You should install the AVH Extended Categories widget http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-categories-widget/. It has lots of options.

Hi Veronica,

I’ve come across one that I haven’t used. Give it a try and let me know. Tags are an automatic filter, meaning that if you click on a tag link, then you are only getting posts with that tag. I’d have to see your website and could maybe suggest ways to use the tags better.

Good luck,

Hi Angela,

I am trying to actually display a list of posts grouped by category in a page. Which I have working now, but in addition to that I would like to give the user the option to sort posts by title, by date or filter by tags.

Have you come across anything like this?

Hi Angela,
and excuse for my last comment: i was a little tired and i do not realize that you solved my problem !
Anyway i solved using conditional_tag in widget logic plug in.

Another question:
do you think i could limit number of listed post in a simple way?

I updated the post above to include instructions for how to display the the latest posts of the current category in the sidebar.

Hi Ryan,

If you’d like to show posts as a drop down menu, you might try:

Thanks for the tip! I changed “date” to “title” and was able to sort alphabetically by post name, which is exactly what I needed.

Do you know of any way to display the posts in a drop down list (rather than displaying as an unordered list) with this plugin?
