    The issue I am having is that the featured posts widget is not displaying the most current posts. This problem is occurring on several of my sites and I can't figure out how to to fix it without coding the script to replace the widget.

    The site has two widget areas:
    Student Widget #1 - Main featured post. It should display the most current post from the specific category. Currently, displaying a post from 1/7.

    Student Widget #2 - Secondary featured posts. This widget has an offset of 1 and displays 2 of the most current posts. Displaying posts from 1/19 and 1/12.

    Here are the widget settings:
    Student Widget #1

    Student Widget #2

    Here is a screenshot of the posts for that category with the quick edit showing for the post trumping the date sort.
    Student Posts

    The Student Widget #1 should show the 1/19 post and the Student Widget #2 should show 1/15 and 1/7 posts. Can anyone help me figure this out or possibly direct me to a script to replace this?

    did you get this figured out? When I look it seems to be showing the way you wanted it, if I'm understanding correctly.

    Yes, I finally got it. It turns out there was a plugin conflict that the network/host company installed without informing us.
