 * When will the next update be available? I’m using this plugin on a client site
   and need the date/time meta for each post.
 * Other suggestions would be:
 * 1. Adding a category icon/colour that displays alongside each post of that category,
   allowing upload of custom category icons or using an icon font by default.
 * 2. A ‘View All Posts’ link that gets added after a list of posts, only if the
   user is showing one category.
 * I think if you could add these things it would be the best and most flexible 
   recent posts from category widget around.
 * Also, I tried using the shortcode generator on the new version but it wouldn’t
   work. It wouldn’t include my categories even though I listed them as you’ve stated,“
   2,3,4”. Here’s what it output:
 * `[mycatlist cat_length='20' post_length='20' excerpt_length='30' title_only='
   no' thumbnail='no' read_more='Read More...' new_window='no' posts='1' order_by
   ='name' exclude_cat='' include_cat='' child_cats='no' columns='1' limit='0' order_by_type
   ='asc']`
 * I’ve gone back to the old version for now.
 * Thanks

 * Hi mazecreative
 * Thanks for posting your issue,
 * 1. Option to change color of cat title is already available in Pro Version, However
   if you understand html/css code enough you can do it your self in free version
   also by adding custom css in custom header code box….
 * 2. The category title is already linking to category archives, so “view all posts”
   was not added, however will consider it to add soon,
 * The include only category will be fixed in update going to be live in few hours…
 * Please note that, you can always contact me directly to get instant support on
   your issue from my official site mindstien.com,
 * Regards,

 * Excellent, thanks.
 * What I managed to do with the old plugin is add “.$cat_title->name.” as a class
   on the ‘rpfec_box’ div and then added a div with the class ‘rpfec_icon’ within
   that. That way I could add category icons as background images on the element
   of each class. So for example, for my ‘News’ category I’ve added a news background
   image to the class ‘.recent-posts-show-cat-icon .News .rpfec_icon’. However, 
   my client doesn’t want the category icons on every page, just the Home page, 
   so I’m going to use jQuery to use the page title as a body class for each page
   and hide the ‘rpfec_icon’ div on everything but the Home page. The way I’m using
   the plugin is to display 1 column of posts rather than the masonry style layout.
   Obviously the ideal would be allowing the user to upload and add icons to each
   category in the backend but I understand this would be difficult.
 * Looking forward to the update later!
