The Category Column is mainly designed to give your blog a bit more of a newspaper behaviour. E.g. The plugin shows the latest posts from all categories with an offset of three posts (which are in the main column) on our homepage.
If there is a post thumbnail, it will be displayed above the headline of the post. No further text will appear. If there is no thumbnail, only the headline and the excerpt of the post will be shown. When the plugin can detect neither the thumbnail nor the excerpt of a post, it will display just the first couple of sentenses (or words) of a post.
The Category Column was tested up to WP 4.5. It should work with versions down to 2.9 but was never tested on those.

Category Column

The Category Column does simply, what the name says; it will show excerpts of the latest posts in your sidebar.

PressRoom supports the sub-compact publishing model. Content is structured around the concept of Editorial Projects. An Editorial Project contains an unlimited number of Editions, which in turn are collections of posts, pages and custom post types.
Editions can be published to:
<ul>
<li>Web as static html files</li>
<li>iOS Apps, feeding a native client based on the open source Baker Framework</li>
<li>Web Apps with offline reading on mobile and desktop devices (*)</li>
<li>be packaged for the Adobe DPS HTML importer (*)</li>
<li>published as a Json stream (*)</li>
</ul>
Get the iOS client https://betas.to/dPPWzSnE
Suitable for magazines, newspapers or just to manage your static websites and release your blog to multiple channels. PressRoom is being developed around a vision for digital publishing that we see growing and struggling with the available technologies.
(*) not yet ready for public distribution, but available as custom development for immediate deployment
