i’m wondering if there is a way to display the 10 most recent posts of the same category at a custom place of the page, i’d like to insert it in another div but can find a way to do that…

Version 1.6 Released

This version has been verified to work with WordPress 2.5.

An ‘Excluded Categories’ option has been added, as well as a few other minor fixes.

Thanks for your great work.

I have the same intention than Adil (#91): to exclude some categories (or to include just a few). I tried the solution proposed in #92, but nothing happens (it shows all the categories of the post).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to include a list of posts from a static page. This of course would mean the ability to also define which category to listâ€¦is this attainable using this plugin. I have been searching for a plugin to do this for a while, as I use static pages as part of a CMS solution with my websites.

Hi, I found a problem and fix it.
I had a post with “&” in it.
So I’ve added htmlspecialchars to the output, like this htmlspecialchars($lpost->post_title), now the code is valid.

Great plugin. Thanks !

Hello,

thank you for this great plugin! But I have problem it shows me:
WordPress database error: [Table 'U7973116.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_date, post_category FROM wp_posts, wp_post2cat WHERE category_id = 48 AND wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id AND ID != 14 AND post_status = ‘publish’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 5

You can check it at link above (my signature) at the end of the page.

I am looking for reply.

It is a wonderful plugin. However, when I include more than one category, the posts seem to repeat. Is there a way to remove this duplication?

Thanks

Just edit your plugin and take the text from the latest version and copy paste.

Hey man,

Great plugin, but I get the following errors:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id AND wp_term_relationships.' at line 7]
SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_date, wp_terms.term_id as post_category FROM wp_posts, wp_terms, wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy WHERE wp_terms.term_id = AND wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id AND wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id AND wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id AND ID != 500 AND post_status = ‘publish’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 400

Any idea what’s up?

hey,
thanks for the plugin. it’s great. honestly
i’d like to know, though, how can i go about adding excerpts next to the listed titles. (i’ve seen two other users interested in doing the same thing. i would appreciate it if you could email me the solution as well or post it here. or even better, maybe adding it in a future version?)
i would also be interested in knowing if there’s a way of listing related posts randomly.
cheers!

I searched the nine pages of comments, and didnt see a request, so I thought I would ask. Is there any way to include a list of posts from a static page. This of course would mean the ability to also define which category to list…is this attainable using this plugin.

This plugin is working PERFECTLY if I place the code in the post. Otherwise - the “automatic” trigger doesn’t seem to work.

I could manage this way - but I’d love to have it work automatically l….

Correction, I added “echo ddop_show_posts();” inside php tags to get the output on the sidebar.

I added the following to my sidebar.php and it is working just nicely out of the loop:

“ddop_show_posts();”

These are of course contained with the standard php tag, which I can’t out into a comment.
