post title </a></li> <li> <a href="post_url"> Post title </a></li> <li> <a href="post_url"> Post title </a></li> </ul>

Can it works in sidebar? Is there a php version instead of [catlist=ID]? I need to display last 3 post from each category in the sidebar. I cant find any plugin for WP 2.6:(.

I think there is a bug in it, I active it but in option menu there is wrong link to go to this plugin option, I use wordpress 2.6.1,
Also it is very hard to find category ID if there is option to use Category name or Category slug it can be better.

I’ll look to include a sidebar widget to use with it. But if you’re into PHP hacking, here’s the code to include in your theme’s sidebar to include category posts (this is a static sidebar):
Mahdi Yousefi:
Thanks for your feedback. I had another user report your error too. There’s a bug at the options page. I’ll fix it ASAP.
You’re right about findindg the Category ID, I’ll add an option to list categories by the name.
Thanks for the comments, glad you like my plugin.

I just committed version 0.1.1 to wordpress.org, which fixes the 404 error when trying to enter the options page. If you’re using it in your blogs, WordPress should ask you to update soon.

Hi fernanado,
congrats on this great little plugin.
I have a question though. I have set the plugin to show 50 posts from category x with currently 12 posts added but it only shows 11 on the page and leaves a gap.
Do you have an idea what this could be?
Thanks alot and talk later.

Hi,
i just found out that it is actually working just fine.
There was some image overlay in FireFox.
1 suggestion if that ok?
I have installed the plugin “AStickyPostOrderER” and oorted the posts differently from the way i added them. I see that your plugin still orders the posts the way i added them.
Coiuld i change that soemwhere to be compatible?
Thanks alot and keep up the good work.
Hasta la próxima!

Toto:
Thanks for your comments. So the problem you mentioned in your first comment is working fine, right?
About the order of the posts, it’s a great idea, and I’ll implement it on a future release. Something like [catlist=ID order=parameter], with parameter being: title, author, date, ID, etc.
Thanks for the idea/request!

Hi fernando,
yes correct. It working fine.
yeah that’ll be great if you could order it like you mentioned.
And let me say that your plugin is exactly what i was looking for. I wanted to have a page for music articles on my site but have the music articles written as posts.
But i am using the category part as an artist roster, therefore i didn’t want any article category shown there.
Give me a few days and I’ll donate something. I’m just quite skinned atm.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

I’ll work on it. It’ll be like an overloaded [catlist]. This was also exactly what I was looking for, so not being able to find anything that suited my needs, I made it.
A donation would be sweet, but not mandatory, thanks!

I wanted to use this as a static sidebar, how do I use that PHP snippet above with a specific category (ie what tags go around it?

You should use that code in your sidebar.php, on your template’s directory. Here’s an example of how it might look:

Still gives an error in the sidebar, even when using the php. It says this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\nightlybuilt\wp-content\plugins\exec-php\includes\runtime.php(42) : eval()’d code on line 4
I am using PHP exec plugin as well. Maybe it is related? Thanks.

Maurits:
I don’t know about that error. Seems like a specific error on your local server or something.
I’ll be adding a widget to the plugin soon.

Placed directly in the template, if I create a page or a post the plugin works perfectly, but I need to place it in the template… thanks for your help in advance

frank:
Now I get it. What you need to do is write the PHP directly into the template.
You need to do a loop for getting the categories. Change $ID for the category’s ID and $NUMBEROFPOSTS for the max number of posts you want to display:
The plugin doesn’t work if you use [catlist] on the template. Only on pages and posts. But I think this code snippet will work out for you. Tell me if it did (or didn’t).

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16
I downloaded the plugin, activated it.
I then wrote [catlist=nameofmycategory] in my posts and pages (in the HTML editor)as the plugin text says.
Nothing. It just shows [catlist=whatever] as text on the post.
I’m WP 2.5 – any ideas why this just doesn’t work out of the box?

Sam:
You have to use catlist=categoryID for now. That’s the ID, not the name of the category. I am working on a more advanced version where you’ll be able to use the name of the category. It’ll be ready soon.

