Hi,

Great plugin. Exactly what I needed.
Is there any way to embed this directly into my template instead of through the widget tools?

cheers

Hi, thanks so much for this plugin! I’ve been searching for something that would allow multiple selections across categories and I think this fits the bill! Question though: Maybe I’m missing it but is there a way to have the plugin ony list a few categories? I’ve been going through converting categories that I don’t want to display into tags but there are some that I’d really like to remain as categories, they just don’t need a dropdown here. Can I somehow exclude some? Thanks very much.

Hello!,, your plugin is a one-of-a-kind one and mostly needed, congratulations for developing this! I’ really thankful for your work, I haven’t found any other plugin that makes filtering as easy and logical as you did. Congratulations

A couple of ideas: the plugin shuld work also for “taxonomies” more than just categories.

Also both of your ideas are really great!

* Admin page for full customization of widget behaviour
* More than one sub-level!!

Keep the good work coming, I really appreciate what you’re doing (I’m considering giving a donation, but I’m from Venezuela and we have strong currency restrictions in my country )x

Isaac Rowntree you are fantastic ! Your Multiple Category Selection Widget is the most valued on my site and I’m sure you will receive much accolade for a job really well done. Thank you so much for filling the void.
There is a major problem with WP-Smart-Sort though. It sorts on the first criteria only & returns more results than were returned by MCSW. For example if I use Multiple Category Selection Widget to return posts in categories 126 AND 385, (giving say 4 posts) then use WP-Smart-Sort, I will received a list of posts in category 126 only (giving say 10 posts).
But that is just the next hurdle to jump and I thank you very much for your wonderful efforts.
Kind regards,
Joan
