  Hi Ramola,

  Just visited your site and saw one post listed in your Top Posts & Pages Widget:

  

  That widget will only display the posts and pages with the most views (or Likes, but your settings are set to views) based on the statistics from the last 48 hours. In the last 48 hours of your stats, that is the only article page that was viewed so it makes sense that it’s the only article displayed in your widget.

  Most of your site traffic appears to only be on the homepage, and these views do not factor into the Top Posts and Pages widget, only views on specific posts or pages.

  Alex,

  Thanks so much for the info!

  I wonder if there’s another way to set it up so stats from more than 48 hours show up? Can one fix that? I’ll take a look again too.

  Thank you again,
  Ramola

  Hi Ramola,

  Sorry but that customization isn’t available. If you have several posts you’d like to have featured in your sidebar regardless of the current statistics, you could set that up using a Text Widget and the Display Posts Shortcode.

  Or perhaps the Recent Posts Widget.

  Those might be better options for your site until you start seeing higher traffic on specific posts.
