    [catlist name=”categoryname”] inserted in standard widgets does not show anything anymore.
    See sidebar, widget title “Projekte zum Thema:” on http://www.vnb.de/themen/beruflich-qualifiziert/ and siblings – we only see

    <div class="textwidget"><ul class="lcp_catlist" id="lcp_instance_0"></ul>

    Using Latest WP, Plugin and php Version.
    Also a rollback to plugin v0.75, 0.76, 0.77 and 0,78. does not help.
    0.78 has been current for 2 months…
    Affected pages and taxonomies have not been touched.

    I cannot reproduce this. Was there anything else that got changed: other plugin or theme update?

    I recommend the traditional way: try it with all other plugins disabled and with the default WordPress theme. It works on my end in this setup so it should also work on yours. Then start enabling plugins, one by one, and see which one causes the problem.

    I have just completeted this kind of test.
    The plugins still shows posts, but no pages.
    I suspect the plugin https://de.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/add-category-to-pages/ which seems to have problems since v1.1. v1.0 is not available anymore 🙁
    We will see it another soluction for categories for pages works better and I will get back to you.

    Ah, in your initial post you didn’t mention the problem was with displaying pages. Remember that the LCP plugin by default lists posts only. It’s described in the documentation. To display pages you have to explicitly specify it in the shortcode:

    [catlist post_type=page]

    Just want to let you know:
    [catlist name=”xyz”] has worked in the past! Anyway,
    [catlist post_type=page name=”xyz”] is working now.
    Thank you!

    If it worked in the past it means some other plugin was managing it. The LCP plugin displays posts only by default.
