How to display two separate post sections in sidebar
-
I use a widget to display my most recent blog posts (I believe this is a built-in WordPress app; 6-9 depending upon month) in the left sidebar. I “require” certain program participants to review all of these posts. I also want to be able to post other “optional” posts but want these two ‘types’ of posts to be displayed in the left sidebar under different sections (i.e. “Required” and “Optional”). How can I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
