  1. Can I modify the Category Widget to show only the headings of each post instead of showing both the heading and a short summary of the post ? I feel that the summary is messy and redudant ..

  2. How do i manipulate widgets under the Widget settings ? For example, i want to enable the ‘ Top Rated ‘ widget, but when i drag it to any of the sidebars on the right , the original ‘ latest post ‘ and ‘ categories ‘ widgets will disappear ?

  Thanks in advance =D

  1. That varies from theme to theme and is not something we can change really. Take a look at this post by Panos for which themes show what in category and archive view: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/ .

  Thanks alot for clearing my doubts dude =)

  Guess i have no choice but to use the similar widgets to replace the default “latest post” and “categories” widget. As i want to add other widgets at the default sidebar as well..
