Lets say I have two category widgets, each for a different thing. Is it possible for them to link different post categories? I’m having tbe problems where both of them just list all my post categories, and I cannot find a way so I can choose what catgories I want and don’t want them to show

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

I am also having this problem, I added a categories widget and put it categories such as:
-Competitions
-Hair & Beauty
-Reviews

I then added a second Categories Widget ‘thinking’ I could use this for different posts such as reviews, and then list the categories such as:
-Hair Reviews
-Skin Reviews
-Fashion Reviews

But when I added the second widget it looks like it has completely duplicated the first one. ‘Is it not possible to have a second categories widget for different topics?

That’s how the categories widget works. It seems to be for two sets of categories, but in fact they are duplicates. If you have 2 categories widgets, one can be display a drop-down menu and one can display all the categories, otherwise they are the same. I think it was something WordPress began to develop, but then never brought to completion.

It might be possible to use the links widget to have different sets of categories.

Or a text widget: get the URLs of the category pages, create links to them, and use them with the code for unordered lists.
