  Hello. Is there a way to configure a widget to display posts under a certain tag? I know there are widgets for displaying recent posts and the tag cloud, but I want to just show links in my sidebar to posts of a certain tag. Thanks!

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

  Hi,

  There is a way! Add a text widget and paste our Display Posts Shortcode.

  So, for example, if your tag was “tag1”, you could use this:
  [display-posts posts_per_page="-1" tag="tag1"]

  The posts_per_page value indicates how many to be listed, with -1 being all posts matching the tag.

  The tag value should be, what we call the slug, which can be found on your Posts->Tags page. Typically, it is an all lower-case version of the tag with hyphens between words, but can vary a bit.

  Please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything else we can do for you.
