  My Display WordPress Posts Widget is not updating with the most recent posts from another wordpress.com site. It shows 1 blog post but not the most recent. I have tried clearing cache, deleting and re-installing the widget, etc.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Currently, it doesn’t look like the Display WordPress Posts widget is up on your sidebar here:

  Would you mind putting it back up so I can take a look?

  That is actually the site I want to draw posts from. The other site in question is this one. https://energycodeny.wordpress.com/

  Hi!

  This is actually a bug with sticky posts and the Display Post widget. The widget effectively ignores sticky posts. Once the “Sticky” status is removed from the post, it should begin displaying correctly under the Display Posts widget. We’re aware of the issue!

  I removed the sticky status and it doesn’t seem to be updating still. Does it need time?

  It looks like it did just need some time to update. I’m seeing two posts in the widget on my side. Are they both appearing for you now?
