 * What I am looking for, is to extend the default WordPress “Recent Post Widget“.
   All I really want to add is ability to filter which particular Category I want.
 * Now, your plugin is too advanced for what I want, and I already have 36 plugins
   on my website, of which I don’t want to add more.
 * So I seem to be making a kind of tough request from you–- Can you help me send
   me the raw code of this your plugin, which I can add in functions.php and still
   be able to get the correct function of your plugin?
 * 2.) Or can you send me a code which will extend the default WordPress “Recent
   Post Widget by adding opportunity to select Category?
 * Needing to hear from you soon.
 * Regards

 * Hi,
    If you are familiar with code, you can try this [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/95605](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/95605)
   and change the `$cat_ID` with the category id you want.
