Upload the file `widget_cat_posts.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Position the widget in the desired sidebar through the `widgets` admin page 4. Set the category and number of posts to display ## FAQ WordPress doesn’t let you do this? Really? Nope.
