    http://www.bpmwatch.com/ has 2 main categories we update columns and knowledgebase. But 99% of the time we update only "columns" category. Due to this Google is seeing the homepage and /columns has duplicate content

    From June 2015 the site has taken a hit (Google Core Algorithm Change).

    Is there a widget I could use to force to show knowledgebase articles on homepage by which homepage and /columns will not resemble each other?

    And the "Latest Columns" box at the end of each article ( http://www.bpmwatch.com/columns/top-5-online-courses-on-big-data/ ) could also be hurting.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    I think that you need a SEO plugin, like Yoast SEO, to set the canonical url for each post. This will tell Google where the original page is and then you will not have duplicate content.

    You will get something link this in your markup for each post/page:
    <link href="http://www.bpmwatch.com/columns/top-5-online-courses-on-big-data/" rel="canonical" />
