  • Hello @imansani93

    With the 2.0 update, we have refactored our old widgets into new Gutenberg blocks. They should be available in your library.

    Something like this – https://ibb.co/rm6WNdK

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks.

    Thank you, but I have another problem. In the Advanced Posts widget that I created, I don’t want to display Sticky Posts, and I have selected the exclude option. But it doesn’t seem to work. Sticky Posts still appear.

    Hello @imansani93

    That is actually “correct”, so to speak. WordPress’ sticky posts feature does not permit excluding them completely. It excludes the fact that it is sticky and doesn’t show it at the top, but it cannot exclude it from the loop entirely.

    Hope this clears things up!

    Hi @imansani93

    Just a quick update from our devs. They have agreed that the standard WordPress terminology is quite confusing.

    In a close future update, we will change the behaviour to be in line with the core Query Loop block from WordPress, meaning that sticky posts will actually be hidden from the loop.

    Keep an eye on your dashboard for the update. ??

    Thanks.

    2.0.12 will have this improvement. Should come out this week. ??

    Thanks again!
