 * I just updated to version 2.0 and I lost the post widget in the sidebar. how 
   do I add a new post widget? I need a random post in the sidebar, but there is
   no option to select a post widget.
 * Widget display after update

 * Hello [@imansani93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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!
