Side bar and limited display of post
-
Hello,
I am unable to do the following, please help1) How to display the categories widget in my sidebar. Every time i try to use the category widget, it appears in the footer and not in sidebar
2) How do i make the posts appear in limited view so that reader has to click on the post to read the full post. -
Hi There,
1) see the following about category widgets
https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/categories-widget/
and for customizing the same:
https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/#widget-visibility
2) while editing the post , there is an option to insert a read more tag. Insert this tag at the appropriate place where you want the readers to see read more. The readers on clicking read more will be able to view the full post.
see link below:

Hi there, just wanted to add that all the new Block Style themes do not yet have the ability to add widgets or blocks in a sidebar. The only widgetized area is the footer.
Staff have advised in the past that the ability to add sidebars is being worked on, no timeline given, but in the meantime, you might be able to achieve something similar using reusable blocks and columns in posts and pages. More on the reusable block at > https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/reusable-block/
Hope that helps too.