Fernando, I’ve been searching for a simple plugin like this all day. Thank you! One request. Is there any simple way to add the date of the post to the list as well?
Thanks again!
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16
Oh, I was so excited about this plugin! I thought it was just what I needed, but I’ve run into a problem. I am using the plugin page-category-plus to assign categories to my pages as well as to posts (I use WP as a CMS, not only a blog) and when I activated your plugin, it lists only the posts assigned to the category in question, not pages. Would it be possible for you to edit it so it lists pages as well?
Thank you!
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071618 Iceweasel/3.0.1 (Debian-3.0.1-1)
Elle:
It wouldn’t be too complicated to add the date to the list. I’ll add that as a feature too.
Priscilla:
I’ll download this plugin and check the way it assigns categories to pages. I’ll check if I can make lcp compatible with it, without breaking it for blogs not using page-category-plus.
Thanks for your comments, suggestions and requests. Keep them coming! I’m writing down every suggestion, request and coment to improve the plugin. I’ll be working on them these days.
The next version will be out soon, implementing the sidebar widget with a few options. It’ll be totally independent from the plugin itself. I’ll also try to get some “order by” options into the next release, since its one of the most popular requests.
I’m kind of overwhelmed with all the positive feedback, thanks a lot. Glad you all found the plugin useful!

Fernado –
What an excellent plugin!!! Nice job.
It fits the bill to a T for one way I will be using it.
I have a featue request or a hack request.
I’d like to have the plug-in be able to produce the cat list with interection of two categories where I’d use [catlist id=24,46] and it would show only posts that are members of both 24 and 46. If you could squeeze it in…
Best regards,
Nick

Great work! Thanks for the added functionality.
Now another request.
Is there any way to show the final result of the orderby list in the displayed list? For example, if I sort by the date, can the date AND the post title show? Or if I sort by author, could the output provide author PLUS post title? If it could, this plugin would be beyond perfect!
Payday is Friday, so I’ll fire off a donation for your efforts then.
Thanks again…

The data of the “order by” is definitively going in at version 0.4 of List Category Posts. It will display something like:
*Post title – by Fernando
That’s when it’s ordered by author, and:
*Post title – 07/07/2008
When ordered by date. Maybe even add the option to display the author/date before or after the post title.
I’ll see what I can do about several categories, I should check if WordPress has a default for that, or should I make my own hack.
Has anyone tried the sidebar widget? I haven’t had time for testing yet. I’ll try to have it complete for the next version.
As I wrote before, all your comments and requests are being written down for me to work on them. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi There,
I’m trying your plugin right now and it seems to be doing what it should be, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the following:
Include it in the sidebar and that i can choose that if you visit the page about fishing, people will see the headlines of the fishing news. And when they visit the page of horseriding, they see the news related to the horseriding.
If so, please let me know how I do this. Someone told me i can do it with if statements, but i’m no php expert haha
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1
and some other thing to my post above:
$catposts = get_posts(’category=’.$ID.”&numberposts=”.$NUMBEROFPOSTS);
Can i insert the id in there somewhere?
Cause i tried:
$catposts = get_posts(’category=’.$3.”&numberposts=”.$NUMBEROFPOSTS);
and I trieD:
$catposts = get_posts(’category=’.3.”&numberposts=”.$NUMBEROFPOSTS);
But none worked…
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071618 Iceweasel/3.0.1 (Debian-3.0.1-1)
Klaas:
The sidebar widget is still on development. You can use it with at least one category (i think), with certain parameters.
I didn’t really get what you mean with the headings of each page. You can make a new page with the Headlines of the fishing news by using [catlist name=fishing] for example, and so on with horseriding, etc.
About the code you posted, you should give $ID a value. For example:
$id=3;
$number_posts=5;
And then use them in your code.
Hope this helps.

Great plugin!
How can i list just the title of the category and no posts? I just want a list of categories on the page.
Also how would i include this in a template? Looks like you mention some code above so how do include this in the loop?
Thank you so much!

tk:
You can either write the code above in the sidebar file (generally sidebar.php), or use the sidebar widget included in the latest version of the plugin.
The code doesn’t go in the loop, at least not the one for the posts. It has its own loop, where you bring posts for each category.
I don’t know about listing categories, I think there already is something in WordPress to do that, but I’ll check it.

I tried the code above that you replied to Frank and it just breaks the page. The page won’t even load.
I am trying to add this to my archive.php file. I would like to show a list of post names only, sorted ascending by name for the current category and all children categories. Is this possible? How would I code it to be included on the archive.php page? BTW, using it in a post works beautifully, so I know it is installed correctly.

