It’s an easy way to show and order all posts from category/tag into a page/post. Really handy for showing your tutorials, articles, etcetera.
It shows as a list(<ul><li>) so it will apply your blog style-sheet as you wish.
Note: If the selected term(category or tag) has a description, it will be shown in a <blockquote> tag.

Download 0.4.1
Download from the official repository!
Usage
- Go to Category Show’s options page and generate the tag.
- Insert your new tag into your post.
Tags to know:
If you want to apply some CSS, those are the tags you should know: <h3>, <ul>, <li>, <a> and <blockquote>.
Output example:
<h3>Category</h3>
<blockquote>Category description, if exists</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><a title="link title" rel="bookmark" href="link">title</a></li>
</ul>
That’s it!

Hi Felipe, nice plugin… but it duplicates the post in the list, please, do you know why?
gracias
Churro
ooopppspss i find it¡¡¡ sorry and many thanks¡¡¡¡¡
I love this plugin, but it wasn’t putting my posts in alpha order like I chose. I came here to the plugin homepage to see if anyone else had had the same problem, and thank goodness (for me) someone else had.
Thanks to Daniel Hagerty for posting the following comment, which helped me fix the one glitch that was going to send me away from this plugin to another one:
My wife had trouble with 0.4.1 and sorting categories via date vs -date. Seems there’s a condition that’s specified backwards within wpcs_main. Look for
if(!empty($match[4][$key])) {
. The “!” shouldn’t be there. Written as it is, using date/-date/title/-title will always produce the default date/descending behavior!
Because I was able to fix my issue, I’ll be staying and even donating a bit to the efforts of the creator of the plugin. Thanks.
Hi! Nice plugin!
I have a question though.
Is it possible to implement the code straight into a php file?
I would like to use it in my archive.php file.
Hi Felipe.Very useful! But please tell me how to modify the script so that if there are no posts in a category yet, either nothing at all or just the category name is output on the page instead of the error message: Error(Plugin Category Show): no post published in ‘Category Name’. Thanks!
