There are several plugins that add a widget to the sidebar showing recent posts from a chosen category. But this plugin choses the category automatically based on the category that the post being viewed belongs to. The widget only displays on single post pages. On other page types it just disappears!
Related Links by Category can be seen when viewing a single page post (see demo site), under the name Related Links.

Hi,
Seems to me like you need to move “echo $after_widget;” in function widget_RLBC within the brackets of the “if (is_single()) {” statement. Otherwise you will echo the content of $after_widget even though you are not on a single page.
This screwed up my page. Moving that statement solved it.

Hi Andrew,
Look I was wondering, is there a way to make your plugin sort posts from a category in ascending order?

Hi,
Thanks for this usefull plugin
I’ve got a problem with WP3 – the widget only show 4 links without using the set up in the widget panel.
Am I alone with this issue ?

I’m planning to rewrite this plugin from scratch pretty soon. Right now it’s pretty messy and doesn’t allow for much customization. Stay tuned for that update.
