There’s a widget plugin “Posts by Tag” that might do the trick. We’ll see.
That was where I was going to take a look first, to see if there was already a plugin that fitted the bill.
If it’s not a good match, let me know and I’ll see what I can do!
I love this plug in but I would really like the oldest posts to display first. Is there any way to make that happen?
I have installed this on two websites and set both to post the full post rather than just an excerpt. On one, the post and photo show up for each post. On the other, only an excerpt shows up and an occasional photo. How can I get it to display the full post? That is what is selected.
Hi
I installed the pages posts and tried but found it has a like Archieved from Category “category_name” on the top of the page.
How I can remove this line? Please kindly advise.
Thanks & Best Regards

Hi
I’ve just want to let you know I finally found the way to remove that header. It’s actually come from the archive.php
BTW, sorry for some typo of my previous message.
Thanks & Best Regards

i love this plug its really working very well with one of my project
Hi. My page shows the posts that I want, but the template is not working now. what can I do? It looks like it’s canceling the template. Please help!!!
Thank you!!
Hi,
I installed and activated page post, but noticed there’s a “browsing category…”line at the top of the page just before most recent post. did anyone encounter a similar issue? thanks in advance!!
Hi!
I’m having trouble with the plugin. When I open the page with posts I get all post not from the desired category.
There’s also an error saying: Fatal error: Call to a member function get_queried_object() on a non-object in /home/****/public_html/new/wp-includes/query.php on line 254
How can I fix that?
@Dax – which version of wordpress are you running?
@wstang – thats your archive template. Have a look in either archive.php or archives.php in your theme and you’ll see that bit of text!
@Rich – I’m using wordpress 3.0.1
I’m also having the problem of my full post not displaying even though I have selected the option from the settings page. Can you help?
I am having trouble with my full post publishing on a page. The only place that shows the full post is in the sidebar under recent post. This is not where I want the full post to show. If this can be fixed your plugin will be perfect for me and you will have single handedly improved the quality of life of a single person in this world. Perhaps two since AC seems to be having a similar issue.
Thanks,
Javier
When I try to set up this, I go to add a new page, and none of my Categories or Tags show up in the drop down menu. What do I do?
Hello,
nice plug in with a “mandatory” functionnality (should be native in wordpress no?).
But I have a problem.
I put some layout in my posts, like colors, and this is working correctly in the home page but on the specfic pages where I use pages-posts to show posts from specifics categories, the layout is no more present.
do somebody can help me
Thanks

Love the plugin, use it on multiple sites… definitely a “must have” in WordPress.
One question… can you modify the plugin or send me code to allow “Sticky” posts to show at the top just like how they would on the WP Index page.
@Ashley – are your categories & tags already in use? You have to make sure you have at least 1 post in them before they appear in the drop down!
@Hapache Check out the archive.php (or archives.php) file for the layout – the pages posts plugin makes the page act like an archive..
