Hi
I would like to personalize the Popular Category widget:

– I would like to hide some categories, for example the “Without category” label or the “Featured” one.

– I would like to order the results according to descending number of posts.

Is it possible and how?

thank you

Hi,

You can exclude some specific categories using category ID here – http://screencast.com/t/uNeViurjJ this is used on our demo to exclude some categories, but you can remove that condition and add your own categories ids.
Also the the order can be changed from that file – http://screencast.com/t/a5oREOZfBQS

Thanks!

thank you Alin!

I got to hide some categories!

but the ‘order’ rule seems not to work…
I wrote in php file
‘order’ => ‘DESC’
but this is what I get: http://screencast.com/t/76EXHInzHsmB
as if the first category didn’t follow the rule

Hi,

The order should be already descending by default like you can see in the screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/a5oREOZfBQS as the popular category block is also used in predefined footer style on our demo like you can see it is descending order – http://screencast.com/t/nxZalZ926ZB

Thanks!