Great plug in! I now have it working almost perfectly.
I used the php code above in my template, at first it gave an error on this line:
result .= $single->the_excerpt.”\n”.”;
I fixed that by adding a $ at the beggining of the line and now it lists my posts perfectly but I cannot get it to show the excerpt. I have tried everything I can think of, and spent 2 hours searching the web for an answer, but no luck.
Has anyone else managed to make it show the excerpt? muchas gracias

Hi, Fernando, thank you so much for your plugin. I don’t know whether my little problem is related to the plugin or wheter its origin lies somewhere else. Anyway: I’m using this code to display the category list in the sidebar:
The list actually shows five titles but it displays titles from all categories I have, not just one category. I also tried to use the ID – with the same result. Do you have an idea what might be going wrong?

If I add [catlist id=24] to the html, it just print [catlist id=24].
If I add [catlist id=24] inside php code, it gives me an error.
Can you show me the exact coding to add to sidebar.php?
<?php wp_list_categories(’show_count=1&title_li=Categories’); ?>
I want to achieve the following result
I see your examples but don’t know how to add the code correctly to the sidebar.php.

Mrs. Brown:
I had never used the do_shortcode function, but great if it works! I have no idea why it’s displaying posts from all of your categories. The ID should work as well. I think the “name” argument is actually the short url code for the category (See Manage => Categories => Your Category)
Yick:
Yeah, just adding the shortcode to html or php files won’t do it. I’ve said that on previous comments. Try the code I wrote up there for each category you want to display.

I am using AStickyPostOrderER to order my posts. I order I choose does not match with any of the choices you offer in the widget. Is there a way to pick the order from what I choose in AStickyPostOrderER? With this one added feature, this is a real winner.
Also is there a way to put a title on the post lists in the sidebar widget such as you can with other widgets?
Thanks.

Hi there,
very useful plugin.
I was wondering if there is a way to have a class to display as selected the page you’re in. I mean, let’s say i’m in the home page and there is the list in the sidebar: i click a link and there i’m in the page, but the list doesn’t show that i’m already in that page.
This
is the code i need to edit. That should have a
<li class="<php if (page_is(BIG_PROBLEM))".
The BIG PROBLEM is how to tell WP to get the ID of the page i’m in so that php render the special class.
Maybe i’m not very clear, but i can explain better if anybody can help me

… Looks like, of all the plugins for wordpress, this is the only thing that comes close to it. Great work! All you need now is to add the Category as a title and link (as above), let the user display all categories or choose which to exclude… and this will be a perfect plugin!
Right now it looks like I have to do this manually…

Thanks for all your comments. Just a quick note to let you know all your requests will be considered for the next version.
I’m running low on time recently, so as soon as I get some spare time, I’ll work on my WordPress plugins for a while.

Awesome plugin!
I`m using several different categories on my website, and now i would like to display the last 5 posts within every category using the following code:
$result = "";
$catposts = get_posts('category='.$ID."&numberposts=".$NUMBEROFPOSTS);
foreach($catposts as $single):
$result .= "ID)."'>".$single->post_title."";
endforeach;
$result .= "";
echo $result;
For example:
=======================================
Post in Category 1.
[text]
Last 3 posts in this category:
- post 1
- post 2
- post 3
=======================================
Post in Category 2.
[text]
Last 3 posts in this category:
- post 4
- post 5
- post 6
========================================
I want this code to be dynamic so that i dont have to change the code for every single category.
Do you have any idea how to achieve this?

I just downloaded this plugin (not for the site listed above, but for a family member’s web site), and have followed the directions in uploading the plugin, etc. (as far as I know), but when I put your code in to list posts from a category on one of the site’s pages, it displays nothing. What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks, I hope to get this working as I think this is just the plugin I’ve been looking for.

To answer a question asked above, I have found that to get a title, the easiest way is to put a h2 tag with the title above the catlist shortcode.

Very useful plugin. Just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks very much for releasing it.
However [catlist name=mycategory] doesn’t seem to be working for me, even though [catlist id=ID] is working just fine. I am using Wordpress 2.6.2.
All I get with [catlist name=mycategory] is a list of all posts of all categories.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
I’m getting the same results as Upekshapriya. [catlist id=ID] works as designed (see the Berberova button on the site associated with my name above), but it would be nice to be able to use the category name.
One additional question: can this plugin be configured to display the full text of the posts instead of just the titles, the same way clicking on a given category list does?
My objective is to have a navigation button that points to such a page.
Thanks so much for your contribution to the WP community.

In addition to the problem I mentioned a few posts above, I cannot get numberposts to work. I’ve tried 0, -1, and numbers greater or smaller than 5, but only the default five post titles appear on the page.
Currently I’m using [catlist id=4 numberposts=7].

