Current post is highlighted in bold
Post Category Navigation widget – Display previous/next posts with filtering support
Configure global settings that apply to all widget instances
Works with any theme
Lightweight and performant (minimal overhead when not using advanced features)
Zero bloat – only loads CSS on pages where the widget appears
Advanced Features (Disabled by Default):
All three advanced features are disabled by default to keep the plugin lightweight. Enable them in Settings → Category Posts List to activate.

Post Metadata Display – Show publication date, author, comment count, and reading time estimates (inline or block format)
Featured Images – Display post thumbnails with configurable sizes, positions (left/top/right), and layout modes (list/2-column/3-column grid)
Display Formats:
List – Traditional vertical list, one post per line
Comma-Separated – Posts displayed inline: Post 1, Post 2, Post 3
Inline – Posts displayed inline with spaces: Post 1 Post 2 Post 3
Spacing Options:
Compact – 3px padding (tight list)
Normal – 8px padding (default)
Comfortable – 12px padding
Spacious – 15px padding (generous spacing)
Post Separators:
Toggle borders between posts on or off to match your site’s design.
Usage
Widget Setup
Go to Appearance → Widgets
Find and add “Category Posts List” widget to a widget area (sidebar, footer, etc.)
Settings:
Posts Per Page – How many posts to display (default: 100)
Sort Posts – Choose sort order:
Title (A-Z)
Title (Z-A)
Date (Newest First)
Date (Oldest First)
Note: The widget will automatically display the category name as its heading.
Global Settings
Go to Settings → Category Posts List to configure:
Post Separators – Show or hide borders between posts
Display Format – Choose how posts are presented (List, Comma-separated, or Inline)
Spacing Between Posts – Adjust vertical spacing in list format
These settings apply to all widget instances on your site.
How It Works
When a visitor views a post, this plugin:
Detects the post’s category
Retrieves all posts in that category
Displays them according to your configured settings
Highlights the currently viewed post in bold
The widget only appears on single post pages and does not display on category archives, search results, or homepage.
