    How to show posts from the same category as the post I am viewing?

    If i’m looking at a post from category A , I want the sidebar posts to be from category A, and so on for other categories

    The plugin has an option to do this. Activate “When on single posts, get posts from the current category” under “Getting posts” > “Change the query when on single posts” > “Get posts from current category”.

    Be aware that if the post has multiple categories, the plugin will get the posts under the category with the lowest ID in the array, as explained in the widget itself:

    When activated, this function will get posts from the first category of the post, ignoring other parameters like tags, date, post formats, etc. If the post has multiple categories, the plugin will use the first category in the array of categories (the category with the lowest key in the array). Custom post types are excluded from this feature.
