# Recent posts widget

 * Hello there.
 * I’m using a Gridsby child theme for my site – and it’s working out great. However
   the “recent post” widget is giving me a little trouble.
 * It’s showing all my recent posts, meaning image-posts as well – and I just need
   it to show blog posts.
 * For some reason setting conditions in the widget won’t work.
 * For example: I assign the category “photo” to all my image-posts and “blog” to
   all my blog-posts. Then I select “show if category is blog” – but still it returns
   all posts.
 * The same goes with assigning different authors for the “photo” and “blog” posts.
   Show if author is xxx.
 * So this widget seems broken, except I can turn “display post date” on / off.
 * Any ideas why? 🙂
