    Hi there,

    I have not much time at the moment. But I will give it a shot in the next couple of months.

    Cheers

    Hmm. Just did a test, and making the post draft makes it disappear from the dropdown menu of post options. Also, with no posts to show, any custom styling applied in the section at the very bottom of the widget options still shows. I was thinking that the widget would just change to display:none.

    So I appreciate what you’ve put into it, but I’m not seeing the results with version 2.9.1…

    Hi there,

    making the post draft will always make it disappear from the dropdown, in deed. That has always been part of the deal; it only gets posts that have the post_status ‘publish’.

    In the widget there is a loop that gets a post by it’s ID. So it would show the post no matter, what status it has. That is also the reason, why the widget cannot disappear completely. The loop is inside the widget and can only prevent the post from appearing in the widget.

    Regards