Hello and thanks for the plugin!
Is it possible to display posts relating to two (or more) categories i.e. posts with category ID 9 *AND* ID 13; posts marked with both these categories.
I know there is the option in Wordpress to use the following code:
query_posts(array(’category__and’=>array(9,13)));
Is it possible to use the following:
[catlist id=9&13]Thanks!

Tengo una duda, ¿Es posible listar las entradas correspondientes a cada categoría una vez que estás dentro de la misma?

Thanks for the update! I notice the title option is now in there.
A quirk I’ve found in both the newest update and just previous (I’ve only tried it on wordpress 2.7) – everytime I save the widgets’ setting on my sidebar and then re-open the detailed options for your widget it seems everything is reset (to the first category, blank for the # of posts field, order by date, descending), instead of showing the previously saved settings.

This plugin worked great until I upgraded the plugin in Wordpress 2.7.
The pluginseems to want to list everything on my website, instead of just the category specified.
I went back to the old version of the plugin, hoping I could get it working again. But no luck! The plugin is still listing everything on my website instead of just the categories specified. Any ideas what is going on?

Here`s what I`ve done.
I`ve uploaded the files into the plugins directory in it`s foot folder “list-category-posts”.
After that I went to the page where I wanted to post the list of post in the catagori and I used these variables.
[catlist id=3 orderby=title order=asc]I`ve also tried..
[catlist name=action orderby=title order=asc]
Nothing shows up on the page. If someone can help me out that would be great. I am using wordpress 2.6

hi
I’m slowly trying to figure out Wordpress and was really thrilled to see this plug-in because it sounded just like what I was looking for!
Whenever I use a [catlist] it only displays the titles of the posts.
Is there a way to display the full post information (title, date, post text, comments) similar to the way posts are displayed on the front page??
Sorry if its been asked before, but I didnt see it in my skimming

Dave:
If the plugin was correctly activated, then I don’t see where the problem is. The syntax is correct. Maybe the id for the category is wrong? Try with a different category ID and tell me if it works.
graham:
There’s a category page for that in WordPress. If you want to show all of the information, check the category’s page.

For the people using WP 2.7 who find that it is not listing the posts in the proper category, here is your solution:
1) Use [catlist id=VALUE] INSTEAD OF [catlist name=VALUE]
2) To find the category id # in WP 2.7, go to the main categories page, click on the category, and look in the url

I have found a part that does not work for me.
The catlist ignores “private” posts. I would like the titles of those posts listed as well, as I am using WP Sentry to give access to certain private posts to certain groups.
Is there a way I can get catlist to include posts listed as “private”?

There’s no alternative to showing posts from different categories yet other than writing it several times. It’s one of the features I worked on, but it isn’t ready for release yet.
site:
There’s not a way to display posts from tags. At least not yet, I hadn’t thought about it. Maybe I can include that in a future release as “[taglist id=tagid]” or something.
Keith Moen:
I don’t know about private posts. I’ll check WP Sentry when I have some spare time.
Carl:
Not yet, could be a future implementation.

How about with the url name for the category?

Try with divs or tables.

Not yet. I’ll look into that too.

Hey Fernando,
Thanks for making this excellent plugin. I know it works because I used it with the iNove template using wordpress 2.7 – but now I’ve switched themes (to the Gear theme) and it does the strangest thing: after I upload it to my server, then activate the plugin, it shows up as a widget but I can’t click ADD! There’s just no button for it.
Is there some other way i can insert it directly into my page?
Thanks!

Hi, i tried to use your plugin but the lists of post titles is somewhat wrong because i use jLanguage plugin.
The titles appear as [english]Title[english][spanish]Titulo[/spanish] and not Title when in english or Titulo when viewing my blog in spanish.
The Recent Posts that WordPress has by default works great. So, maybe you can make some magic with your plugin to work along with jLanguage.
Thanks.

i can list categories only by their ID – but i’m having a difficult time with the numberposts option – the page i’m trying to display all this on just comes up black when i try to use this option in more than one place…
this is what i’m trying to do:
`
beverages
[catlist id=23 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
breads
[catlist id=31 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
breakfasts
[catlist id=34 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
condiments
[catlist id=25 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
cooked veggies
[catlist id=29 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
entress
[catlist id=30 orderby=name numberposts=-1]

[catlist id=28 orderby=name numberposts=-1]
snacks
[catlist id=22 orderby=name numberposts=-1]

