# [Plugin: Query Posts] Show specific ID doesn't work

 * I was so excited to find this plugin, but it appears to be broken under WordPress
   3.0.1. If you put in a specific page or post ID, it does not display that particular
   page or post. 🙁

 * I confirm having the same issue…
 * It respects the `post_type`, `order` and `orderby` parameters but not the ID –
   it just shows the fisrt post according to other parameters.

 * OK I’m glad to know I’m not the only one having this issue. I guess we will have
   to wait for Justin to release a fix.

 * I can confirm this behaviour: neither Category ID nor a comma-separated list 
   of post-IDs is taken up.
    All other parameters work.

 * It’s definitely a bug. Hopefully Justin fixes it in the next version! 🙂

 * Custom taxonomies also don’t get picked up. I mean – they appear as input fields
   but entering an ID doesn’t make it print posts from the specific taxonomy.
 * In fact anything other than `category` is not working. Anybody know a way how
   to at least debug this thing?

 * I can’t get Category to work either.. just shows all posts. 🙁 Tags and pages
   seem to work but really wanted to use Categories rather than tags.

 * Same problem, here’s the fix. It’s missing the argument for a single post in 
   the widget-query-posts.php file. Open that up and add in the following at line
   123, right before you see:
    `/* Begin display of widget`
 *     ```
       /*NCG edit */
       if( $instance['post'])
       $args['p'] = $instance['post'];
       ```
   
 * Problem solved. Thanks for Justin for a ridiculously useful plugin. Just discovered
   it a couple of weeks ago and it makes me want to cry how many custom bits of 
   code I set up on templates that I could have accomplished with widgets using 
   this plugin. It’s flat out amazing!
