    Hi All,
    I'm loving Studiopress and "Outreach" theme, and almost finished with a site for a client. However, I am having a problem with the Genesis Featured Posts widget in the Primary Sidebar. I have a two-column layout throughout, using a right-side Primary Sidebar for featured posts. BUT I need to have more than one Post Category in the sidebar, and I tried to apply more than one Genesis Featured Post, but only one instance of the Featured Post will display, showing only one Post Category.

    Can't I schlep more than one Genesis Featured Post widget into the sidebar?

    Does this mean I need some PHP re-writes? {:-O

    Thanks for any help!

    Barbara

    Multiple instances of widgets have been supported in WP for a long long while now. And Genesis widgets have no problems with displaying multiple instances - see http://azzag.co.uk/2013/06 as a very quick and dirty example.

    Disable all other plugins, clear any caches and try again.