Although I think I have used the right code, it only shows me 5 posts per category.
See here: http://www.recipemobile.com/recipes
The code I used eg. [catlist id=15 numberofposts=-1]

Hi Fernando,
Great plugin! Easy to use!
I’ve made a little adaptation on it though, to exclude the current post on which the list will be displayed. Thus when I now put your [catlist] on a post, that post itself will not be displayed in the list.
Might be useful for others too, maybe an argument to pass in? Like exludeCurrent=yes?
Alterations that I did:
//define the current post
global $post;
$thePostID = $post->ID;
//inside the foreach loop, filter the current post
//that is: only display other posts than the current one
foreach($catposts as $single):
if ($thePostID != $single->ID){
$output …. (your code)
}
Keep up the good work!
Tom

Thanks for a great plugin. Question about the css.
My my dynamic horizontal menu is ul,li so I changed the plugin output to just ul and it worked perfect. In the next upgrade can you have separate styling for li,ul display?
Thanks.

Nice plugin, for things like this I usually prefer hard coding into template file, though laziness took over and I gave in. Im glad that I did, this sweet little plugin saved me allot of time. Good job man….. Be sure to mention you somewhere out there…..

Hey Fernando,
I’m wondering if there is a way to show only posts that have been posted within a certain ammount of days within a page. I’d like to have a few tables such as “todays posts” and “yesterday’s posts” and have them display on my front page.
Let me know. Thanks

Your plug in is exactly what I need but I cannot get it to work. All I get in the page is the code, not the content.
That is, the page says:
Blah blah blah
[name=sewing]
where sewing is my category name.
I tried disabling the WYSIWYG editor but that made no difference. It is as if your plug in is just not there.

Great plugin… just needs a little more explanation when suggesting php hack.
Quick suggestion:
When you say “Change $ID for the category’s ID and $NUMBEROFPOSTS for the max number of posts you want to display:”
You need to remind people that the numbers entered need to be in “” marks. For example… if category ID is 7 and number of posts is 10 then the code will look like this:
$catposts = get_posts(’category=’.”7″.”&numberposts=”.”10″);
Otherwise… you get the T_Dnumber parse error
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8
OOPs! Quick follow up… That code had ” instead of ‘ !!!
Meant to say single quote marks (otherwise IE loads page but gives an error message)
So for the same example:
$catposts = get_posts(’category=’.’7′.’&numberposts=’.'10′);
Sorry!

Hey marc,
I haven’t updated the plugin for a while, since I’ve been pretty busy with work and stuff.
But as soon as I get on another plugin updating streak, I’ll try to include as many new features as possible, mostly based on the comments.
Thanks for using LCP!

Hello! Is there a way to show a list of multiple categories? For example, to sort by cat1 AND cat2? This would rock, though the plugin is fantastic now.

small addition works for me.
Edit list_cat_posts.php.
After line 64, add:

I’m trying to remove the time from the date option, but can’t seem to get it to output anything.
I tried chaning
$output.=$single->post_date
to
$output.=$single->post_date = date(”d-m-y”,strtotime($post->post_date))
but it returns 0 for the date. Any ideas?

Hi Fernando,
Thanks for making this great plug-in, really useful for me, exactly what I was looking for!
@ Kane (and other trying to change the date format)

at line 59 change

where “l, F jS, Y” is according to the standard Wordpress date formats which can be found here

Great plugin. How would I go about adding a small image before the links?
$output .= “I WANT AN IMAGE HEREID).”‘>”.$single->post_title.”“;
For some reason when I try to add the normal deal it errors and makes my page entirely white. I don’t know a good way to do so, any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

@Joe,
Thanks! That worked with one minor change. the double quotations needed to be single quotations within the date format.
$output.=” – “.$single->post_date = date(’l, F jS, Y’,strtotime($single->post_date));

can you append the icon “new!” to the first entry of a list of posts in a category and to be removed by some specified date–i know this it too muc to ask, maybe do the “new! first and worry about the date later.
thanks for a great plug in

Thanks for the plug-ins. the listing works great, but I have installed a multi-language tool called gengo.
I have both english and french translations and both show in the category list when I am looking at the english or french site.
Any thoughts on how to work around this?

Can someone walk me through the installation of this? I do not understand. This is the part of the instructions I don’t get…
Add “lcp_catlist” class into your theme’s CSS for custom formatting.
I am trying to get my posts to list by category on my archives page. Any ideas? Hope someone can help. This looks like what I need, jsut not that saavy when it comes to code, etc.
