    Hi,
    Can you tell me if it is possible to exclude only one category from the Featured Posts widget?
    It seems there are only two options for using one category or all of them. I would like to use all of them EXCEPT one.

    Thanks 🙂

    I actually found that when I googled the problem, but when I search for it in Plugins, I can't find it to enable it.
    🙁

    EDITED-
    Found it! had to search for the whole name instead of just genesis featured widget...

    Hoping it will work 🙂

    Bizarrely, since enabling it, it fixed my initial problem, but for some reason, the post titles in the blog section are now underlined!
    Can't seem to find where to change it in css either.

    Oh the joys of customising...LOL

    go to line no 180 of your style.css file and replace the code by this

    a {
        color: #000000;
        text-decoration: none;
    }
